Drakensberg Mountain Retreat

Rustigheid.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en die etes was fantasties. Uitsig wonderlik, en kamer baie gerieflik.

We had a great stay as a group, loved the view!

Recommend a high clearance vehicle to assess the location, the view is so worth the gravel road leading to it. It was a wonderful stay!

Asemrowende, pragtige uitsig op die berge. Die mooiste perde in 'n skilderagtige omgewing.

Puik diens en heerlike etes.

Theo en Zi-Zi is baie gasvry en het ons welkom laat voel.

Dankie vir die champagne en chocolate surprise. Dankie vir die gasvryheid en honde vriendelike woning. Lekker staproetes vir almal. Daar is iets aan die berge wat kalmte vir 'n mens bring.

Theo and Zizi are amazing hosts - caring, professional, helpful and full of knowledge!

Fabulous scenic location - probably among the very best in the Drakensberg - spoiled only by the relatively poor gravel road for the last 12km to the Retreat (but really well worth it on arrival!). The hosts are superb, the staff are all well trained, efficient, friendly and helpful. The room (No. 5) was a dream, with a matchless panoramic view from the veranda. The food, service and accommodation are all world class. Make no mistake, we'll be back!

Blissful tranquillity in the mountain.

A lovely and tranquil hideaway in the mountains, full of surprises. Friendly and good service and all the staff were competent and professional. Well done to Theo with your team. The view is wonderful and meals excellent. Just the place to relax with a book(s), with a crackling fireplace, and fresh air, and just 4 hours from Pretoria. See you again!

Beautiful view and yummy food.

The Retreat is hidden down a long gravel road, but worth the travel. The host Jerry was very accommodating and all the staff were friendly, even Cato the terrier. The food was so delicious. It rained the second and third day, but that was perfect for us as we needed the down time. We sat by one of the many fireplaces (even the smokers nook had a fire), and watched Netflix series on our laptop. Very sorry to go.

A very peaceful place to relax from the world.

Very tranquil and peaceful with excellent meals and service.

Pragtige plek met ruim gemaklike kamers en lieflike onderdaktuine.

Pragtige plek omring met berge. Die kamers is groot en gerieflik met 'n onderdaktuin. Heerlik vir kinders en honde. Die kos was heerlik en die bestuur gasvry.

Accommodation was lovely, with fast service and good food.

Hiking trail was an experience, with beautiful views, here and there challenging. Wild horses who come to visit the lodge was also a wonderful experience. Would like to visit in winter with snow.

Exactly what I wanted.

For a large group you won't find any better. The children enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much! Really enjoyed it.

Aangenaam verras.

Wat 'n juweel so tussen êrens en nêrens. Die personeel was gasvry, die vertrekke warm en die kos regte hartskos. Ons waardeer altyd die geskiedenis aan enige plek en die gesels met Anthony oor die omgewing, die wilde perde en ander was interessant. Die uitry na die "Kaalvoet vrou" en "Retief se Klip" was emosioneel as daar in jou hart nog 'n Voortrekker woon. Sal nie aanbeveel dat jy soontoe ry in 'n lae voertuig nie.

Very comfortable.

Thank you! Friendly staff.

Rus en ontspan.

Heerlik gerus en ontspan.

Kwaliteit familietyd, rustige omgewing.

Asemrowende natuurskoon, maak dit 'n onvergeetlike vakansie. Naweek wegbreek. Genoeg om die kinders mee besig te hou in 'n rustige omgewing. Batterye word definitief herlaai.

Baie welkom gevoel. Kamers is netjies en omgewing baie mooi.

Enigste probleem: Die instansie word aangegee as 4,7 km vanaf Drakensville, maar dit is eintlik 32 km waarvan 12 km baie slegte grondpad is. Kan nie meer as 10 km per uur met 'n gewone voertuig ry nie, veral as dit reën.

Comfortable.

We were 4 adults travelling, whilst the establishment was very clean and 'old world' the furniture was a little tired and could do with some replacement. The meals were very good, however, the portions were really far too big and quite wasteful.

Quiet atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service!

Thanks to Gerry and his team. Will definitely stay here again.

Very cosy place with pleasant people.

Fireplaces everywhere. Dinner included and breakfast was fantastic. View is breathtaking from the lounge and dining room.

It was lovely to stay there. The staff is very friendly and hospitable.

The place is unbelievably pretty. It was so nice to stay there and the staff very friendly and hospitable. It's like sleeping in your own place. Will go there again.

It was really pretty, but a lot of other places cost the same for more to do.

The view is out of this world and there is a lot of hiking trails. The food is real homemade food. It is ideal for people who likes hiking. Zizi delivered great client service. The premises is a little dirty and full of dust. The family of the owner took over the area with the pool table and you couldn't really use it. Lunch is restricted and there isn't a shop close by. For the same price you could stay somewhere else with 3 meals a day plus activities.

