Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 280 reviews
The Drakensberg Boys Choir School is one of the few South African Schools whose fame extends around the world. This school offers a unique educational opportunity for boys; it stimulates their spirit of adventure and exploration in our beautiful surroundings, while nurturing the development of the mind and expression in innate musical talent. Set on a 100Ha estate, the school draws its inspiration from the majestic Drakensberg Mountains, a World Heritage Site in KwaZulu-Natal, and is filled with the sound of boys singing, surely one of the purest of musical delights in the world. Don't miss our popular Wednesday concerts at 15h30, every Wednesday during term time!

What an entertaining & thought provoking time was spent at the Drakensberg boys choir today. The first half was beautiful, a wonderful blend of traditional classical choral music with a touch of Africa - from Bach’s Gloria to Dr Seuss’s Mr Grinch The second half entitled Lalela Zulu - celebrating 25 years of freedom was non stop energy singing and a powerful message - we must honour the South African past and what we have overcome as a nation and move forward together - learning from the people abuses of the past and not losing strength for the right actions going forward. Thank you for this brave and thought provoking presentation in the singing, the energy and the slide show presentations. This is worth traveling long distances to attend.
2. The Himeville Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
The Himeville Museum and Fort is both a historical site (the old fort, and prison) as well as a well-kept local history museum. , Each of the rooms is either a room in the house, representing the era, or it is dedicated to the life and times of the area: the prison, the telephone exchange, the school: the farming implements of the time. What makes this museum different is that it also represents the varieites of communities in the area: from the original inhabitants, the first people of South Africa, the Khoi/San with local caves able to be visited to see their representations there, through to the settlers and other people of the wider area, to the fauna and flora, clothing and the kitchens of the day: Open garden courtyard in the middle of the fort, shaded, and a bench to rest on - this is a representative and diverse museum that has something of interest to everyone, young and old, local and from all over the globe.

On a rather wet April afternoon we took the advice of a Tripadvisor recommendation and paid this place a visit. Pleasantly surprised at the sheer range of exhibits and the very helpful set up which apportioned the various themes in an orderly way. Staff were very helpful and despite arriving near closing time for the day we were welcomed and allowed to stay beyond the time. No charge for entry with donation box at the end. Well worth a visit if you have a spare hour or 2 available.

Easy to find and parking outside next to the school. Security on view, its good to donate to cover a small suggested fee, two floors of history to explore. Friendly volunteer, interesting place and visit the garden area which houses a few gems especially the old vehicle.

After visiting the Cathedral Peak area, we headed for the wine estate where we had phoned the previous day to ensure an afternoon slot. Friendly welcome, informative introduction and a history of this beautiful estate. Large food platter was ordered, wines chosen(R10 per wine), we sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, the interesting relaxed wine talk and many very good wines, mostly Rose and reds were enjoyed. All shared with an excellent food platter, this was the decadence that is part of our calling- delightful experience. Wines purchased and we headed back to our accommodation at Winterton Country Lodge. Good to meet a fellow Stormers fan...
