    The room was very spacious and well equipped with excellent views of the mountains. The food was also incredible

    The music in the dining room

    8Ade E.Posted on: 7-4-2025

    The location was great for all the different hikes, many fun activities for the family. Food was great.

    Gym was outdated and dining hall furniture.

    8AmyPosted on: 4-23-2025

    Quiet rooms Various hikes from the hotel into the Drakensberg Great service

    Golf course is in poor condition

    9KellyPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Excellent location for dramatic views and hikes in the Drakensberg. A great choice for an intergenerational or family friend holiday. The gentle buck that wonder the grounds are a lovely touch. The buffet was excellent and the staff extremely pleasant.

    I found the website misleading when it comes to the kids club and related kids activities. The kids club only runs on school holidays which was disappointing as we wanted to do some longer hikes without the children but couldn't. The activities they put on for the children over the Easter weekend also felt a little half-hearted.

    10LindaPosted on: 4-19-2025

    Spacious Lots of activities Staff engaged well even changing serviette folds at our dining table

    10MarcoPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Everything! Breathtaking views and location. There are so many activities that you have a full day, from hiking to swimming. The staff and facilities exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better breakaway. We will be back next year.

    There isn't anything.

    10CarolPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Wonderful surroundings . Great food and staff. My 10th visit and never disappoints

    9MargiePosted on: 4-5-2025

    Very comfortable stay. Staff were very friendly & helpful & the food delicious.

    9MeliPosted on: 4-4-2025

    Beautiful surroundings, wildlife, facilities, beautiful hiking trails. Great staff, Joseph and "why not" Wiseman so welcoming and attentive, actually the staff were just lovely! Travelling through a lovely local town to get there was very special to see.

    a little dated however this also adds to the charm of the hotel. a bit of a gravel road in parts to get there.

    9DavidPosted on: 3-28-2025

    Perfect location, at the mercy of the weather. Beautiful rooms and very clean. Staff are very welcoming, accommodating and courteous.

    10PheyaPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Wow, I saw beauty of nature. This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. It's amazing. Food was divine. My room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was friendly. I had a fantastic stay. I will definitely come back.

    9GrahamPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Great location very clean with lovely staff and lots of facilities - nice traditional feel.

    9JzelPosted on: 3-20-2025

    Food, room was amazing, views, hike to the falls, service was top notch. There was also things to do in the resort like pool tables etc.

    There's nothing really that I did not like. I think their public toilets could be cleaner. Oh and the parking is quite far, so have an umbrella for rainy days

    10PhilipPosted on: 3-19-2025

    Fabulous location. Excellent service

    The weather could have been better. But we enjoyed the facilities in the hotel.
