Drakensberg Mountain Retreat

Great welcome, very pleasant and helpful staff - nothing too much trouble, waymarked trails easy to follow and great exercise and views,

I did not receive the access code to enter through the main gate. I sat in the rain for more than half an hour hoping some would spot me on the camera I eventually had to climb over the gate in the rain I eventually stumbled upon a house where the lady phoned the lodge on my behalf (There was no cell phone reception at the gate) My recommendation is that they should install a bell / intercom The walking trails are in a neglected state I walked the Dragons Spine trail only to find that the trail was totally overgrown and blocked at one point. This forced me to turn back after nearly getting to the top of the mountain. My recommendation is that the trails should be checked at least once a month Paul and Patricia are very gracious hosts My overall impression was good except for the above comments

We had a wonderful stay with Paul and Patricia our hosts. We stayed in The Barn and it was very spacious and rustic, which suited our family and friends. We had our catering handled by the team at Drakensberg Mountain Retreat and everything was handled nicely so we could all just relax. The short walk was very scenic and some ventured to do the 7km trail run too. An afternoon spent with the kids near the upper dams was very memorable too as mud, water and fun was enjoyed.

My wife and I only stayed for one night in May, as we were passing through. But everything was perfect, from the dinners to the horses to the pool room and bar area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

I would like to express our greatest appreciation to your hospitality over our short period we stayed with you. Once again, all compliments to everyone there, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, appreciated the gardens, absolutely enjoyed the pool and we felt at home from the start. It is a pity that they do not fix the road to the hotel as it is a distance to get there on the gravel road.

What a fantastic place Stunning views and fantastic walks We and our fur baby really enjoyed our room ,he even had his own garden ,superbe idea The food for breakfast and dinner was fantastic The host superb really friendly T
