Lupela Lodge is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Lady Grey for tourists visiting the Eastern Cape Highlands region.
Lupela Lodge is situated in a peaceful and scenic valley in the Witteberg Mountains and is hidden in a gorge that opens into a wide valley of green pastures and sandstone mountainsides.
Lupela is situated within easy reach of Lady Grey town and is near to Joubert’s Pass - the 3rd highest in the country. Although Lupela is a convenient 5km from the tar road, you will feel like you have stepped into another, more tranquil world. Awesome fly-fishing, warm hospitality and great food keep Lupela's guests returning year after year.

Our group of nine stayed in the Lodge. What a wonderful place. The house is beautifully done and so comfortable, with a wide stoep that we simply wanted to sit on all day. What a view! We hiked and swam in the river. Lupela Lodge really is food for the soul. Our two day stay was just too short. We all want to go back. Thank you so much for sharing this piece of heaven with us.
