Little Switzerland advertises itself as a luxury 5 star apartment in the heart of Drakensberg, however, it is at best a 3 star. Rooms are old are mostly dirty. The bathroom was dull and smelly. The lounge area is small and families will struggle to get everyone in to relax near the fire and watch a movie. The views and... More

The best resort in the berg by far! This place has something for everyone. The service is always great (my family & I have spent 5 Christmas holiday's there) & the food delicious. We have always enjoyed ourselves. They put on the most spectacular New Year's Eve party every year with fireworks & live entertainment & even yummier food!

I took my family from Australia to this hotel for 2 nights. The service was oustanding and the food and setting both excellent. My nephew left his iPhone in the room and we only discovered this when the hotel phoned us after we had left - I thought this was outstanding. My only gripe is that the facilities could do... More

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days went on the most beautiful walking trails and relax with a full body massage in the late afternoon. Apart from the beautiful scenery the trail was so mind relaxing we came back home refreshed and ready for the rest of the year.

We had a lovely family getaway at little switzerland lots to do in the area and the chalets were in superb setting. Restaurant staff especially philemon were really welcoming. Well equipped units and the gym and spa were a super addition to relax and unwind. Kids enjoyed the tennis and puttputt and the tame zebras.

Location can't be beaten but that is all this hotel is selling. Room rate not justified by poor standard of room facilities. Booked deluxe room which has a great view but bad bathroom and worn out furniture. We were refused a heater initially although we had an infant in the room - were told the under-floor heating should be adequate... More

Location offers great views, good hikes and is easy to get to. The staff were friendly and very helpful. However I am very gald we took the self-catering option becuase the food in the restuarant was beyond awful - it was vile. We were so shocked by how bad the food was on our first visit to the resturant that... More

We found ourselves stranded in South Africa due to the Ash Cloud (grounding all flights back to Europe) and came across Little Switzerland on our quest for somewhere to sleep for that night - we ended up staying for the whole week. There's lots to do, some great local walks and the views are stunning. Staff are really friendly and... More

We stayed in the time-share apartments. First the location and views are truly spectacular - breakfast sat outside taking in the view of the Drakensburg was a real treat. The chalet was well equipped and clean but the decor needed an upgrade - very 1980s. We ate at the hotel which was OK and generally the service was friendly and... More
