Info

(provided to guests as part of their tariff), tea-time treats, light lunches and substantial meals. Complimentary tea and coffee is available all day for Lodge guests. The comfortable lounge is dominated by a fireplace for cosy winter evenings, and a TV to watch that all-important game. The pub is well stocked and welcoming. The Lodge has a transfer service to the Sentinel Car Park which is the starting point for a hike up the Chain Ladders. Lunch packs can be pre-ordered, and for those unfamiliar with the area, a qualified mountain guide can accompany your group. Rates for these services, as well as hiking fees from the car Park are on the Price List. Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge has a Vulture Restaurant where regular sightings of the rare and endangered Bearded Vulture can be enjoyed. Bones put at the site on alternate clear days attract the birds (they won’t fly in if it’s overcast). If this is a special interest, please ask at Reception when the next feeding will take place. A well-defined vantage point for photographers allows for excellent photographic opportunities. Short and long day-hikes that do not go up the Chain Ladders start at Witsieshoek. A short stroll down to Mahai Falls, or a full-day hike to Gudu Falls is both popular and worthwhile. At 2200m above sea-level, the weather is variable, and can change dramatically in a short space of time. For that reason it would be wise to include a good book and your favourite board games in your luggage, in case the mountain mists change your outdoor plans. The local Batlokoa community who own the Lodge are renowned for their friendly manner, the Batlokoa people welcome visitors to their local church where an excellent choir sings on Sunday mornings. Traders in the local village of Tsheseng, the closest town to Phuthaditjhaba, can show you both modern commerce and traditional craft and art. Ask at Witsieshoek for more details on suggested local places to visit. Additional services for guests (to be booked at reception) • Transfers to and from the Sentinel Car Park • Mountain guides to guide hikers • Local village guide • Vulture Restaurant: Morning feeding to attract Bearded Vultures can be arranged for clear days. How to get there Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge is centrally located, about 4 hours from Johannesburg, Durban or Bloemfontein. Follow the main routes to Harrismith. From Harrismith take the R712 in the direction of Clarens/Golden Gate. At the town of Phuthaditjhaba take the R57 and continue straight through Phuthaditjhaba over the Namahadi River and enter the Sentinel Peak at the Toll Gate. Follow the signs to Witsieshoek which is about 27kms from where you first entered Phuthaditjhaba.
