Wonderlik.

Lieflike rustige plek. Waarde vir geld. Ek sal weer bespreek. Dit is 'n plek waar jy kan asemhaal en jouself weer kan vind. Geen klagtes. Kombuis goed toegerus. Load shedding ligte en gasstoof asook elektriese stoof. Bord speletjies in sitkamer kas en baie boeke. Lekker kaggel. Dis 'n spesiale plek. Soos geen ander. Lees die boek Pumula, dit is op boekrak in sitkamer. Interessant. Gebou in 1967. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet. Geen TV, geen WiFi. Dit is die wegbreek wat elkeen benodig.

Wonderful.

Lovely peaceful place. Value for money. I will book again. It is a place where you can breathe and find yourself again. No complaints. Kitchen well equipped. Load shedding lights and gas stove as well as electric stove. Board games in living room cupboard and many books. Nice fireplace. It's a special place. Like no other. Read the book Pumula, it is on bookshelf in living room. Interesting. Built in 1967. We enjoyed it immensely. No TV, no WiFi. This is the break everyone needs.

Ontspanne in 'n pragtige natuur.

Monk Cowl is baie naby. Reptielpark is die moeite werd om te besoek. Baie lekker gebly. Die tuin is aangenaam. Pragtige uitsig. 'n Mooi plek om te geniet van die natuur.

It's a wow! It's way more than what you see online. Beautiful.

They must change the photos online. The place has been upgraded with most of the things, including new linen, a new fridge, and newly painted walls. I enjoyed being in Pumula. The view is incredible, with mountain flowers and a clean yard. Erik is just a phone call away. I can recommend it to anyone.

Baie mooi uitsig.

Die matte kort aandag. Ons was ook nie voorbereid vir die aparte vetrekke nie. Die kamers is apart van die leefarea en kombuis, daarom moes ons in die koue in- en uitbeweeg as jy na die kombuis of kamers wou gaan en met 2 stelle sleutels beweeg. Die uitsig was ongelooflik mooi, maar nie veel om kinders mee besig te hou nie.

Very nice view.

The carpets need attention. We were also not prepared for the separate fat lines. The rooms are separate from the living area and kitchen, so we had to move in and out in the cold if you wanted to go to the kitchen or rooms and move with 2 sets of keys. The view was incredibly beautiful, but not much to keep children occupied.

We had a such a lovely stay. We could make a fire at night which kept us warm. The views of Champagne Castle and other peaks and surrounding mountains was incredible.

We woke up at dawn and enjoyed the sunrise every morning. Pumula is such a special place. It has a very warm and homely feel. Wood was provided for the fire which was a real bonus.

Beste uitsig ooit!

Ek kan elke dag in daardie sitkamer sit en na die uitsig kyk! Naby aan ander besienswaardighede soos die roofvoëlvertonings en die Drakensberge se seunskoor. Moet ook nie die bakkery onder in die vallei misloop nie. Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Baie rustiek, maar ongelooflik gemaklik en het alles wat mens nodig het.

I can sit in that lounge and look at the view every day! Close to other attractions such as the bird of prey shows and the Drakensberg boys' choir. Also, don't miss the bakery down in the valley. Excellent value for money. Very rustic, but incredibly comfortable and has everything you need.

Rest for your soul at the foot of the Drakensburg Mountains.

Situated at the foot of the Drakensburg the mountains, very close to Monks Cowl nature reserve (which has some of the best day hikes in the berg). We had the most amazing long weekend. We went hiking a couple of times, had gourmet burgers and milkshakes at Kabbo down the road (an absolute must if you are in the area) and we attended a performance of the Drakensburg Boys Choir at their school (what an amazing show!). The accommodation is rustic and basic but has everything you need and oozes with character from its rich history. Every morning was a treat. Watching the sun come up with a cup of coffee at the outside table under the trees seeing the beautiful mountains appear was just awe inspiring. Our 2 boys had loads of fun kicking a soccer ball on the big lawn and exploring the property in the day and playing board games at night by the built in fire place (it can get freezing at night in winter). What a refreshing back to basic place to reset your mind from the rush the city life. Can't wait to come back.

