    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 :)

There are activities available for all ages and all interests. The restaurant has a good menu and the food and service are excellent. We highly recommend Alpine Heath.

    Amanzimtoti is a gem on the KwaZulu-Natal coast—perfect for anyone looking to unwind while still having access to plenty of things to do. The beaches are absolutely beautiful: clean, family-friendly, and great for swimming or just relaxing. Watching the sunrise over the ocean is a must! There’s a good mix of restaurants, local shops, and malls nearby, making it easy to find what you need without traveling far. The area feels safe and has a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere. It’s also a convenient base for exploring Durban and surrounding areas, while still enjoying a quieter, more relaxed setting. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or solo, Amanzimtoti has something to offer. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a peaceful seaside break with a local touch.

    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 enjoyed exploring the town and the beach.

    We enjoyed exploring the town and the beach. The cottage was just right for us but the narrow stairs were challenging. We used the upstairs 'verandah ' to make the most of the Seaview and the braai. Favorite place was the restaurant in the caravan park; ideal for breakfast and watching the whales. The take away fish and chips from the Corner Fish and Chips was the best value for money. Next time I will avoid staircases.

    Kokstad has become a little run down since I was there in the early 1990''s but there seems to be a concerted effort in reviving the local industry. I was a little sceptical in finding car parking on the main streets but the new mall areas had lots of parking avaliable that seemed safer. There were also car guards avalaible - many of whom begged for food in addtion to a monetary tip. The surrounding area of Kokstad is still as beautful and scenic as I remember and typical of a South African mountain town.
