Centrally positioned between Durban and East London, Country Lodge is an ideal base from which to explore the Transkei Hinterland, the magestic Wild Coast region and local attractions such as the Nelson Mandela Museum, Qunu - Mandelas birthplace. We are also a convenient stop-over point to break your journey from Natal to the CapeSituated on the banks of the Mtata River, Country Lodge offers a refreshing alternative to accommodation in Umtata. Guests can savour the peace and tranquility of country living, yet still enjoy luxurious en suite bedrooms, home-cooked full English breakfasts, and 3 course dinners, DSTV, swimming pool and guarded under-cover parking.

Situated only 2,5 km from the centre of Umtata, Country Lodge offers good old-fashioned hospitality at competitive rates, with discounts for extended stays. A friendly pub with arguably the best view in Umtata, where log fires burn on cold winter nights, is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day, and families will welcome the wide open spaces of this country garden.

So whether it is business or pleasure, why spend your evenings cooped up in a hotel room when you could be marvelling at a magnificent Transkei sunset from the verandah of this home away from home.
