We attended a conference here and were very well cared for. The scenery is beautiful and there are lots of nature hikes/activities nearby. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to help. The food (choices from a daily menu) was excellent with a wide variety and the waiters definitely wanted to please. We enjoyed the common rooms... More

Travelling with my family which included 3 Grand children, means that if you find a place where the kids are kept entertained then " all goes well". This place has lots for children, and they can be kept busy from dawn to dusk. I am not normally a fan of buffet meals, but this place has it organised so that... More

I did not stay at this hotel, we only stopped for lunch, but the view was breathtaking. We ate lunch outside looking at low clouds. The view around hotel was unbelievable, you need to experience for yourself words can't describe the view.

The perfect location if you want to make some walks at the Drakensbergen (several trails start in the area) or if you just want to realax at a swimmingpool and enjoy the views. Rooms are nice, not to big, but enough space for suitcases ect. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are good, if you are not around during lunch it is... More

We heard much about this place, so we were a bit disappointed with some of the facilities. No air conditioning nor ceiling fan - good thing the weather was rather overcast and mild. Bath-shower far too small – I really, really don’t like a plastic curtain hugging me while I am trying to wash and rinse. Lunch was not exciting,... More

This quaint hotel is in need of a touch up. The rooms were not clean and was definitely not worth the money. Must have been amazing in its day! The duvets were stained as were the basin. The venue has so much potential but has not been maintained. It's well positioned close to champagne sports.

While we were in the Jo'burg area, we wanted to see the Drakensberg mountains.We had only 2 nights available, but the trip was well worth it. It is out of the way, in a quiet, peaceful area. The resort provides all meals, tasty and abundant. Sitting on the patio at night and watching the brilliance of the stars or sitting... More
