Sani Valley Lodge is a 4 star graded hotel offering Sani Pass accommodation for tourists and visitors of Drakensberg.

About Sani Valley Lodge

Sani valley is a private game lodge in the Southern Drakensberg that is only 2 hours from Durban and located a short distance from Himeville and Underberg. It lies halfway up the Sani Pass and borders a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the only private game lodge in the Natal Southern Drakensberg and has some of the most sought after "wild trout" fishing in the entire Drakensberg region.

Sani Valley Lodge is a unique blend of nature, activity and luxury self-catering lodge accommodation. Our lodges are individually dotted around a large 106-hectare lake, giving you true privacy at the foot of the spectacular Drakensberg Sani Pass. Sani Valley Lodge offers you total privacy, refinement, tranquillity and an extensive range of exciting activities.

Accommodation

Sani Valley Nature lodges have been designed with luxury for full or semi-catered accommodation. The concept gives you a private and highly personal experience with unobtrusive lodge services. You are left to relax in your exclusive private lodge which is serviced daily.

All the lodges offer a spacious and open lounge/dining room/fully equipped kitchen. Whether in your bedroom or in the lounge, you simply have to step out through the large sliding door onto the private veranda to get a panoramic view of the lake and the spectacular Drakensberg mountains. In winter you will particularly enjoy the comfort of a cosy fireplace in the lounge, electric blankets, overhead heating along with heated towel rails in the bathrooms.

SANI VALLEY CLUB HOUSE

The Sani Valley Club House is the hub on the lake for all to enjoy.

It is our new pride and joy, with recent additions including a beautiful undercover area that can seat up to 60 people. The boats, kayaks and all on lake safety equipment can be found here.

Breakfast is served daily at the Clubhouse for our catered guests. Breakfast on the waters’ edge overlooking the mountains is a great way to start your day.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
