Reviews

• "Beautiful Views and serenity"

  04 January 2022

  "The place is beautiful and the view out of this world,Received a warm welcome from security ,cant say the same for receptionist."

• "In dire need of maintenance"

  07 January 2021

  "This cute little hotel is in desperate need of some tender love and care. The "modern" rooms are comfortable but not well looked after. The curtains were dirty, the patio light was not working. There was no way to complain about the malfunctioning TV remote since no person was to be found in the reception during the early evening although it was meant to be open until 22h00. The carpark in front of the rooms is unpaved and VERY muddy during rainy season. Not nice having to take off your shoes before stepping into your room in order to avoid the carpet being fully covered in mud."

• "A great little hotel"

  27 March 2017

  "We stayed here because it was close to the Spionkok Battlefield and the Royal Natal Park. Hospitality,meals and service was great. The only problem we had was finding the hotel from the directions given on the website. The roadside signing and directions supplied needs to be improved.Access road may be difficult in wet weather."

• "Tranquillity"

  06 March 2017

  "The mountain and nature view from our Balcony. The reception and assistance from the staff. Wow our stay was very comfortable especially The room that has so much space to move around including the choice in their bathroom (shower & bath tub). We had a wonderful stay."

• "Generally well responsive staff"

  12 January 2016

  "staff was well responsive in making our stay fine. They were able to quickly attend to an issue as well. Just a little more attention to detai, I feel is needed in ensuring that the rooms are properly cleaned. Otherwise...Thanks for everything."

• "Superb Staff"

  17 June 2015

  "Accommodation was adequate with all in working order. Dinner was not the best, but this can be expected when ordering from a set menu at an establishment that does not have huge numbers coming through the doors. Breakfast was good and freshly prepared with a good continental spread.<div><br /></div><div>The Sandford Park is blessed with exceptional staff, friendly, efficient and always ready to go the extra mile!</div>"

• "Relaxation"

  29 December 2010

  "It was a splendid vacation. A destination that was filled with warmth and understanding. It is central to tourist attractions. A definite return. I believe though that the rooms can be uplifted a bit. You could also have organized tours for guests. The food was great, especially at Christmas. The family had a great time. Thank you"

  20 October 2008

  "We arrived early, on our way back from Cape Town, with the intention of spending the day and night, resting, before continuing home. Unfortunately my girl friend wasn't feeling well and wanted to just get home, so we cut our stay short and left in the early afternoon. We will certainly be back."

  "Rooms are nicely done and very comfortable.The staff was very friendly and attentive.The location is good for access to the northern drakensberg. The road leading to the hotel was so thick with mud that we almost got stuck.The food reminded me of my college cafeteria--generally bland and unappealing."

  08 January 2007

  "This was our first visit to the Drakensberg. I was very impressed with the friendly staff at Sandford Park.The food was great and we enjoyed every meal.

• "Christmas 2006"

  02 January 2007

  "We had a lovely quiet, relaxing 4 days at Sandford.The staff were excellent in every way possible from our arrival, when our room got partially flooded and assisting in finding a missing piece of clothing, we could not have asked for better, more friendly staff.The old section is mostly well cared for but we felt that the lounge area was in need of a good spruice up e.g. spit, polish and shampoo.Also the towels could do with being renewed but apart from that everything was great, the food was excellent and we would certainly recommend our friends to pay Sandford a visit."

Perhaps the dinner menu was a little limited but that did not affect our enjoyment.Excellent meusli for breakfast but disappointed that the swimming pool was out of action for 24hrs and after that very murky."

  29 June 2005

  "The location, grounds and scenery are magnificent but I wonder if this hotel should be open in winter. When we arrived our room was freezing and we had to request an additional heater. Equally the dining room was cold, particularly in the mornings, and guests were having to wear outdoor clothes to eat their meals. The service was very good but choice of evening meals was very limited."
