Ek het kothuis baie klein gevind.

Ons het net 1 nag gebly, maar as ek langer moes bly was die kothuis te klein. Alles silwerskoon en uitsig onverbeterlik. Ons het warm geslaap en dit was'n ysige koue aand.

I found cottage very small.

We only stayed 1 night, but if I had to stay longer the cottage was too small. Everything spotless and the view unbeatable. We slept warm and it was a freezing cold night.

Great views and great hikes on the property, would 100% recommend!

Stayed for 3 nights and the views of the Berg are awesome. Accommodation is exactly as advertised and extremely clean and tidy. Did the Otter trail hike on the property down to the Tugela river which is great for getting your feet in the water before hiking back up to the cottages. Would definitely recommend Berghouse and Cottages.

Dit was 'n heerlike, ontspannende paar dae in die berge.

Phinda Suite 7 is omtrent so groot soos 'n dubbelgarage. Die foto's laat die spasie beslis bietjie groter lyk as wat dit is. Die binnekaggel en uitsig van die stoep af, was pragtig. Die kombuisspasie is net regtig knap en daar is nie 'n braaibak nie. Die eenheid het wel 'n 1-plaat induksiestoof (alhoewel die beskrywing sê geen stoofgeriewe nie), wat ons nogal baie gebruik het.

It was a lovely, relaxing couple of days in the mountains.

Phinda Suite 7 is about the size of a double garage. The photos definitely make the space look a little bigger than it is. The indoor fireplace and view from the porch was beautiful. The kitchen space is just really neat and there is no braai. The unit does have a 1-plate induction stove (although the description says no stove facilities), which we used quite a bit.

Berg wegbreek.

Alhoewel dit meeste van die tyd gereën het sedert ons aankoms, het ons die twee nagte baie geniet. Toe die wolke lig op ons vertrek-oggend, kon mens die pragtige omgewing eers werklik waardeer en was ons spyt om te vertrek! Sal beslis B&C weer besoek as ons so bietjie moet "detox" van die lewe se gejaag.

Mountain getaway.

Although it rained most of the time since our arrival, we really enjoyed the two nights. When the clouds lifted on the morning of our departure, one could only really appreciate the beautiful surroundings and we were sorry to leave! Will definitely visit B&C again if we need to "detox" a bit from the hustle and bustle of life.

Rustieke sjarme met pragtige uitsigte.

Op 'n plaas, soveel teksture en foto-geleenthede, miniatuur perdjies is te oulik. Swembad is iets besonders. Bietjie ongelyk vir oumense. Geen hoë heinings, maar ons het veilig gevoel. As ek kan aanbeveling maak: bietjie beter taak-beligting in die kombuisie sou baie help. Pragtig skoon en rustigheid vir jou siel.

Rustic charm with beautiful views.

On a farm, so many textures and photo opportunities, miniature horses are too cute. Swimming pool is something special. A bit uneven for old people. No high fences, but we felt safe. If I can make a recommendation: a little better task lighting in the kitchen would help a lot. Beautifully clean and peaceful for your soul.

Hello Marie,
Thank you for the visit and kind words.
We will make sure that there is more lighting in the bathroom, perhaps one of the 2 globes has fused.
The swimming pool is an Infinity Rock Pool, by the very nature of this pool there won't be many flat areas, we suggest to the elderly to hold onto the waterfall as they enter the pool, but thank you for mentioning this.
We have a high fence around the swimming pool to prevent toddlers from entering without parent supervision.
We look forward to your return someday,

Beautiful establishment.

I thought I booked a house by the edge overlooking the valley below the hill, but to my surprise, this was not a problem as the pen to the miniature horses was in front of us and it was fascinating to watch them the whole day. Apart from that the scenery of the establishment was amazing. There are hiking trails there as well just outside the gate. There is one thing I recommend others to bring along is their own wood (hardwood) they did provide a bundle of wood on the house during my stay but it's more for a fireplace only really which was awesome by the way.

We have wood for sale on-site, black wattle, and gum, we have never had any problems with this wood for the fireplaces, we provide a daily replenishment, there are always 5 bundles supplied, more than enough for a braai. We do recommend you bring some charcoal to add to the fire to braai on. We hope you left us with excellent memories of your stay, we look forward to your return someday.

Besonders gerieflik by die swembad. Die kos wat by die chalet afgelewer word is puik.

