Royal Natal Hotel? |

The Royal Natal National Park Hotel was indeed used by the cast and crew of ZULU, along with the Mont-aux-Sources Hotel. My understanding is that a restoration project of some sort is under way: whether it will be used as a hotel, museum or tourist centre I'm not sure. Check the website of KZN newspaper The Witness and there may be more details from my local contact, Stephen Coan.

Much thanks for the response, Sheldon. I suspected such must be the case and I appreciate the affirmation. I was fortunate to have been able to visit The RNNP and asked a grizzled Zulu ranger at the visitor center about the location of the filming and he directed me to the old hotel site as he recalled their making the movie nearby to it when he was a kid. I regret now I didn't prime him further for an anecdote or three! I did check the links you suggested and found that there is some renovation/restoration talk in the winds, but it's not much past the planning phase at this point. Thanks again.
