Thatched Rondavels and Lodges
The lodge offers 11 en-suite rondavels and family lodges set on 12 hectares of natural bush. Each room includes a TV, private bathroom with bath or shower, free toiletries, and river views. Rooms feature air conditioning, heating, and ironing facilities. Some accommodations include a lounge area. The thatched roofs help keep rooms cool without aircon.
On-Site Dining Options
The restaurant serves African-inspired cuisine with à la carte breakfast, kids' meals, and special diet menus. The fully licensed ReZone Bar offers wine, champagne, and a relaxed setting. The Gecko Coffee Shop provides casual dining under thorn trees. Guests can also use BBQ facilities and picnic areas. Breakfast and dinner are praised for generous portions and value.
Spa, Games, and Grounds
The on-site spa offers affordable treatments and wellness packages. Leisure activities include billiards, darts, cycling, fishing, mini golf, and a golf course nearby. The property has four dams, rolling lawns, and an outdoor fireplace. Guests can play a unique Zulu board game or use the shared lounge with TV. Adventure golf is also available on the grounds.
Near Duzi River and City
Ascot Bush Lodge is adjacent to the Duzi River, 10 km from Pietermaritzburg city center with shops and dining. It is near the N3 highway (traffic noise is noticeable) and close to natural reserves, parks, and the golf course. King Shaka International Airport is an hour's drive away. The property feels secluded despite being in suburbia.
24-Hour Service and Extras
The 24-hour front desk offers tour desk services, daily housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning. Free WiFi and free parking are provided. The lodge has 24-hour security, CCTV, and fire extinguishers. Business travelers can use meeting facilities and packed lunches. Kids' meals and family rooms are available. Key access and invoice provision are standard.
“Ascot Bush Lodge & Spa offers a remarkably serene escape, with its rondavel rooms providing spacious, comfortable accommodation amidst well-maintained gardens. The attentive staff and delicious, reasonably priced meals at the on-site restaurant contribute to a truly relaxing atmosphere. It's a place I'd readily return to, especially after experiencing the calibre of their spa treatments.”
