Ghost Mountain Inn

Located in northern KwaZulu-Natal at the foot of Ghost Mountain (near Mkuze town), the inn sits a short drive from uMkhuze Game Reserve and Lake Jozini. The area’s mosaic of wetlands, riverine forests, and acacia savanna supports excellent birdlife and scenic landscapes. Road connections make day trips straightforward across Zululand and the Elephant Coast, including iSimangaliso’s attractions further south. From the property, guests can join early morning safaris, lake cruises at golden hour, or relaxed cultural outings, returning to a peaceful garden setting beneath the mountain’s dramatic silhouette.

Accommodation comprises 74 en-suite rooms designed for comfort after days outdoors. Categories typically include standard, superior, and family-friendly options, with some rooms opening onto garden patios or balconies. Expect essentials such as air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee stations, televisions, and practical storage. Decor draws on natural tones and local textures for a calm, contemporary feel. Couples can opt for quieter, garden-facing rooms, while families benefit from spacious layouts and convenient proximity to lawns and the pool area. Housekeeping and friendly front-of-house teams help tailor stays to pace and interests.

Dining spans an indoor restaurant and terrace for breakfast and hearty dinners, often highlighting regional flavors. Casual drinks and sundowners are available at the two bars—ideal before or after excursions. A restful spa offers massages and targeted treatments, while the main pool and shaded gardens provide welcome relief on warm Zululand afternoons. The activity desk can arrange guided drives in uMkhuze, boat cruises on Lake Jozini, birding outings, cultural experiences, and transfers. Thoughtful touches—like packed breakfasts for early departures and advice on seasonal sightings—round out an easy, experience-forward stay.
