The Loft
The Loft is a comfortable and charming renovated Victorian building near the ski slopes of Tiffindell. It is set snugly in the town of Barkly East in the alpine region of the Witteberg Mountains, Southern Drakensburg. This lovely house is the perfect place to stay when exploring this magnificent area.
The house has one delightful double bedroom with queen-bed; one comfortable twin bedroom,. A kitchen is available for guests. Barkly East is one of the few places in South Africa that experiences annual snowfalls. All the bedrooms are heated, and the house is north-facing, so it remains cosy in the chilly, snowy winters.
Choose to go on day drives to explore the many caves of San Rock Art in the vicinity, or go horse-back riding in the mountains. Perhaps a day on the ski slopes at Tiffindell takes your fancy, or a day lazing on the river with a picnic basket filled with scrumptious goodies. The birdlife is prolific, and the trout still take the bait. The alpine flowers are just beautiful, and you might spot a shooting star in the breath-taking night-sky. Meals available on request.

"Warm, welcoming stay."
25 September 2018"We arrived 6:30pm, the heater in my room was on which immediately gave me a warm welcoming feeling! Sylvia welcomed us. The cottage is wel equiped, with enough warm water to allow two people to take a bath after each other."

"Not the best place to stay"

"the hayloft Barkly East"
06 April 2013"It was not a good experience, the place was not very clean, no info regarding places to eat, and seeing that it was a long weekend, and coming from gauteng, we were stranded with no food and no places to go, we were not informed about this situation and that we needed to bring everything with. There was not enough coffee tea or milk or creamer, the frige was still dirty and the left over milk sour. Over all we would not recommend this place to any one. We were there like 2 minutes and we were asked about the rest of the money but the lady did not care about our distress. We were then told about the open cafe which we then used to stockup"
