Loadshedding Proof

Montusi Self Catering Cottages is a highly recommended property for self catering in Bergville for anyone visiting the Drakensberg region.

Montusi is a spacious and quiet development in the Northern KwaZulu Natal Drakensberg near Royal Natal National Park and Alpine Heath, the Cavern Berg Resort and Hlalanathi.

Self Catering Accommodation

There are six privately owned self-catering cottages. Each cottage has magnificent views of the Drakensberg's Amphitheatre, a World Heritage site.

Please see the individual cottage descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

Location & Attractions

Situated in the Kwazulu Natal Drakensberg, halfway between Johannesburg and Durban, Montusi has a full and uninterrupted view of the Drakensberg's most famous part, the Amphitheatre escarpment. Our guests enjoy this spectacular scenery in the comfort of their cottages. Activities on the 1000 hectare estate are diverse. Enjoy the peace.

Since June 2000 the Carte family has provided an opportunity for their guests to intimately indulge in the freedom of the Drakensberg experience. We believe in the conservation of the Northern Drakensberg and for ten years we have preserved and planted - changing a Wattle infested wasteland into a rehabilitated conservation area.

Our indigenous trees and manmade forests continue to flourish and the resultant birdlife (once non-existent) has become abundant. This ethic has resulted in the return of the Mountain Reedbuck, Vaal Rhebuck, Bushbuck and the elusive Eland to this area once inhabited by Bushmen. This is an idyllic escape to space, comfort and peace.

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.

An excellent property, large and roomy, well equipped with a nice sitting out area situated on a safe well tended estate with spectacular views of the Drakensbergs including the Amphitheatre itself. A must is to visit the Royal Natal National Park and ensure you walk on the embankment of the pool, the view of the Amphitheatre is magnificent with reflections in the water. Anyway back to the property, would heartily recommend.
