Behind the main building are 26 neatly constructed chalets and 12 standard rooms. Each bedroom is fully furnished and contains one double and one single bed all of which are en-suite. Each room can accommodate a maximum of three people. The thatch roofing acts as a temperature regulator since it keeps the room cool on hot days and warm when it is cold. However, we provide fans (on request at the reception) if you feel that your room is not as cool as you wish as well as a heater in every room and electric blankets fitted on each bed for extra warmth on those chilly nights.
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