Wonderlik.

Dit was regtig wonderlik! Die uitsig en die omgewing waar dit is, is ongelooflik mooi. Dit het letterlik gevoel asof jy elke oggend as jy uitstap in 'n wolk is en as die is opgeklaar het was dit so bitter mooi. Baie rustig. Regtig, egtig mooi. Ek beveel Pumula Central Drakensberg 100% aan. Ons het die sleutel in ons kombuis toe gesluit en die eienaar was meer as gewillig om te help.

Peace and quiet. So much to do on the R600.

I realised we had to pack our own bedding as stated on the web page. I forgot and maybe it is worthwhile in the confirmation emails to emphasize such requirements.

It was magical!

Pumula is quite different to other places when it comes to what one is used to. It is very simple accommodation, but it comes with a ton of character. I absolutely loved the whole place - its indescribable location, the simplicity and the remoteness that allows reconnecting with basic values.

Really charming, rustic accommodation high up in the Central Berg. Great value for money!

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a bowl of holly from the lovely Diana and a panoramic view of Cathkin peak and surrounding mountains. Pumula is more rustic than we expected (with no rubbish collection even in the area) but we loved it and embraced it! You really do feel like you're in another world being so close to the Drakensberg Peaks. Sounds of the river at night, misty mountains in the morning, baboons running past in the afternoon. It's a wonderful location. Close to hiking trails, shops, lots of firewood stops and restaurants. Pumula would be perfect for groups of family or friends who enjoy hiking! P.S. I fell in love with Pumula's book collection - each one felt perfect for the Berg and gave you a sense of the owners, as well as the interesting history of the mountains.

Beautiful, peaceful, rustic, restful, fantastic night sky, awesome mountain view, etc.

Pumula is a rustic log cabin at the "foot" of the Drakensberg, just perfect for my adult daughter and son, my wife and I to break away from the fast-paced living and smog of the big city. Diana (the owner) is very friendly. Even though the weather at times was very cold, the cabins were warm, and we could snuggle up in the sitting room in front of the fireplace. More than enough room for a number of adults. More than what we expected. Lots of bird life. The sunrises against the mountain were beautiful and the evenings with the stars above was awesome. Almost a sort of home-from-home. The rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and sitting/dining room was well kept and cosy. We were very disappointed when it was time to go back home to Pretoria. We would definitely like to go and holiday there again.

Lekker rus in die berge.

Die huis is baie oud maar baie skoon. Die sitkamerbanke is op die einde van hulle leeftyd en sal binnekort vervang moet word. As jy gaan vir luuksheid is dit nie jou plek nie, maar die ligging is baie goed met uitsigte oor die vallei en die berge. Diana is baie vriendelik en gasvry!

Fantastiese uitsig op die berg en pragtige natuurskoon.

Lekker gebly, net bietjie onprakties indien jy 'n gesin van 5 persone is, aangesien die 2 slaapvertrekke nie naby aan mekaar is nie (daar kan 4 persone in die een, en 3 persone in die ander slaap), en die kombuis- en sitkamer-area heeltemal in 'n ander gebou is as die slaapvertrekke. Daar word ook nie vooraf gesê dat die bediende nie skottelgoed was nie, maar jy moet jou R180 daar laat vir die skoonmaker sodra jy vertrek. 'n Groot probleem vir ons was die vullis wat ons iewers moes gaan weggooi met ons vertrek en niemand weet waar om dit te doen nie. Indien jy met 'n voertuig ry waarin daar nie plek is om 'n swartsak met vullis te vervoer nie, kan dit 'n probleem skep - ons het van 'n ander vakansiebestemming af gekom en ons voertuig was redelik vol gelaai. Die oulike dame wat ons ontvang het, Diana, het gesê dat hulle hul rommel op Winterton, sowat 34 km van Pumula af, by die ander asdromme gaan aflaai. Selfs die toerismeraad het nog geen terugvoer daaromtrent gestuur nie.

