We loved everything. The lodge was so clean and had all the things we needed. The kitchen was very well equiped . The view at the terrace and the balcony was stunning. We also have to admit that the food in the restaurant was DELICIOUS (especially lamb chops and red velvet). We tried some activities like the kart, massage and some of the surroundings hike and everything was nice. The most important, the staff was lovely ! We have an incredible stay thanks !

Really friendly, exceeded expectations. Was asked if I wanted eggs for breakfast, received eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoe, toast, plus there were cereals, fruit, yogurt and more. This is a great find.

Great find. Family backpacker unit. Had a small kitchen space for basic food prep. Bar is a great place to socialize, play pool, climb a wall or even have a Jacuzzi. Food is also available to purchase. Kids enjoyed the resident cats floating around too.

Wonderful place for a medium- to long-term getaway! Friendly reception, very clean and comfy accommodation with all amenities including a double(!) shower. Stunning view (if it isn't too hazy ;) and the ponies come up in the morning for a pat (and if you are not careful, to nibble on the things on your breakfast table...) We went for the breakfast and dinner option, which was delivered to the doorstep hot and on time, with a lot of love and attention going into the tasty food and its presentation.

I had a wonderful stay - loved every detail: the superb location, the place with its long history, the commitment of the staff, the food (phenomenal !!), my room, and the intermediate level walks that I joined in. Moneywise it may not be a bargain - but it's worth it - really. I think that's my first (or second?) 10 point rating ever - I can't find nothing at all to complain about. Okay... maybe except for the weather which can - as we all know - be quite changeable in the mountains. If it rains, just snuggle up in one of the lounges and have a good read with you.

The property is in a remote part if the Northern Drakensberg. A place of exceptional beauty. It is intimate and feels like a well run family business. Service and meals and staff were excellent. Definitely a bucket list addition No internet -Awesome

    Your go carts were broken.

    Your go carts were broken. Only one was working and we couldn't race each other. No activities were taking place. No pony rides for small kids. No electric blankets Wood was super expensive. You only had facilities operating at a particular time zipline, go cart and horse riding. This should be open throughout the day. Your shop is far away at the entrance. Anytime we needed anything we had to drive. Shop should be near reception. No shower in the main bedroom. Absolutely inconvenient. I will never recommend this place to anyone. It's deteriorating with their facilities. My toilet was not cleaned during my stay. My room bin was not emptied. Very bad value for money. Will write a review on hello peter

    The scenery is just magnificent, the drive to the resort is short from JHB and very scenic, the roads are good and safe. Little Switzerland lends itself to a relaxing vibe from the minute that you drive off the main road into the resort.

    We really liked the fact that the staff was mostly friendly and accommodating. The chef managed to accommodate our specific dietary requirements on short notice and the result was really good. They had fires going in the living area and lit the fire in the restaurant even though we were the only people there at that time.

    The room's view of the mountains was excellent. Food was so good. Drinks were pricey, and dartboards needs to be replaced. But that's literally the only negative I can give the resort. It's really a lovely place and remember to ask for a room with a view!
