"The views were perfect"

23 June 2018

"The owner accused me of theft and leaving the place in a bad condition he also stated that I arrived with more than the number of quests that I paid for. He also stated that I arrived at 11:30am and demanded pots etc from the cleaning staff.All the above is incorrect and I have some pics to prove as well. WE ARE VERY DISSAPOINTED AND WILL NEVER USE THIS ACCOMMODATION AGAIN"
"A genuine home away from home in a beautiful stoned cottage"

21 August 2017

"My family and I had an unbelievable experience in this beautiful stoned cottage. The entire cottage is exceptionally well furnished, clean and perfect for a family getaway. The views are incredible and with the use of the Drakensberg Sun facilities it made for a perfect week away. I liked the fact that everything that one wants to do in the central Drakensberg is so close to this perfectly positioned cottage. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone that is interested in visiting the beautiful South African Drakensberg mountains."

"Beautiful House in the Berg"

11 January 2017

"We stayed at Drakensberg House for three nights over December and loved every minute. The house is very big and cosy, there is enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. Two of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms are on one side of the house and the other bedroom on the opposite side of the house with en-suite bathroom...the cottage is attached to the house with bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. It was great for 3 couples, everyone had their own space. The garden is beautiful and very big, the kids loved running around and exploring and it is also very safe so they couldn't escape or wander off. Spectacular view of the Drakensberg as well. We will definitely visit again and would recommend all to visit Drakensberg House."
"A Must Stay"

13 December 2016

"I had the most unforgettable stay in Drakensburg this past weekend. Drakensberg house is an amazing home nestled within the berg. The house caters to small and even large groups. My 5 and 6 year old were more than comfortable in the spacious areas the house has. The garden and landscaping is breath taking. We filled our days with a host of activities provided close by such as horse riding, riding scooters down the mountain, air ballooning, zip lines and so much more but couldn't wait to get home to relax and unwind. I look forward to visiting Drakensberg house again perhaps in winter so that i can take advantage of the wood fire place and cosy up with the kids to good movie or finally learn to play chess."

"Fabulous Berg Weekend"

11 August 2014

"The Drakensberg House was the PERFECT place for our weekend away. The children took advantage of the hotel's sport facilities and enjoyed canoeing, tennis, squash, horse riding and table tennis. The house itself is lovely. The bedrooms beautifully decorated and quite cozy with down duvets for the chilly nights. We made good use of the fireplace too. The garden, braai area and veranda are all quite picturesque and enticing even the cool weather. We had a really lovely, relaxing stay and are sure to return."
