  30 July 2019

  "Stunning views from the chalets"

• "The peace, views & food are out of this world"

  20 March 2018

  "What a stunning location, we stayed in the honeymoon suite which had breathtaking views of the amphitheatre and horses and zebra that live on the property. We didn't feel the need to leave Little Switzerland to further explore the area as everything we needed was at our fingertips. The chef is really talented, everything from seafood to salads to steak to pasta & vegetables were deliciously cooked"

• "Incredible views, incredible walks"

  23 October 2017

  "Our chalet was neat and very clean. The cleaning lady was very efficient. The restaurant is above average, and the garden immaculate. All staff members that we encountered were friendly and helpful. In terms of fittings and furniture the chalets are somewhat inferior to those found at most other resorts in the area. The chalets need an interior revamp."

• "Christmas in July dinner"

  11 July 2017

  "We had an awesome stay at Little Switzerland. The staff went out of their way at every turn to make sure everything operated smoothly. The chef should be commended as dinner and lunch was amazing. We did breakfast and one evening braai in our chalet and the kitchen was very well equipped. The unit was serviced efficiently and spotlessly cleaned. And lastly all the activities we booked for our children was presented perfectly and exactly on time. We will definitely be returning in future."

• "The beauty of Sterk fontein Dam"

  05 July 2017

  "Enjoyed the stay. Accommodation was comfortable, clean and cosy. However, don't like the idea of paying for wood. Many other places in the berg provide wood without charge. Becomes restricting to enjoy the cosiness fully. Otherwise certainly would recommend to friends and family."

• "Great facilities"

  12 January 2017

  "Although the accommodation dcor was dated, the space in the self catering chalet was ample. The location and activities also make up for any negative experiences. I would love to return to the Drakensberg again."

  01 August 2016

• "A little disappointing"

  08 July 2016

  "The hotel needs further upgrades if it wants to charge the costs it is currently.<div>We were disappointed as it did not match up to the hotel we stayed in the previous year in the berg -which costs a similar amount and has the same rating.</div><div>The buffet is less than varied. The bar area is shoddy. The spa was shocking and the therapist was a misery. The rooms are cold. The kids area is dismal and my children did not want to spend any time there.</div><div>It's missing all the little things that make it a quality hotel for the money you are paying.</div><div>It is adequate.... if you want adequate for R3000 a night!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>"

• "Alpine Comfort"

  26 March 2016

  "<div>Beautiful views, comfortable accommodation and friendly staff made for a very relaxing break.</div>"

• "Beautiful views, lovely staff and a unforgettable experience"

  09 October 2015

  "This is a lovely place in the Drakensberge on the border of KZN and Freestate. It has some stunning views and friendly staff. <br /><br />I got engaged at Little Switzerland on the passed weekend. The staff went above and beyond to make this event a special an unforgettable one. It was a lovely experience.<br /><br />I would recommend Little Switzerland anyone that wants a lovely weekend away. With just 3 and a half hours trip away from Johannesburg it is just close enough to have a lovely weekend away without spending too much time on the the road.<br />"

• "Relaxing family get-away"

  07 October 2015

  "<p>We enjoyed a very relaxing family get-away at Little Switzerland for a couple of days. Excellent service, clean and comfortable self-catering accommodation and amenities in and around the hotel are well maintained. </p><p>We were a little concerned about the health of the horses at the hotel - they seem to be malnourished (one in particular had protruding hipbones and clearly visible ribcage) and neglected. I do hope someone is concerning themselves with the welfare of these animals.</p><p>Apart from that, a wonderful stay. The restaurant serves excellent buffet meals, the kids are entertained all day long and the staff are friendly and accommodating all 'round. </p><p>We will surely be back.</p>"

• "Great Value"

  21 July 2014

  "We were in transit and spent one night at Little Switzerland. Staff were were friendly and helpful. The chalets were nice, neat and warm. Great value for money. The restaurant at the main gate was a huge surprise. We expected toasted treats, but instead we got the best meal of our holiday. I believe the chef was on Masterchef SA. That explains it. Superb grub!Thanks for a lovely night."

• "Not great"

  16 October 2013

  "After seeing the Hotel after 8 years I think it is run down and the price too expensive for the state the resort is in. Room inside is fine but main restaurant not running and paying for bed and breakfast you expect a buffet!"

• "Excellent"

  01 January 2013

  "Excellent view."

• "Paying attention to guest needs"

  26 December 2012

  "We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent at Little Switzerland. We were there on a family holiday and were so impressed by the number of staff at the resort who seemed determined to do what they could to ensure that we had a great time. I can see how that would translate into excellent service of corporate clients. The time in this beautiful and professionally managed resort was well worth travelling over the short stretch of poor road over the Oliviershoek Pass. Taken slowly it posed no threat."

  10 July 2012

  "Enjoyed our stay. We were not informed that the gym burnt down and only found out through the newspaper that hotel closed. It is a pity that is so expensive and does not advertise some specials. Nice place but they will have to jack up for me to go back."

We really can recommend Little Switzerland and will definitely come back!"

Great place for a relaxing getaway....Well done to all the staff..."

  "Little Switzerland is a beautifully situated resort with excellent facilities for all. Pony rides were a hit with the kids. Staff could be more friendly but I suppose such a large resort will inevitably be slightly impersonal."

  22 March 2007

  "We enjoyed the weekend very much. It was a pity we did not see any snow but maybe next time. The only negative comment that I can make is that the health centre prices is a bit high, what I could suggest is that in winter time maybe they can make the charges cheaper. Otherwise that place is awesome. Well done!!!!!!!!"
