Drakenzicht Lodge is set high up on a mountain-top right on the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment, where the grasslands of the Mpumalanga Highveld meets the warm Lowveld. Just a two and a half hours' drive from OR Tambo International Airport, the lodge also enjoys uninterrupted views of the Schoemanskloof valley with its spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Drakenzicht is an ideal golf and country destination, perfect for the family weekend getaway or a stopover en-route to the Kruger National Park, Mozambique or Swaziland.
All accommodation is available on a self-catering option. Breakfast and light lunches are available in the clubhouse, dinner by prior arrangement.
Drakenzicht offers accommodation for up to 25 guests in stone-built chalets, each facing towards the mountains and valley.
Drakenzicht is situated in a malaria-free area and can be used as a central base for day excursions to the Kruger National Park, Blyde River Canyon, Graskop, Kaapsehoop, Sudwala caves and much more. Nearby activities include birding, mountain biking, swimming, star-gazing, and walking trails.
"Wonderfull and friendly owners. Enjoy the 2 days of golf alot.Very intriguing course, defnitly put yourself to the test.Accomodation cozy and awesome"
"Clean rooms, lovely clubhouse, warm staff and the owners are easy going. I fell in love with Lea and Ben, their two dogs who followed us around the golf course and jumped on the golf cart with us. They were such a delight! Room One, not the most ideal room if you are light sensitive as there is a security light that shines directly into the room. It would be nice if the beds were bigger ie. Queen size. Otherwise, it was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back with more golfing friends in tow...."
"What a surprise to find a the only Mountain Links Golf Course in the WORLD tucked away high on the top of a mountain in Schoemanskloof.... a stunning venue with the building built from surrounding rock with views one could only dream about. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and with all the amenities one could wish to have to make one's stay memorable. The owners of this glorious place are very hospitable and gave us personalised attention. A definite return to this jewel in the mountains! Tranquil, quiet, relaxing!"
"It was a lovely 4 days at Drakenzicht. Our hosts were most gracious and our children enjoyed playing with their boys. Cycling is probably not for the novice as the terrain is hilly and rocky. The golf course is a challenge. Take lots of balls. Accomodation was clean and adequate. We spent little time indoors but do take something to read as there are lots of "downtime.""
