De Berg Guesthouse

De Berg Guesthouse is situated in Matatiele, in the shadow of the Drakensberg. We were established in 2005 by the Pieterse family who still manage the place. Because our guests are important to us, we offer friendly service, clean and spacious rooms and delicious meals.

Our town is also called "Sweet Matat" by the locals and it lies on the R56 which is the shortest and most scenic route between the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the Cape. There are three border posts into Lesotho which are between 40 and 60 km from Matatiele. The Mountain Lake Reserve forms part of Matatiele and is host to the rare rudd's lark.

    "This was an excellent stay for one night - the room was spacious and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the hostess attentive without being in one's face. It was clean with good linen. The delicious supper of lamb shank vegetables, salad and dessert was memorable. I would use this BB again. <br />"

    "While it may be a clich, "home away from home" is the best description possible of our stay at De Berg Guest House!A warm welcome, followed by a wonderful, generous homemade dinner, was a great start. The bathrooms were great and the beds very comfortable.Breakfast the following morning was very generous (we had the continental breakfast) and we left De Berg Guest House well rested and very pleased with our choice of accommodation.Thank you Pieterse family for a wonderful stay!"

  • "De Berg"

    09 May 2013

    "An eventful evening that Friday 26/04/13. A flat motorcycle tyre near Mt Fletcher,limped slowly to Matatiele at 8.00 pm with a public holiday next day. All repair shops closed and a long journey still ahead, the owners of De Berg DB@B, Annelie and Jaco Pieterse sprang to our rescue. Going beyond the extra mile, Jaco managed with his mechanical background to be instrumental in repairing that rear tyre. What relief,difficult to describe my jubilation At being on the road again! Baie dankie julle! And the rest of our stay was great; although we arrived very late our supper was delicious and so welcome. The room was spacious and airy. The shower enveloped our weary bodies in nice hot water. The TV was adequate but we were rather tired. Rusks for breakfast was all we needed to continue our journey. Thank you both so much. Regards, Brian McCusker."

  • "Wow! Three c's"

    "Wow! Three c's: Cosy, Comfortable, Complete."

  • "Overnight stay"

    20 December 2012

    "Very well fitted out room ideal for self-catering. If a couple of easy chairs could have been fitted into the room, that would have made it more comfortable. Lashings of hot water and a very comfortable bed. I think that it should be made clearer on the quotes that meals are available but they have to be pre-requested."
