Lake Naverone is situated in idyllic surroundings - tranquil, restful and picturesque. The chalets are comfortable and well- appointed although we would have liked electric blankets on the beds and heated towel rails in the bathrooms. The oil heaters in the bedrooms are not quite adequate to heat the rooms. The fireplace in the lounge is welcoming and the wood... More

Second time staying and again an amazing experience. Picturesque views, great accomodation - equiped with a fireplace for those cold winter nights - a wonderful place to get away and just.. slow down. Friendly service, very well kept grounds.. both thumbs up!

Lake Naverone is awesome. We stayed in Cottage nr 6 and 7 (we were a group of people- friends, family etc) The mornings and nights were chilly but the days were very hot. It was unexpected as we packed for winter but was surprised with really good weather. Everything you need are in the cottages (blankets, utensils, place mats and... More

Have you ever heard a resort manager tell you to "Bugger Off" even though you booking lasts for two more days. That's the exact service I received from this terrible bunch of fools, who may have nice , good looking rooms but cannot cater for those who want to stay. Really disappointed, never heard someone working at a resort swear... More

High in the Midlands above Durban, Lake Naverone sits nestled in amongst the gigantic and stunning Drakensberg Mountains. We were extremely lucky with the weather! We stayed for 2 nights and the weather was perfect. On the day we left the clouds and rain and mist and snow( up Sani Pass heights)came down!! There are many cottages with varying capacity... More

My son and his family came over for a visit from Australia and decided to book a week for the family at Lake Naverone. What a beautiful place!!! Stunning views from everywhere and we were even treated to some snow on the mountains. Difficult decision in the mornings and evenings to do fly fishing or to take photos. This is... More

We spent one night at Lake Naverone in January 2013 after a week at another establishment in the area. It is in a really gorgeous part of the Southern Drakensburg with amazing views of the Garden Castle part of the mountain range. The lake on which the resort is built, is beautiful and is an ideal place to paddle around,... More

We are very sorry to hear that you were not completely happy staying one night in our Flufftail cottage. The only one night stay we had in January due to a delayed arrival. After reading your review we went into the cottage and the only prominent smell was the distinct aroma of the thatch. Flufftail cottage is popular in summer... More

Being in desperate need of some relaxation time away from everyday life, my husband and I chose Lake Naverone for its remote location and the promise of some peace and quiet. All we wanted were lazy mornings, fishing on the lake, and to relax in the cottage with a bottle of wine at night. The setting is stunning, but the... More

Thank you very much for your review. We do our best to prepare guests to bring warm items of clothing, including slippers in winter as it does get very cold here and people from the coast, not being use to it, really feel the cold. Our cleaning staff are there to assist you and fit in with your schedule as... More