Fantastic view of the mountain and beautiful scenery.

Nice stay, just a bit impractical if you are a family of 5, as the 2 bedrooms are not close to each other (there can be 4 people in one, and 3 people in the other), and the kitchen and living room -area is completely in a different building than the bedrooms. It is also not said in advance that the maid did not wash the dishes, but you must leave your R180 there for the cleaner as soon as you leave. A big problem for us was the garbage that we had to throw away somewhere when we left and no one knew where to do it. If you drive a vehicle in which there is no room to transport a black bag of rubbish, this can create a problem - we came from another holiday destination and our vehicle was quite full. The nice lady who received us, Diana, said that they were going to drop off their rubbish at Winterton, about 34 km from Pumula, at the other ash bins. Even the tourism board has not yet sent any feedback about it.

Dit was wonderlike verblyf!

Die huis rustiek, maar lekker groot, die kombuis is baie goed toegerus. Bring net jou eie toiletpapier. Al wat kort is 'n stort. Die tuin is pragtig en die uitsig asembenemend. Verskillende wandelpaaie is maklik bereikbaar. Ons het dit terdeë geniet en sal die plek enige tyd aanbeveel.

It was a wonderful stay!

The house is rustic, but nice and big, the kitchen is very well equipped. Just bring your own toilet paper. All that's missing is a shower. The garden is beautiful and the view breathtaking. Different hiking trails are easily accessible. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend the place anytime.

Baie lekker. Pragtige uitsig oor die berge. Waarde vir geld.

Goed ontvang deur die opsigter. 'n Baie gerieflike huis met drie slaapkamers, twee badkamers (net jammer daar is nie 'n stort nie). 'n Ou huis maar baie netjies. Sal dit aanbeveel vir gesinne.

Beautiful, peaceful and the closest place to heaven with no TV and radio time to communicate with each other.

Just another thing is needed: A shower for the larger people, undercover parking for the cars when the hails strikes, a light at the braai area, and a splash pool will be nice... otherwise it was awesome. Will definitely tell family and friends about your beautiful place.

Pragtige omgewing, maar die plek kan doen met bietjie opknap en skoonmaak, veral kombuis en matte.

Pragtige omgewing. Blyplek lekker ruim. Badkamers baie oud en matte baie vuil. Eetgerei in die kombuis was vuil en moes eers gewas geword het voor ons dit kon gebruik het. Een kamer het sponsmatrasse op die beddens, sleg, kinders het ongemaklik daarop geslaap. Die plek het baie potensiaal, maar kort bietjie aandag.

Magnificent area, but the place can do with a bit of maintenance, especially the kitchen and carpets.

Magnificent area. Spacious accommodation. Bathrooms very old and dirty. Cutlery in kitchen was dirty and had to be washed before we could use it. One of the rooms has a sponge mattress, bad, one of the kids had to sleep uncomfortably on it. The place has a lot of potential but needs some attention.

Die ligging is puik!

Die berge is op 'n mens se voorstoep. Diana is baie aangenaam en behulpsaam. Pumula het so veel potensiaal, maar mens kan sien dat instandhouding kort. Die meubels is gemaklik, maar baie oud. Waarde vir geld, maar kan doen met opknapping.

Verblyf vir 'n wegbreeknaweek vir dogter se verjaarsdag!

Vat jou terug na 'n tyd wat jy saam met jou grootouers gekuier het. Log cabin in die ware sin, gebou uit plaaslike materiaal, met 'n lekker vuurherd. Die kombuis is eenvoudig, tog ten volle toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het. Genoeg slaapplek vir 7 mense. Geen stort, maar nie die ergste ding in die wêreld nie. Diana is vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Daar is so baie om in die omgewing te doen. Pak tekkies in vir stap na watervalle! Uitsig is fantasties. Net een ding, jy moet jou nie-herwinbare vullis saam met jou terugvat.

