Rooms

All of the property's accommodation options are large with good amenities, spacious en suite bathrooms and private balconies offering immaculate views over the plains. Amenities include telephones, safe deposit box, hair dryers and toiletries and all are decorated in a similar style. Accommodation comprises a handful of spacious cottages, each one tastefully decorated and featuring a private veranda. There's also a larger separate cottage which has two en suite bedrooms and a sitting area, making it ideal for families or larger groups.

The Rattray family have ensured that the history of the region is an important part of their guests' experience and that the accommodation embraces the beautiful nature of its surroundings, with each cottage combining historical artifacts with modern furnishings to create a characterful, warm and inviting environment.

Location

Fugitives' Drift is located at Rorke’s Drift, within the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa and within a 20 square kilometer Natural Heritage Site. The property is located on the very site where clashes took place between the Zulu warriors and British soldiers, making it a poignant and fascinating place to stay and explore.

Food and drink

A huge part of the lodge's aim is to personalize each guest's experience. Food and wine selection is therefore excellent, and guests staying here are spoilt for choice. Breakfast and lunch is served in the Harford Library, which has amazing views, and on warm, clear days guests are treated to breakfast and lunch outside on the deck. Dinner is served à la carte in the boma or in the main house.

Families

The property has many outdoor activities for all ages, including the Battlefield Kids program for younger guests. Families can be accommodated in the lodge's two sets of inter-leading rooms. It is worth noting that some tours and drives may not allow children under the age of 12, and younger children are not allowed in the dining room. 

Honeymooners

The lodge creates a friendly yet private ambiance for honeymooners, and the scenic surroundings create an intimate setting to celebrate any special occasion.

Facilities and activities

A large swimming pool is available for guest use, set within the pleasant gardens. The lodge also offers complimentary Wi-Fi in all public areas, a turn down and wake up service and a number of interesting tours, which form a great part of the Fugitives' Drift experience.
