Beautiful setting, great wait staff, ask for Wizeman, he was a delightful and accommodating waiter. And funny too ! Phindile gave the BEST hot stone massage I’ve ever had. Felt very pampered at this resort. Great folks.

Drakensberg Sun Resort

The Drakensberg is one of South Africa’s most acclaimed tourist destinations and it is little wonder why. Set in the breathtaking Cathkin Peak area of the Drakensberg Mountains, the Drakensberg Sun not only offers guests panoramic views of the region but some of the best resort facilities and amenities imaginable. If you’re interested in visiting the Drakensberg during your next holiday, the Drakensberg Sun resort is the accommodation offering for you.

Disappointed

Reviewed By JoliH15

The hotel would be really beautiful in a wonderful natural setting, directly with its own lake and golf course at the foot of an imposing mountain massif. Unfortunately, the hotel is very outdated. The furnishings are outdated, the restaurant and the rooms without any charm. It's a pity, when you know other Sun Hotels in South Africa, you expect a lot more. The staff was nice, but not more.

Family stopover

Reviewed By Cruiser60616845906

We stayed here on a trip to Durban to break up the journey with our young kids. The host was so friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you need for a stopover. The play area was great for our son. The view was lovely too

Would recommend without a doubt

Reviewed By StacyJanelle

This is definitely one of the best accommodations I have been to to date. Not only did it have everything we needed in terms of self-catering, and had unbelievable views, but the host, Julian, is so accommodating with anything and everything. He will go the extra mile to give you advice on the area and make sure that you feel welcome and have a great trip.

A gem in Drakensberg

Reviewed By maxamill0ye

An awesome place to have a base in central Drakensberg. The staff are second to none and make you feel part of the family. The living quarters are clean, well equipped and homely. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge/ freezer, stove and microwave oven. Bathrooms are clean with good water temp and pressure. Clean towels and shower gel is provided. Comfy beds with normal and electric blankets if needed. There is a lounge and dining area. A well kept garden that provides amazing views, a safe place for kids to play and the family to relax and enjoy a braai/ bbq. Remember to take your own charcoal, meat and marshmallows. Breakfast is optional but I would recommend paying the fair price for a home cooked scrumptious breakfast that will set you up for the day. There are lots of places to visit and things to do but you will need transport to get to them. Hiking, horse riding, quad bikes, helicopter rides, climbing, trips to the chocolate factory, great afternoon tea at the Valley bakery, etc. Great morning jog recommend by John with a view of the Bell Park dam. Wish I had arranged a longer trip to enjoy the relaxing, tranquil views with my family. A true home away from home. Rose you are a gem! ???????

Great host , unique stay , TLC Needed

Reviewed By Relax44888252696

We stayed at the cave Great host , Area is good , design is unique and amazing . The cave does need extra care , the owners should make sure everything is sorted before booking it . Leaks during rain Toilet leaks and unstable Broken window by the bed Broken braai stand All of the above could be fixed before booking the place out , if everything was sorted this would have been the perfect experience

The Nest

A relaxing getaway

Reviewed By Candycam1

We enjoyed 4 wonderful nights at the Nest. The food was exceptional and the perfect amount for every meal. The staff went out of their way to accommodate an early dinner for us as we were going out to watch the Choir one evening. They also came to our rescue when I locked my keys in the car. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. It is truly a treasure that has held on to all things good from the past. Sometimes we need to remember that life does not always need to be ahead of the times, to return to the past will bring the peace and relaxation that a true holiday should.
