Nestled in the rolling green hills of KwaZulu-Natal's north coast, lies the jewel of the Mount Edgecombe Country Club Golf Estate. This is one of the most prestigious and secure golf estates in South Africa. Fairways Lodge, an exclusive boutique hotel, overlooks the 10th fairway of Course Two. This Lodge offers its guests luxurious accommodation, fine cuisine and activities to suit everyone.

Mount Edgecombe's history is interwoven with that of early Natal's prosperous sugar barons and the captivating ambience of the Lodge is enhanced by the exquisite attention to important details. This is evident in the impeccable service and classical African colonial decor, that creates an exclusive retreat for the visitor, business person, congress delegate or visiting dignitaries. A stay at Fairways Lodge is an unforgettable experience.

Exquisitely appointed interiors in Africa's rich, royal colours, create a mood of ease and comfort. All rooms are en-suite, elegantly spacious with a private lounge, opulent bathroom and large patio overlooking the golf estate. The combination of fabric and natural material textures is enthralling. All suites are air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, satellite TV, wall-safe. Wireless access available throughout the hotel.
