Stunning Mountain Retreat
Qambathi was absolutely stunning. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful staff who made sure our stay was all we expected and more. Nadia and Stephen are lovely hosts who really went out of their way to accommodate us with our pets. The rooms were clean and comfortable with lovely garden views. Forest walks and mountain views near by and the food was delicious too. We would definitely return to Qambathi again.

Can't wait to return to this idyllic lodge
Beautiful location, views and walks. Nadia and Stephen are excellent hosts creating a warm, peaceful and relaxed environment, assisted by a great team providing friendly service. Superb food is prepared using high quality, fresh local ingredients by a great chef. There is a carefully chosen wine list with reasonable prices.
