This is a lovely place to stay. Perfect location just above and 150 yards from the original Rorke's Drift. Quite rustic with big, airy rooms, very good ambiance provided by the hands on owner and totally in keeping with the surroundings. Good access to the battlefields of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it wasn't long enough. Perfect location on the Buffalo River with outstanding views.

We spent a lovely four days at Rorke's Drift Hotel and managed to get in some walking, sightseeing, relaxing and swimming.

Spent an excellent few days at this hotel. Charles made us feel very welcome and with NIkki as our guide we learnt a great deal about the Zulu wars. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel and trips to anyone who wants to improve their knowledge of this period in British history
