Amazing view and great location. The host was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Walked a few meters and saw Zebra and Wildebeest. Also saw about 50 vultures the next morning.

It was self catering. The location was perfect. Added the beauty of the surroundings.

Drakensbergen are magnificent, 3 nights where way to short to explore and also relax a bit (which we both like on vacations). Accomodation is on top of the mountain and blends in very nicely. You just walk out to join a hiking trail. Nice beds,...

I liked everything though it wasn't enough, the stay was too short but definitely we'll be back soon.
