About Buller's Rest Lodge
Buller's Rest Lodge is an upmarket, country-style lodge situated in the pretty suburb of Ladysmith, in the heart of the Anglo- Boer War Battlefields.
Buller's Rest offers superior accommodation in Ladysmith in a beautiful setting which boasts a superb outlook over the town, towards the central Drakensberg. Most rooms have their own private entrance and overlook either the pool area, garden or deck.
Accommodation
Buller's Rest Lodge offers a choice of 12 en suite bedrooms which include three family suites with full bathrooms, and two economy rooms. Our rooms are fitted with extra length, superior quality beds; free Wi-Fi service; flat screen TVs with DStv hotel bouquet; tea and coffee facilities; fans and heating.
Facilities
The lodge provide laundry facilities, hair-dryers, safe-keeping facilities and universal adapters on request.
Breakfast and Dining
The rates include a full English breakfast which is served from 06h30 during the week and from 07h00 on the weekends. Dinner is by arrangement at 19h00 on Monday to Thursday. This delicious, home cooked, three course meal is served with red or white wine as well as tea and coffee. Guests are encouraged to sit together in the dining hall creating a friendly family atmosphere, but have the option of room service from 19h30.
Weekend guests are welcome to order from the menu of a popular local restaurant, or be collected for their meal there. Lunch packs are available on request. Available too are braai / barbeque facilities on our wooden deck at the pool area.
Entertainment
Enjoy a drink in our "Boer War Pub", and lose yourself amongst the many original battlefield artifacts. Choose from the varied selection of wines available in our quaint wine cellar below the bar!
Security
Buller's Rest Lodge provides secure, walled parking with CCTV cameras and is fully enclosed by electric fencing.
Attractions and Activities
The Spionkop Nature Reserve and the Nambithi Conservancy are both short distances from the town and offer game viewing. The Central and Northern Drakensberg mountain ranges are within an hour and a half's drive. Historical battlefield tours of the Anglo-Boer or Anglo-Zulu wars with registered SATOUR guides can be arranged by request.
Ladysmith
Ladysmith is well positioned on the main route between Johannesburg and Durban, being four hours from Johannesburg and three hours from Durban. The town of Ladysmith featured very prominently in the Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902) and is subsequently steeped in history. The Siege Museum is definitely worth a visit, as well as several other memorial sites and monuments, and of course the Mahadma Gandhi Memorial and Soofie Mosque.
The Ladysmith Country Club which offers golf, tennis, squash and bowls is a stone's throw from Bullers Rest.

Verified review
A big and light room with modern features, a fridge, and coffee-making facilities. Wonderful views over the valley and parts of the town. Some small things needed maintenance. The breakfast was average. Good secure on-site parking. A very interesting and cosy pub with information displayed on the walls, depicting pictures and other paraphernalia of the Boer War. The staff were friendly and efficient. The gardens well kept and filled with bird song. An above average stay.
