Drakensberg Mountain Retreat

We had a fabulous stay and were well looked after in every way. It's a perfect place to get away from the business of life and enjoy the beauty, peace and tranquility of the area with lovely managers taking care of everything.

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

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!
