Our Dragonview was fantastic. We had an amazing holiday. The service from the management team and all the staff was workd-class. The food at the restaurant is delicious. The menu has good variety. The view is absolutely magnificent. The layout of the hotel is great. The entertainment for the kids is more than sufficient, between a rock pool, indoor pool, foosball table arcade, and PlayStation for the older kids and a very creative and fun playground area for smaller kids. You cannot go wrong booking at this hotel.

The rooms were very nice and clean. The beds were excellent and so were the pillows. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was brilliant. We also had dinner and that was lovely. Our main reason for staying over was to play golf and a halfway house on route to Umhlanga

We absolutely loved our stay at Brahman Hills. The property is absolutely stunning. We loved the peace and tranquility the property had to offer. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs. The food was delicious. We loved the personal touch left in our room when we entered. that was really delightful. we took drives to explore the property which was splendid. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Our family loved everything about this resort. It's our third year coming and the staff, resort amenities and the chalet itself were exceptional. There are activities available for all ages and all interests. The restaurant has a good menu and the food and service are excellent. We highly recommend Alpine Heath.

What I liked:

What I liked: The scenery is absolutely spectacular, with picture-perfect views in every direction. There is an impressive variety of activities to enjoy, many of which don’t involve hiking or climbing the mountains, making the area suitable for everyone. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning landscapes alone make it well worth the visit. What I didn’t like: The roads into the valley are in relatively poor condition, so allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes for travel. I would also recommend withdrawing cash at the ATM in Winterton before entering the valley, as the local ATMs frequently run out of cash. Neither issue detracted from the experience, but planning ahead will make your trip more enjoyable.

The Southern Berg is so often overlooked - but is by far the most magical area for family holidays. Central to many resorts - the activities are plentiful. For hiking and swims in unspoilt mountain streams - I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The Bergville area is superb in terms of beauty.

The Bergville area is superb in terms of beauty. The town centre is a shambles of traffic and pedestrians with little or no control. The main intersection in the centre seems as if it's supposed to be a circle of sorts, with a small very faded white drawn circle in the centre. Surely the municipality could do better than that? Traffic flow is confusing. The centre of Bergville has become a third world town though the suburbs are still quiet and nice.

Beautiful Little Town , with lots of friendly stops and things to do/see. I love the small-town aspect of it, as it doesn't feel too commercial. some really special little coffee stops, with immaculate views. A friendly and well appointed town in general, with everything you need.

Winterton itself is a very small town with limited shopping facilities. Coffe shops limited but nice. Beware of expecting too much in the way of supermarket and grocery availability in Winterton. The Superspar was the lowest quality Spar I have ever been to, the fresh food section had old and wilted lettuce, rotten tomotoes, cucumbers that were soft and mushy and all veges infact that looked very suspect. I would carry all grocery and vege supplies that you need. No ready packed salads or anything like that. Overall the spar was not clean and looked like a helath hazard for food and stocks.
