Lythwood Lodge

Lythwood Lodge is a luxury four star country accommodation, just one and a half hours from Durban and five hours from Johannesburg.

Just one and a half hours from Durban and five hours from Johannesburg is Lythwood a boutique country hotel estate nestled in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Far enough away, for you to feel as if youve left it all behind. Close enough for a quick mid-week break.

Tucked away in the middle of farmlands and forest right on the KZN Midlands Meander. A place where you and your loved ones can relax, have fun and make memories. Big trees, open lawns, beautiful gardens. Natural forests and rolling hills. Pastures with cattle grazing lazily. Small game also make an appearance. Fresh air and wide open spaces. Occasionally, we are shrouded in mist, giving you that otherworldly English Countryside feel.

Combine this relaxing country environment with our beautiful boutique hotel suites, meadow rooms, and our fully equipped, self-catering family cottages and you have the perfect mix.

Warm fireplaces and comfortable lounges to take tea and play board games; a bar area to watch the game and have a few drinks; or simply enjoy a riveting novel while we wait on you hand and foot. And if the mood grabs you, you can watch whatever takes your fancy on our selection of DStvf channels in your suite.

Lythwood is close to golfing, mountain biking, walking and hiking trails and other family friendly activities. If its swinging from the trees at the famous Karkloof Canopy Tours, or fishing for that elusive Trout, we have it all.

Want to go shopping or try out the local cuisine? Lythwood is situated right along the popular KZN Midlands Meander. There are all kinds of special and unique arts, crafts and wares to be discovered.

Lythwood Conferences (or Conference Venue):

One thing you know about planning a conference, is that the venue you choose is key to the success of a conference. You can have everything organised, right down to the last dotted i and crossed t. If the conference venue doesn't come to the party, you're the one left putting out fires. Organising a country conference is even trickier; you don't have all the Plan B options available to you, as you do in the city.

You see, having a great venue, that cooks delicious food, has a spacious conference hall and break-away rooms, luxury accommodation, team-building opportunities, and gives you top-notch service is par for the course. It's what you expect from an award winning conference venue.

At Lythwood, you can expect us to get all those details right.