Great reception.

We went to Drakensberg Mountain Retreat for 2 nights in December 2016 and enjoyed our stay. The place is really a retreat with horses roaming the gardens and beautiful views of the Drakensberg. There are good hiking trails for those wanting to get active. The reception we received was extra friendly, we had some friends coming over from Johannesburg for the one night, they booked elsewhere but were allowed to spend the day with us, hiking, sharing the communal facilities etc. and we arranged for them to have dinner with us with no hassle from the staff. Nice, relaxed place to spend time with loved ones.

Was casual and relaxing. Food for the soul with so much natural beauty.

Will definitely recommend. Hospitality and the meals that were served were fantastic.

Incredibly hospitable.

The staff are very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The rooms are very beautiful and the food was excellent. Will definitely recommend Drakensberg Mountain Retreat.

Salig.

Die kontras wanneer jy met die grondpad ry en amper niks sien nie en dan jou eindbestemming bereik is die moeite werd. Heerlike gerieflike groot kamers. Die aanloklike kaggelvure is natuurlik 'n bonus op koue wintersaande. Aandete by kerslig was heerlik. Die aand se verblyf was 'n lekker bederf aan die einde van 'n langerige naweek se wegbreek.

Beautiful mountains, clean air, delicious food and friendly hosts.

We had a fantastic time. The view if the mountains was the best part. The rooms were spacious, clean and fully equipped. The candle-lit dinners were a treat. The staff is friendly and the hosts are fantastic. Highly recommended.

Die uitsig vanaf die hele plaas is asemrowend!

Die moeite werd om die grondpad aan te durf! Alhoewel dit 'n ent weg is, is dit rybaar en beslis die tyd werd as 'n oorslaapplek!

Baie lekker en ongelooflik mooi!

Baie mooi uitsig en verblyf. Heerlike kos. Baie gawe mense.

Fantastiese uitsig, goeie kos en gasvrye personeel.

Ons het Bergville baie geniet, ons is mal oor die area en sien dit as 'n puik manier om van die besige stad te vergeet.

Baie ontspannend en gerieflik.

Dit was ontspannend en gerieflik vir ons hele gesin. Regtig 'n huislike atmosfeer en 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die hele Drakensberg. Die ontbyt en aandete was regtig lekker. Sal beslis weer daar oorslaap.

Onverbeterlik!

Een van die mooiste en lekkerste plekke waar ons nog ooit gebly het! Die personeel het verskriklik baie moeite vir ons gedoen, en vir ons gratis vonkelwyn en 'n pragtige bos rose saam met ons aandete gegee. Die uitsigte is ontsaglik mooi en die kamer en badkamer is fantasties toegerus. Ons sal met groot oorgawe soontoe terugkeer.

Kort wegbreek na Drakensberge!

Baie mooi en gerieflik. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Kos was uitstekend. Ek sal Drakensberg Mountain Retreat beslis aanbeveel.

Heerlik!

Hulle het die lekkerste kos. Dit is die ideale bestemming vir 'n romantiese naweek. Staproetes baie geniet. Drinkgoed billik, heerlike rustige naweek. Dankie vir bestuurder, Jerry en sy vrou wat ons baie tuis laat voel het.

Good

See the stars below.

Baie aangenaam!

Ons verblyf by Drakensberg Mountain Retreat was baie aangenaam. Daar heers 'n lekker plaasatmosfeer, rustig met vars lug om in te asem en 'n pragtige uitsig! Die kos was wonderlik; 10 uit 10. Sal graag terug gaan om die staproetes te stap. Al negatiewe kommentaar wat ek het, is dat die pad bietjie sleg is en klein motor's sal sukkel om daar te kom ...

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame bestuur.

Sien die sterre hieronder.

Pragtige uitsig, silwerskoon en veilig!

'n Plek om te rus en ontspan.

Beautiful scenery.

Enjoyed the undiluted atmosphere of the Drakensberg Mountains in well-located hotel where you hear the natural music of the birds and the rattling sound of the leaves of the trees that decorate the area. A must for a person who needs tranquility and time to reflect on his/her life.

Awesome

Its one of the best place to visit and has wonderful scenery surrounding it. The food is good and the location is just awesome. Only drawback is the road which is worst (the stretch of 15 kms of dirt road from the relief pass was just terrible) but definitely value for money.

Very quite and peacfull

The hostess, Tracy, was very friendly and made us felt at home, though we were far from our home. The food was prepared well and was delicious. We can recommend the Retreat for everyone who want to break away for a couple of days.

Uitsteekend en baie mooi

Alles was baie goed net jammer dat die pad R74 in so swak toestand is en nou onrybaar is!!
