We had lunch at the highest pub in Africa and the food was excellent. The views were incredible and the staff were friendly :)

Superb location, 2 min walk from border post. Friendly staff, great meals and the cosiest rondawels each with their own coal stove.

A charming lodge in a really beautiful place. Rondavels are very atmospheric, with a working fire place. Nights are cold but there was a hot water bottle which stayed warm the whole night (no idea how that’s possible…). Food was a disappointment though - especially the lamb main for dinner which was like a piece of rubber. The drive down to South Africa is fun. You don’t need a 4x4 when conditions are dry, but definitely need high clearance.

A nightmare!!!! Inaccurate directions and poor communication led to us missing our reservation, and having to hitchhike up a mountain because there was no taxi service at the border as they said multiple times there would be. They agreed to give a refund, but have been running Me around the ringer since. 8 months later and still no refund.

Important to know: I stayed in the Sani Top Backpacker. During the day this place is full of people, but when all the day tourists leave it is beautiful up there. Easy to explore. I had the backpacker's for myself which was nice. The kitchen is well equipped. The only issue there was were frozen pipes and therefore no running water. But there was a filled water tank which was enough for myself. My room was small but the bed was comfy and warm; so enough for me. The staff was really nice and helpful. They helped me to figure out my route the next day as I was travelling independently and without a car through Lesotho. My evening I spend in the pub with guests from the lodge. We gathered around the fire and had a good night.

Where to start.... they gave us wrong information how to get up there. We ended up missing the reservation because they told us we could just park at the border and take a taxi from there. Now I've spent 5 months trying to get our money back for their mistake, and they continue to ask for my BANK ACCOUNT AND ROUTING NUMBER instead of refunding to my card, and say that they are unsure why I'm uncomfortable providing this information via text

On arrival we had to complete forms for each person before being taken to our rondavel. We had booked Double rooms and two rooms were Twins so staff had to come in and remake the beds. Bar was warm and festive. Dinner was for 7pm and we eventually sat down just before 8pm. Food was good, chicken soup was very good. Salads - to me was unnecessary on an ice cold night, but others enjoyed it. The roast and veggies were lovely, sadly the pork chops were dried out but i think the problem was the bain-marie was far too hot. Breakfast was average - once again the bain-marie was too hot. Staff were friendly; For the price we paid we definitely expected a better experience, thankfully the views made up for everything else.