Alhoewel die laaste gedeelte na die lodge ’n grondpad is, kan enige voertuig dit tydsaam bemagtig. As jy na stilte soek dan gaan jy na Berghouse and Cottages toe. As jy vier seisoene op een dag soek is dit ook hier. Tog is elke ondervinding 'n herinnering. Beslis lekker.

Particularly comfortable at the pool. The food delivered to the chalet is great.

Although the last section to the lodge is a dirt road, any vehicle can make it in time. If you are looking for silence then you go to Berghouse and Cottages. If you are looking for four seasons in one day it is also here. Yet every experience is a memory. Definitely nice.

Dear Gehard,
We are saddened to see your review. You obviously had a terrible time, we are uncertain why you had such a torrid time. Surprisingly you mentioned nothing to us while you were visiting, we would have certainly corrected what it was that never met your expectation.
We strive to please our clients with something more than expected. Clearly, we have failed in your case.
We are all at a loss as to what could have gone wrong. Should you happen to read our reply, please contact us to discuss further.
Our location is rural, out in the country, high up in the Northern Drakensberg mountains overlooking the magnificent Drakensberg mountains.
We wish you well.

Pragtige huisies met asemrowende uitsig en geriewe.

Cottage nr. 1 was perfek vir ons 2 gesinne. Baie lekker uitleg in die eenheid met pragtige uitsig op die amfiteater. Groot tafel buite met lieflike speelareas vir die kinders. Kombuis het heerlik gewerk en ons het soos konings geëet. Sal vir seker terugkom na hierdie juweel van 'n plek.

Berghouse and Cottages is an absolute wonder. Peace and utter awe we never had anywhere else. A true blessing.

We had the most comfortable and wonderful stay in Thamela Cottage nr 1. The cottage inside was spotless and catered for far more than we expected. Words cannot describe the peace an quiet there. Whether going on adventures or simply to rest and relax, they have it all. The entire retreat is stunning, all the unique cottages, horse camps, view points and the rock pool took our breath away. We will most definitely stay there again. Grateful hearts from Rustenburg and Hibberdene.

Dit was 'n baie besielende ervaring.

Die Berghouse is op 'n asemrowende deel van die Bergville-omgewing geleë. As jy belangstel in die natuur en pragtige uitsigte op die Drakensberge, dan moet jy hier oorslaap. Die verblyf was uitstekend en baie gerieflik. Heerlike kaggel in die rondawel wat die winter koue uithou. Bederf jouself en gaan besoek Berghouse. Vaughn is 'n baie goeie gasheer.

Arduous 5 km drive off tarmac to cottages. Ponies and horses roam the grounds, therefore many flies - bring your own spray for them!

The place is full of flies. There is no airconditioning and the fans are totally inadequate. Tap water discoloured and unpleasant, have to go to main house everytime to get clear, fresh supply. Likewise, WiFi only available at reception. Crockery missing and tin opener hasn't worked for years. Of course the unusual heat wave made for more discomfort. Don't forget clothing or anything there - the owners response: "We do not post things on"

Thank you for taking the time to write your review.We value all contributions as we strive to make our clients stay as comfortable as possible.The driveway to the cottages is an unpaved driveway, the distance to be exact is 3 kilometers long, 6 meters wide,well maintained gravel road as advertised, with astounding views of the panoramic spectrum of the entire Central and Northern Drakensberg mountains.We are sad that the heatwave experienced throughout the country including the Drakensberg affected you so badly, we have never experienced the like before as the heatwave was 10 degrees warmer than we have ever recorded on site.We try and provide as many fans to the cottages as possible, some years the fans are not used at all.WiFi provided is free of charge, had you inquired, we would have gladly pointed out the Hotspots to you.We take an inventory of the cottages as soon as guests leave the premises, our humble apology if you found the tin opener unusable, we will take immediate action with this regard.We have a strict fly control program, we have noticed,due to the heatwave, that the fly population increased,for those few days,however, we provide all cottages with fly spray if there is a need.The water supply is from a spring,chlorinated and used for domestic purposes,drinking water is also provided in the cottages and refilled on a daily basis, we are sad to hear that you had to specially request more water, we will certainly bring this to the attention of our housekeeper. Due to the quantity of goods including clothing left behind by visitors and the recent strikes,long queues at the Post Office, we refrain from posting goods back as explained.We hope this reply assists in as positive manner as intended.We hope that you will pluck up the courage to return someday soon.

