We spent three days at this hotel. The location is just beautiful, set at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains. The view from our room was wonderful and we had a flock of geese, baboons and monkeys wandering about outside. The bedroom was very large with a huge bed and a balcony overlooking the grounds as well as views of... More

Beautiful hotel in magnificent surroundings. Very comfortable room - although the promised view of the mountain was blocked by a tree... Revisited after 30 years. Disappointed by indifferent food. Bland, often over-cooked. Atmosphere spoilt by management reprimanding a staff member in our presence... Definitely not on! Suggest management spend more time on making guests feel welcome and ensuring standards are... More

Spent 3 nights here last week, the hotel is set in the most exquisite surroundings and have some fantastic challenging hikes. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back when I next visit South Africa but will certainly stay longer.

The cottages are excellently equipped and finished to a very high standard, comprising three en-suite bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge with fireplace & under-floor heating. There is also a verandah with gas braai. The views of the mountains from... More

My wife and I first visited this hotel at least 20 years ago. It is situated in a unique part of South Africa, with breathtaking views of the Drakensberg Mountains - and easy access to Battlefields of the Anglo/Boer War. It can be a relaxed "away from it all" kind of stay, or an energetic exploration of mountain walks, or... More

Again a superb weekend with trails that will take your breath away. The food at the hotel is amazing and even though some rooms are a bit outdated and the building may need a bit of upgrades the place is amazing and close to great trails. The main trail is not closed due to the amount of vegetation but sphinx... More
