There is an all-together feeling at Three Tree Hill. Meals are eaten at one table and the atmosphere is involving on the tours. Andrew knows his potatoes when it comes to the history too - his Boer War tours are engrossing. Meanwhile, back at the lodge you can take time out from all the action in very private cottages, with their own unobserved verandah looking onto the park. They are simple in design with orange oxide floors, hand-embroidered covers on beds - the aloe is the house symbol - wooden wash stands in bathrooms, 100 per cent cotton sheets, down duvets for crisp winter nights. The emphasis is on simple good quality, rather than elaborate decoration.

The pièce de résistance at the lodge was the swimming pool, reached through a gauntlet of dalek-like aloes and perched precariously on the hip of the valley. Horse riding from the lodge is now available to guests and building on the new library has begun.

So if your looking for a place where art, beauty and time away are important then Three Tree Hill Lodge is worth a second look.
