Motivation for award: Travellers staying at Three Tree Hill are impressed by their unique approach to unpretentious luxury and fresh farm-style fare, whilst remaining true to an admirable sustainability philosophy. Three Tree Hill provides an authentic, personalized, owner-hosted experience in the foothills of the Kwa Zulu Natal Drakensberg mountains, a World Heritage Site. Encouraging guests to participate (and learn from) their various initiatives, including the cyclic turning of the Solar Cooker outside the kitchen, collecting & drying the tea bags out in the sun to be used as firelighters later on & turning the used coffee grains & crushed egg shells into the Permaculture garden for consumption later on. Sourcing sustainable goods & employing, training & uplifting the local community are all part of their mantra. Free range chickens, children, horses & dogs welcome you to the lodge, creating a relaxed, natural atmosphere.
