Welcome To Mmelesi Lodge
Nestled in the shadows of the famous Thaba-Bosiu Mountain, about 25km from Maseru, lies Mmelesi Lodge – a modern hotel built in the traditional Basotho style. The complex is constructed in sandstone and the roofs are masterfully thatched. The main building consists of a restaurant, a conference room and a bar. Behind the main building are bedrooms. There are 38 rooms in all, (26 chalets/rondavels and 12 Standard rooms) within the premises of the lodge.
The Mmelesi Lodge lies in the fertile lands below Thaba-Bosiu. Thaba-Bosiu itself is a national monument and apart from the incredible sandstone formations surrounding it e.g. Qiloane Rock, it is the burial place of King Moshoeshoe I and II. The mountain is considered sacred and it is the destination of many pilgrims journey. The Thaba-Bosiu mountain committee has permanent guides, who are well informed and available to take guided tours up and around the mountain. To the western side of the lodge id the Phuthiatsana river, a stunning picnic area but when flooded prevents access to the further lying western villages. Being so central, Mmelesi Lodge has easy accessibility to Maseru (for shopping trips) and the mountain road into the glorious Maluti Mountains
