• "Snow on the berg in November!"

  21 November 2017

  "We loved every moment of our stay. The cottages were comfortable and homely and the garden has to be seen to be believed. There was a choice of outside eating places and everywhere there were views and more incredible views. We were looked after so well by Happiness who washed mounds of dishes with a smile. Berg walks and rivers easily accessible. We would recommend this place without reservation to groups of 8 people. Had the happiest reunion with my siblings and spouses."

• "Great Stay"

  30 March 2016

  "Beautiful stone built cottage with fireplace. Enjoyed taking pics and relaxing at the outside braai, beautiful garden and huge lawn. The dam has a small boat and kids enjoyed it. Happiness serviced the house and is friendly. Cottage is close to Castleburn and Drakensberg Resort. If you need peace and quiet stay at Esigodini. Convenient store, horseriding, hiking, fishing, restuarants are within 1-2 km. We did our shopping at Spar in Underberg 25km from Cottage. We had only 1 problem, our stay was too short"

  "What you see on the website is what you get. Everything is in place and neat.<div>Would like for them to offer the option of supplying braai packs and wood, if needed like in our case. We were on bikes, and ran a bit late.</div><div>Know it's not always possible, but only a suggestion. Otherwise every second was heaven. Thanks to all involved.</div><div>Bike tour 2016</div>"

  27 July 2015

  "Great spot that has everything that you need between the mountains. We took the whole family for a weekend away and everyone had a great time! We were even lucky enough to get snow one night and build a snow man. Loved the warm fire place and exploring the area around the cottage. We will definitely be back again! Excellent value for money!!!"

• "Absolutely Breath Taking"

  08 June 2015

  "We enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at this little gem in Underberg. By far the best value for money in the area. The staff were delightful, the views absolutely breath taking and the establishment by far exceeded our expectations. The photographs definitely do not do the place justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the freezing cold evenings sittingaround the fire. We will most definitely be back soon, hopefully for a longer stay :)"

• "Family Weekend"

  23 March 2015

  "<p>Esigodini was a delightful stay with the family. For the price we paid I was a bit skeptical however on our arrival everyone was pleasantly surprised. Affordable, safe and peaceful with a beautiful garden area.<br /><br />The cottage had everything one needed. Perfect location to Drakensberg gardens and lake Naverone where one could enjoy the dayfacilities. <br /></p><p></p>"

• "Peaceful"

  30 November 2014

  "It was beautiful, peaceful. Its just so wonderful to be in the mountains. It is spacious and sleeps 10 people. It was lovely to walk around the gardens and sit outside."

• "Breathtakingly beautiful"

  17 November 2014

  "Our stay at Esigodini Cottage was absolutely amazing. The trip from Johannesburg is a very very long one, especially the last 100 or so kilometers through the winding roads of underberg but once we arrived it was absolutely worth it. The cottage itself is quaint and cost, the garden and outside area around the Fire are spectacular but the most breathtaking element is the views and surrounding landscapes. I cannot recommend this cottage enough!"

• "Great Spot, Awesome Value For Money"

  14 October 2014

  "The pictures, though nice, actually don't do Esigodini justice - everything is even better when you are there! We were super impressed with the facilities and loved being away in this small, pretty valley. We will hopefully be back soon."

• "Excellent for a group"

  19 August 2014

  "We arrived at 9pm and were greeted with smiles and a roaring fire. I would highly recommend staying here if you're a group of friends looking to explore the Underberg area or stay over for a couple of nights before heading into Lesotho.We will definitely stay here again."

• "Awesome little cottage!"

  05 August 2014

  "Wow, wow, that's the word to express the weekend we had Esigodini. It feels so much like you're at home, the staff were really amazing, the cottage is at an amazing spot surrounded by mountains and I like the fact that it has bad cellphone reception so we all bonded and enjoyed it because no one was glued to their phones. It's perfect for a real getaway out of everything. Thank you Sue and your staff, everything was just perfect. There's a family that's also going to visit!"

• "Our mini getaway"

  16 June 2014

  "We just came back from our mini getaway to underberg and stayed at Esigodini. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be booking again there. The fireplace kept us super warm during the very cold nights. The accommodation is so snug and cosy, we (all 10 of us) really loved it there. It was absolute BLISS"

• "Wonderful"

  02 June 2014

  "Beautiful place in a nice location, friendly and courteous stuff. For a 10 sleeper an additional bathroom would be much appreciated. The whole group is definitely coming back, hopefully it will snow then."

• "Absolutely magical!"

  28 May 2014

  "We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a very special occasion. The surroundings are breath-taking, the silence bliss for the soul. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge around the fireplace at night and exploring the mountains and river during the day. You have everything you need in this little piece of paradise, I would highly recommend it to anyone."

  "My family and I (9 of us) had the privilege of staying at Esigodini from 04/01/14 to 08/01/14. We had the most awesome time ever!!! the accommodation is really spacious and comfortable. The cottages are set in such beautiful surroundings. The view of the majestic mountains is nothing short of spectacular. We really enjoyed the serenity and the breathtaking beauty of God's creation. Thanks to Sue and Chris for a lovely place and thanks to Clement and his wife for making us feel so at home....we will definitely be back. :)"
