Experience authentic off the grid luxury at Dragonview Lodge, the Drakensberg’s only four star environmentally sustainable boutique hotel.
BRINGING ECO CONSTRUCTION TO THE DRAKENSBERG
The Build
When building a boutique hotel in a world heritage site careful consideration needs to be given to environmental impact. Our aim was to combine contemporary architecture with ecologically sustainable luxury. The modern design combines brick, steel and off shutter concrete to create a unique upmarket lodge unlike any other in the Drakensberg.
Dragonview lodge operates entirely off the grid:
- Over a hundred solar panels line the roof powering the entire lodge.
- Water is extracted from our borehole drilled above a natural spring.
- Stormwater is collected and stored in attenuation tanks and used for landscape irrigation.
- The rim-flow rock pool is built into the natural rock below the lodge.
