This was a perfect place for couples and Families.The picturesque scenery made is so dreamy and breath-taking. There was lots of animals and lots of activities and facilities to keep the kiddies entertained throughout the day. The house had a fire place and the beds were so comfortable,really a home away from home.The best part of this place is the peace and tranquilty it brings you. We were given a later check out upon request,this really made our trip as we did not have to wake up so early to leave.Thank you mountain splendor !

The Drakensberg is and always will be an amazing holiday venue. Lots to do and plenty of places to eat. Scrumpy Jacks is overrated and I would skip this venue and rather go to The Valley Bakery for either a breakfast, lunch or snack - freshly baked and good value for money. The Dragons restaurant at Dragons Peak was our best meal of the trip and the menu is varied and well priced. Lots of stunning hikes all around and plenty of places of interest to visit. Quad bikes, Scoot Tours, Canopy tours, Bird of Prey centre, Reptile centre, ceramic, candle & carpet weavers and the list goes on.

Such a lovely area for outdoor activities and also to just relax and refresh! Stunning hikes of varying length/difficulty - with some parts through a game reserve where you can spot giraffe, zebra, buck and a few other smaller animals. The Tugela river is really beautiful and great for swimming, tubing and kayaking. Also a decent OK Mini Mart in town for supplies and a couple of really sweet restaurants. Would definitely recommend a trip to Roots Clay Cafe for ceramic painting or just a nice meal and coffee. What a beautiful area! Will definitely be back!!

Berghaven was very central and close to the mountain, very nice restaurants in the area. We had lovely experiences at Farmers Fork, Kabbo restaurant with best burgers in town, Waffle hut and Scrumpy Jacks for cheesecake. The chocolate bar is also a nice experience.

This area of the Drakensberg Mountains truly is exceptionally beautiful. There is a lot to do for active people , as well as interesting places to visit or be spoilt at, for the rest of us. The Farmer's Fork by day and The Saleyard at night are good restaurants.

A lovely small town with lots of activities.
A lovely small town with lots of activities. It is very cold so I would recommend dressing up warm even in Summer. The roads are not well managed so allow yourself extra travel time to avoid the pot holes. I will definitely give it a second run.

Really nice getaway en route from Durban towards the Drakensburg / Johannesburg. I really liked the setting of the hotel, very much in the green. Staff is super friendly, the hotel room is fantastic with a nice bathtub, really great room, lots of thought through details, really liked it! Also, the place was super safe with a gate at the entrance (you are getting a remote control to go in and out without assistance).

An amazing rustic cottage overlooking the river. Beautiful interior, decent although basic facilities. A great place for a braai and a few bottles of wine at sunset. The perfect place to escape the outside world (no electricity, no internet) and explore the beautiful surroundings and enjoy the sounds of the wildlife. Winterton is close by (around 20 minutes or so by car) to stock up on supplies.

Self catering. Splendid view of the valley. Buck and baboons roaming freely in the estate. You couldnt get closer to the mountains without entering at Monks Cowell. Plenty of amenities within easy reach. The dam complete with hydro electric generator which doesnt detract from the rural setting. An interesting essential oil extraction plant producing oil from local herbs and trees

I loved the fact that my clothes were ironed at no charge! I have been to other hotels where you are charged a fee for ironing. This was certainly a first for us. We also enjoyed the hospitality towards my baby at the restaurant. Staff was super helpful and assisted us when needed. We loved the food, the ambience and not forgetting the activities available for the kids
