Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★

"We stayed there during one of the coldest weeks in June and had NO proper hot water for 5 DAYS. Only 2 people out of 5 could shower each day, the rest of us froze. We complained daily. And guess what? Nothing was done. Hendrick (Resort Manager) and Paseka (Front Desk Manager) were completely useless. They didn’t care, didn’t act, didn’t resolve anything. To "compensate" us, they sent a ridiculous WhatsApp offering a head and shoulder massage for 2 people. WE WERE 5! That’s not compensation — it’s an insult. We replied… and they’ve ignored us ever since. This was supposed to be a holiday. Instead, we spent our time chasing after staff who clearly couldn’t be bothered. We’re seriously angry and disappointed. 💬 And no, we don’t want another “sorry to hear about your experience” response. We want accountability and proper compensation. 🔥 Avoid Cayley Lodge. If something goes wrong, don’t expect help — because their management just doesn’t care. #TravelWarning #CayleyLodge #Drakensberg #HolidayFail #CustomerServiceFail #NeverAgain"

Cathedral Peak Hotel ★★★★

"We decided at the last minute to sneak away from the madness and CPH was perfect as usual. Our favorite go to place for a reset and a recharge. The Staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are perfect, and then there is the fantastic food. Thank goodness for the beautiful walks. We will be back again and again and always. CPH never disappoints. Thank you"

Aha Alpine Heath Resort ★★★★

"I had a wonderful stay at Aha. The accommodation was comfortable and well-kept, the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was consistently delicious. Overall, it was a delightful experience that I’d happily recommend to others."

Little Switzerland Resort by Dream Resorts ★★★★

"Vi älskade vår sex-natt-uppehåll.All personal är så vänlig och uppmärksam från den minut du kör genom porten.Vi hade frukost och middag alternativ och var trevligt överraskade varje kväll med de utmärkta måltider och variation. Vårt bergsutsiktsrum var extremt bekvämt och hölls ospottligt ren.Vi älskade de vandringar som börjar på resorten.Inget behov av att köra någonstans för att göra vandringar.Vi kan inte vänta på att gå tillbaka och rekommendera denna resort högt!"

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel ★★★

"This was the umpteenth time I have been part of a group of colleagues, friends, gathering to relax, reminisce or celebrate an anniversary. In May 2025, (now), our group comprised most members of the Natal University Athletics Club in 1968-69 (most ran the Comrades marathon back then.) The relaxed happy ambience of The Nest was exactly what such fellowship needed to celebrate. During the days we made use of the many local amenities available; Falcon Ridge, Drakensberg Boys Choir, Craft Beer Tasting, and walks on the grounds of The Nest. My wife and I, within a group or alone, will certainly return - probably many times; because as pensioners the tariffs are also extremely honest."

Spion Kop Lodge ★★★★

"WE WENT THERE TO CELEBRATE OUR 56TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. OLD BUILDING BUT EXCELLENT AMBIANCE AND NICE SHADED PARKING. THE ROOM WAS HUGE AND THE SHOWER WAS GOOD WITH NICE HOT WATER. THE BEST PART OF OUR STAY WERE THE EXCELLENT DINNERS WITH STEAK THE FIRST NIGHT AND LAMB CHOPS THE SECOND NIGHT COOKED TO PERFECTION. LOVELY THREE COURSE MEAL. WE FURTHER ENJOYED OUR OUTING TO THE SPIOENKOP BATTLEFIELD WHICH IS ABOUT 30KMS FROM THE LODGE."

Montusi Mountain Lodge ★★★★

"Montusi is a very nice place indeed. The suites are huge and extremely comfortable and the views of the Amphitheatre are incredible. It’s a great base for exploring the northern Drakensberg, but I’d also recommend doing the local village tour. The food is very good and the staff are all extremely friendly."

Nauntons Guest House ★★★★

"Good, friendly service from all staff from reception to kitchen, clean comfortable room, easy to have dinner and not drive to town. Delicious food selection. The honesty bar is also convenient, and coffee station. The venue feels safe with security at the gate and the gardens are beautifully to have a early morning "
