It’s incredibly beautiful
Dining hall needs an upgrade. Looks a bit sad. Some activities for teens would be welcomed.
The parking need to be improved
The parking is too far. You neeg to get Golf cat to transport people from parking to reception
Very lovely nature. Excellent hiking possibilities. Buffet style restaurant.
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
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Gym was outdated and dining hall furniture.
Quiet rooms Various hikes from the hotel into the Drakensberg Great service
Golf course is in poor condition
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.
Spacious Lots of activities Staff engaged well even changing serviette folds at our dining table
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.
Wonderful surroundings . Great food and staff. My 10th visit and never disappoints
Very comfortable stay. Staff were very friendly & helpful & the food delicious.
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.
Perfect location, at the mercy of the weather. Beautiful rooms and very clean. Staff are very welcoming, accommodating and courteous.
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.
Great location very clean with lovely staff and lots of facilities - nice traditional feel.
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
Fabulous location. Excellent service
The weather could have been better. But we enjoyed the facilities in the hotel.
Tranquility, beautiful mountains, service at pool was unexpected.. friendly staff
The room was old needs TLC.. big issue with mattress other than that, we had a wonderful stay
Location and beautiful environment
Property is tired and in such an amazing location the room had no view
Incredible setting; quick access to a myriad of trails; great variety of foods at all meals; congenial staff; reasonably priced considering full board
