Rooms fine. Food outstanding. Very friendly staff. More

We recently spent three nights at CML ( 5th - 7th March 2012 ) and cannot recommend it enough. The friendliness and care of the staff was fantastic. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The place is a " foodie " heaven with very high quality fine dining every evening with very interesting and delicious dishes. Beautiful location adjacent... More

A lovely hideaway off the beaten track in the Drakensberg. The accommodation is good but could be updated but you don't go here for the rooms. Its the food that is exceptional with the owner being an exceptional chef giving a detailed introduction to each evening meal. There are also a number of very good walks to work off some... More

I have been into the Drakensberg mountains several times. Normally its for hiking or birding. This time is was for food. Before the food though; Stunning location looking up onto Highmoor Nature Reserve. Gardens and grounds beautifully kept.

Spent 2 nights at the superb , friendly farmhouse/lodge in the heart of the Drakensberg with stunning views and set in a green valley. Very welcoming staff and management. We were warned about the gastronomic nature of Cleopatra and it certainly delivered with a 5 course marathon each evening - delicious menus with the emphasis on flavours rather than weight... More

This place has a wonderful location in the Drakensberg and a reputation for unbelievable food. In reality the location is superb and the food outstanding in part, but not in whole. We booked for three nights and felt that two would have been better. We paid the extra bucks for a cottage (ours was number 10 with a Scandinavian theme... More

I promised myself I would not write another review on my spectacular S.A. holiday but here goes another one. My Husband and I with two friends stayed at Cleopatra Farmhouse on one of our stops across S.A. Once again we found the hospitality and food second to none. Yes the breakfast was served differently to the normal bacon and eggs,... More

Did an overnight stop here on a dinner-bed-breakfast booking with my wife. Met with welcoming drinks by hotel staff as we parked. Were escorted to room to settle in and relax before supper. Everyone very friendly and helpful. At predinner drinks a 5 course fixed menu (fine dining) was explained in detail before we went through to the dining room.... More
