MAWELAWELA LODGE
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
in Elandslaagte, Midlands / Battlefields,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

In the heart of the Anglo Zulu and Boer war battlefields,St Lucia and the Cape.

George and Herta are natural, down-to-earth couple whose veins of hospitality run deep... And their farmhouse B&B is awash with incidental pleasures guaranteed to make your stay a memorable one. Herta, an Austrian, moved out to South Africa twenty-eight years ago and married George, who is a beef and game farmer. He is also a highly knowledgeable historian, which explains the painting of an unhappy Napolean on his way to St Helen which stares out at the family dining room, and the private museum full of weighty tomes on the Anglo Boer wars, boasting an extensive picture collection and library. One can spend hours immersed among the prints of battle scenes and Boer war literature including a fascinating London illustrated News annual from 1899. George also leads tours out to the nearby battlefields, especially Elandslaagte.

The two twin rooms at the end of the main house are both very comfortable, and across the jacaranda-filled garden is a self contained apartment with 3 bedrooms - one single, one double, one twin bedded, small fully fitted kitchen, perfect for a family or group. Beyond is the farm itself which, as well as the cattle is home to over 22 plain game species and 280 birds species.
