Fugitives Drift Guest House, the original, old farmhouse is the setting for your stay in the Natal Battlefields region of South Africa.
The family-owned Guest House is situated in the 2500 hectare Fugitives Drift Nature Reserve, 8km's from the battlefield of Rorke's Drift.
Fugitives Drift Guest House and Uyaphi.com have had a relationship for two decades, a relationship that includes 100's of clients that have all walked away at the end of their stay with a renewed sense of history and having enjoyed genuine South African hospitality.
As the pioneering family in "Heritage Tourism", the Rattray family offers up an experience like very few others in the industry can.
Six large cottages with private verandahs offering guests views out over the surrounding battlefields and bushveld.
All cottages offer up en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and king-sized beds (or two 3/4's should you be sharing with a friend).
Furnishing are more of a rustic nature while still offering up a luxury feel.
Breakfasts and lunches are a flavoursome affair either hosted in the indoor dining area or outside on the verandah - weather dependant
If one is participating in a full day tour of the surrounding battlefields a picnic lunch is catered for.
At nightfall, under a canopy of stars, gather around the fire in a boma area in front of the central lodge area where traditional country cooking is offered in a charming, country setting. Superb food and personal service are a feature of this outstanding facility.
Fugitives Drift Guest House boasts a swimming pool for escape from those hot natal summers; the pool has views out over Isandlwana and surrounding bushveld.
A covered verandah surrounds the main guest area, again with views of all that surround.
Inside one has access to a lounge area with a small library and open fireplace as well as an adjoining indoor diner area.
