The rooms were very nice and clean. The beds were excellent and so were the pillows. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was brilliant. We also had dinner and that was lovely. Our main reason for staying over was to play golf and a halfway house on route to Umhlanga

Our recent family getaway to the breathtaking Drakensberg Sun Resort in South Africa was an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst the majestic Drakensberg mountains, the resort offered stunning views, serene landscapes, and a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We spent our days exploring scenic hiking trails, enjoying the tranquility of the lake, and indulging in the resort’s delightful cuisine. The kids loved the recreational activities, while the adults appreciated the peace and connection with nature. Evenings were spent bonding over board games and sharing laughter around the cozy fireplace.

    The location for the cottages was amazing. The view is breathtaking. Comfy beds. Tasty food. We brought our own Braai materials for one night and also sampled their in house prepared breakfast, all excellent. Braai facilities are great and kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Great activities including swimming in a pool with one of the best vistas you could hope for worldwide. We also enjoyed horseback riding. Only a 25 min drive to Royal Natal Park where is was easy to do an afternoon hike to the Cascades and back. Just an outstanding stay :)

    We've been coming to Champagne Valley for many years from when my children were small. Now we visit with their own children. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the view of the mountains is spectacular. However, a word of caution, the roads are in a terrible state, so driving a 4x4 is helpful.

    We had such a lovely time, from the accommodation, the staff, the food and surroundings were great. The only problem we had was that our shower was leaking in the bathroom, and the whole bathroom was under water. but the staff moved us to another room, the shower did not leak, but all the tiles was loose in this bathroom as well. Just think the bathrooms needs some maintenance

    There are several resorts and a number of smaller accommodations in this picturesque valley, a hotspot for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. It is close to the famous Sani Pass, where 4X4 enthusiasts can ascend one of the highest and most scenic trails in Southern Africa. The town has charming shops and eateries, and many of the resorts offer a host of activities, restaurants and outdoor adventure options.

    I love the resort. Have been holidaying for over 15 years. But the Front Office Manager with her Reception Staff do need training in Hospitality, extremely rude, unhelpful and no Guest Service centricity, this makes the stay distasteful and dampens your initial experience. The security Guard at the entrance was more pleasant and welcoming.

    The various accommodation options make it perfect for couples and families. Huge grounds allow you to get away for some peace and quiet if you want, but we did not feel overwhelmed by people and the place was full. You can either go and feed carrots to the horses or take a short drive to one of the many attractions in the area.
