In July 2024, we had the chance to stay in this extraordinary place, surrounded by nature. After traveling 3 km on a chaotic track, accessible only by 4x4s and SUVs, we reached Kukummi Lodge, formerly Mackaya Bella Country Lodge. Nestled in an isolated valley, this lodge is a true haven of peace, far from everything. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Bryan and Danny, as well as Amina, our contact before the stay. Seeking to return to their roots, they left their previous life to acquire this property just a year ago. Their attention to every detail made our stay memorable. Located on the edge of the Mdedelelo Wilderness Area & Solitude park (Champagne Valley), the lodge offers superb hiking options. The landscapes are breathtaking, and each hike reveals new wonders. We enjoyed a sunny day hiking, guided by Danny who showed us the treasures of the region. We then explored the central part of the Drakensberg (Monks Cowl), and can say that this lodge is undoubtedly the gem among all those we visited during our stay. This lodge, particularly isolated, is ideal for those seeking to recharge and share special moments with the hosts. With only three rooms at that time, the experience is intimate and personalized ! As for us, we will return during our next stay in South Africa.

I checked late at 9:00 pm local time. The host was awake and ready to welcome. The entrance gates to hotel compound were automatically operated so it was very safe. The entire place was booked but there was no noise from other guests. There was hot water available at all times. And a fire place to keep you warm. The host was always available for any help. Host permitted me to check in late and check out late too. The area around the cottages was huge and well maintained.

Great hospitality. Comes with tea, coffee, fresh milk, bottled water. Place was so clean and so cozy. Fully equipped with a TV, wifi, air conditioning. Definitely great 10/10. The attention to detail was everything. From the little treats left on the bedside to the rusk biscuits which were so thoughtful. Super friendly owners. This will definitely be a place I would want to come back to.

Lovely cottage nestled in the beautifull and safe town off Himeville. Peacefull setting with the most awesome view off Sani Pass in the distance. The cottage had more than we needed for an overnight stay. Angie spoiled us with homemade bread that we enjoyed immediately. Also there were treats on the bed and the fridge was stocked with everything we needed for breakfast.

We loved everything about the place. There are so many things in the house that make the property very practical. For example, there was an ice maker, coffee machine with flavors, soda stream, microwave, 2 fridges, washing machine and detergent, lunchboxes, plates, cutlery, smart tv, WiFi, puzzles, a dart board, braai area with everything you need, camp chairs and of course the star of the show - the Kolkol Hottub! I could keep counting forever

We had a great stay for 3 nights at the guesthouse. Jacky was a great host and a lovely person. She gave us some nice recommendations for things to do around Drakensbergen. We also had a really nice massage from her daughter Nicola, after two days of hiking.

It was situated in an Eco estate. Andrew and Daryl had thought of little things and had great attention to detail. Andrew took us on a lovely little drive and showed us around and was a great host. It was a wonderful stay and we would definitely return. Really loved our stay especially the story about Smudge the Zebra.