Stayed for a getaway weekend for daughter's birthday!

Take yourself back to a time you visited with your grandparents. Log cabin in the truest sense, built from local materials, with a nice hearth. The kitchen is simple, yet fully equipped with everything you need. Enough sleeping space for 7 people. No shower, but not the worst thing in the world. Diana is friendly and helpful. There is so much to do in the area. Pack sneakers for hiking to waterfalls! View is fantastic. Just one thing, you have to take your non-recyclable trash back with you.

Uitstekende ligging en uitsigte.

Huis het baie spasie en groot grasperk vir kinders. Huis se binnekant kort bietjie opgradering. Geen verwarmers in die kamers nie ('n moet vir die winter). Prys is bietjie hoog in vergelyking met ander plekke in die omgewing. Mens moet al jou vullis self verwyder - nie wat 'n mens verwag nie. Moet meer voorsiening maak vir kragonderbrekings.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Excellent location and views.

House has a lot of space and large lawn for children. Home's interior needs some upgrading. No heaters in the rooms (a must for winter). Price is a bit high compared to other places in the area. One has to remove all one's own garbage - not what one expects. Need to make more provision for power outages.

Dit het feitlik die hele naweek gereën en daarom was die verblyf ekstra lekker met die ruim sitkamer en heerlike kaggel wat ons kon aansteek.

Dis tog jammer dat jy eie beddegoed moet neem - veral as ruimte in kar beperk is EN die feit dat daar nie 'n stort is nie - die bad is nie altyd geskik vir almal nie. Die pragtige, goeie en mooi ligging maak op daarvoor en die asaleas was ongelooflik mooi!

It rained practically the whole weekend and therefore the stay was extra nice with the spacious living room and lovely fireplace that we could light.

It's a shame that you have to take your own bedding - especially if space in the car is limited AND the fact that there is no shower - the bath is not always suitable for everyone. The beautiful, good and beautiful location makes up for it and the azaleas were incredibly beautiful!

Definitely place to bookmark for future visits! Great views & hospitality.

Great views. Relaxing. Quiet. Well kept. Best equipped kitchen we've ever encountered. Many things to do within a short drive. Even our 3 teenagers didn't mind the fact that there wasn't a TV! Two "nice to haves" we'd have loved: A guest toilet in the living area and a warning that the water for drinking might be a problem (but that wasn't a train smash at all.) And, Diana, thank you for all your trouble and the little chats. You & Lenah are stars!

Pumula is fantastic value for money, in a stunning location!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Pumula, what a spectacular view! Stunning huge lounge/dining area with fireplace and large windows all around to show off the lovely mountain views. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are in a separate building. Bedroom 1 (2 x 2 adult single beds), Bedroom 2 (2 x kiddies single beds) and Bedroom 3 (2 x adult single beds and 1 x kiddies single bed). Bedroom 3 has it's own en-suite, while bedroom 1 and 2 share a bathroom. The men would have liked a shower (there are only baths here). Also, the beds are a bit small and I would recommend exchanging the kiddies beds for the adult single beds, and perhaps getting a queen size bed in the 3rd bedroom. Otherwise no complaints. Pumula is wonderfully located, so close to everything! We will definitely be back, and recommend Pumula to our friends and family.

Beautiful peaceful place

It is a beautiful setting, awesome views and not expensive. It is a wonderful peaceful place. The only thing bothering me was the inside of the houses. It is very old (it didnt bother me) but some people may find it a bit freaky. We had a very long drive and when we went to bed, the beds were not made. There were no sheets, only blankets - luckily for us because it was very cold. It will be an awesome place to stay if they just give more attention to the inside of the houses. A nice, clean bed is a must!

Excellent place to relax in a stress-free environment. Other people may prefer shower facilities although my wife and myself were satisfied with the facilities provided.
