Vultures Lodge is a highly recommended guest house with self catering option, providing accommodation in Zastron for anyone visiting the Xhariep Region.

About Vultures Lodge

Vultures Lodge nestles in the shade of the spectacular sandstone mountain, Aasvoëlberg. At 2207m (approximately 7240 feet), it is the highest peak in the province and has a unique feature, a 9 meter wide hole between two huge buttresses; the famous 'eye'. The mountain is a backdrop for the town Zastron in the south eastern Free State province of South Africa.

Vultures Lodge takes its name from the Cape Vulture (Gyps Coprotheres), which has favoured the cliffs of the mountain for nesting for a long time and is the site of the only colony of Cape Vultures to be found in the Free State.

Accommodation

Vultures Lodge consists of six en-suite rooms (in the main house). All the rooms are very spacious and are furnished with beautiful old furniture. Tastefully decorated and equipped with DStv, a bar fridge, fan, heater, hairdryer, good bedding and fitted with electric blankets. The house has a comfortable lounge and dining room, with a double sided wood fireplace in the dining room and the lounges' fireplace has a beautiful carved finish. There is a large outside sandstone living area to sit and relax, or admire the beautiful landscape and mountain backdrop.

There are also three self catering cottages. Each consists of one bedroom with a spacious open plan kitchen (fully equipped) and the lounge area is furnished with a sleeper couch. All three the cottages are provided with good bedding and towels. Each has a veranda, braai facility and outdoor furniture.

The property has secure fencing with an alarm system. There is shaded parking.

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.

  • Inverter and backup batteries
  • WiFi stays on
  • Gas cooker (stove)