Magnificent views and surroundings in the Drakensberg.

Cosy, but simple cottage with great views. The cottages are situated on a hill in front of the Amfitheather. We spent two whole days on the hill hiking and horse riding. Very relaxed. Great for kids as they can feed the horses. Owners are very kind.

Wonderlike plek! Die mooiste uitsig. Net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Die beligting in die kombuis is swak. 'n Mens kan niks sien as jy saans skottelgoed was nie. En die nota op die yskas wat waarsku dat jy alles moet los soos jy dit gekry het anders betaal jy R150 het my bietjie afgesit. 'n Mens gaan op vakansie om jou nie te bekommer oor beddens opmaak en skottelgoed was nie, om weg te kom van daaglikse take. Iemand het wel kom skoonmaak, maar net so bolangs. Ek het deur die skottelgoed gegaan wat ons nie gebruik het nie en dit was nie baie skoon nie.

Wonderful place! The most beautiful view. Just what we needed.

The lighting in the kitchen is poor. One can't see anything when washing dishes at night. And the note on the fridge warning that you must leave everything as you found it or you will pay R150 put me off a bit. One goes on vacation not to worry about making beds and washing dishes, to get away from daily chores. Someone did come to clean, but just like upstairs. I went through the dishes we didn't use and they weren't very clean.

Het werklik beter verwag.

Onderhoud is beslis nie op standaard nie. Daar was verskeie gloeilampe wat nie gewerk het nie. Dit het heelwat gereën gedurende ons verblyf, dus kon ons sien waar die dak in die sitkamer lek ─ ook naby elektriese muurproppe. Die mikrogolfoond is nie in 'n goeie werkende toestand nie. Die WiFi waarvan gepraat word, is net onder die akkerboom by die ontvangs beskikbaar! Gedurende ons verblyf, die derde nag, het 'n waterpyp in die een kamer se dak/plafon gebars. My seun moes emmers en bakke gebruik om die water op te vang ... Die beddegoed en die vloer was sopnat. As ons meer persone in die huis was, sou dit 'n goeie gemors gewees het. Hy't die volgende dag na 'n ander kamer geskuif. Die dubbelbed in die middelkamer is van swak gehalte. Ek hoop ander het beter verblyf beleef. Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Really expected better.

Maintenance is definitely not up to standard. There were several light bulbs that did not work. It rained a lot during our stay, so we could see where the roof was leaking in the living room ─ also near electrical wall plugs. The microwave oven is not in good working order. The WiFi we are talking about is available just under the oak tree at the reception! During our stay, the third night, a water pipe burst in one room's roof/ceiling. My son had to use buckets and bowls to catch the water... The bedding and the floor were soaking wet. If we had more persons in the house, it would have been a good mess. The next day he moved to another room. The double bed in the middle room is of poor quality. I hope others have had better experiences. Would not recommend it.

This is a lovely little place with a beautiful view, very calm and cozy.

We had a great weekend at Berghouse and Cottages. The room was very cozy with cute furniture. We really enjoyed our evenings on the little terrace with view on the mountains, braai (barbecue) and even a little fire that we made with the wood that was provided. Only thing that could be improved: the fridge is tiny :) But it wasn't a big problem, I would always recommend theis place!nnThank you very much!

Mooi huisie om te sien; slaapkamers was mooi.

Ontvangs was vriendelik. Huisie is mooi, maar woonkamer erg klein en vol meubels. Keukentoerusting was niet voldoende. Ons het lekker gebraai en gesit op de stoep (met pragtig uitzicht op het amfitheater). Min-puntje: ons Hollanders sit graag op de stoep. De stoelen is niet fijn om te ontspan. Plus-puntje: eienaar het uitsigtpunt gemaak boonop de heuwel. Hier kan jy lekker ontspan, van die uitsigt geniet met een glaasie wyn in jou hand. (terugvoer van buitelandse gas)

We had a nice barbecue and sat on the stoep (with a beautiful view of the amphitheater). Minus point: we Dutch like to sit on the stoep. The chairs are not nice for relaxing. Plus point: the owner has made a viewpoint on top of the hill. Here you can relax, enjoy the view with a glass of wine in your hand. (return of foreign gas)
