📍 D184, Cathkin Park
★★★★ 8.4 (44 reviews)

"We had a well rested and peaceful week. The apartment was beautiful and spacious. I'm disappointed that we didn't have a balcony and the braai area was inside the house. Spend the day at the beach club the kids had fun but there were limited activities for us (the pedal boat were not working). We also did afternoon boat cruise, the skipper was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the pap and relish it was divine. Dragon was helpful with the kids and braaing. We are definitely coming back."

📍 D119 Jagersrust Northern Drakensberg, Bergville
★★★★ 8.4 (43 reviews)

"I had the opportunity to stay for a week at aha Alpine Heath, nestled on the hills of the Northern Drankensburg. It was like heaven on earth. The place is beautiful, well kept, the food is great, with a mix of local traditional dishes to international cuisines. The challets style accommodation is perfect for family or for a romantic getawa or even business travel. There are plenty of activities onsite but ill recomment the hiking. The site of the lodge from one of the hills in the hiking trail is breathtaking. The staff also, they are great, they make you feel like you are at home with your brothers and sisters. I'll recommend Alpine Heath anyday for anyone visiting the Northern Drankensburg."

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort

📍 off R74, Bergville
★★★ 8.4 (3 reviews)

"I booked three chalets (from Australia for family reunion in SA after 3 years) for 27 -29 December 2024 which turned out to be a disaster. Late check in (4-5 hours late), rooms were not cleaned, and toilet was not working. No wifi. I almost wanted to book an additional night or two, however did not. There was no offer to compensate the poor service and mismanagement of this facility, nor refund for delays and poor facilities. It's a pity that such a beautiful location is mismanaged and misrepresented. Trust and service will take time to re-build. Your future is not good."

Montusi Mountain Lodge Hotels in Uthukela DC

Montusi Mountain Lodge

"An absolute gem! I fell in love with this piece of heaven and didn’t want to leave. We experienced hospitality at its finest—warm & personalized, with attention paid to every small detail. From being greeted by name, receiving refreshing mocktails, and a quick tour of the lodge on arrival, to kind gestures in our chalet; a welcome note & gift of scrumptious cookies, to thoughtful touches of home-baked rusks, umbrellas, swimming towels, and water bottles. The lodge blends luxury with a welcoming, unpretentious charm. It is smaller than other berg hotels, - creating an intimate and peaceful setting with breathtaking views. While we didn’t go horse-riding, we witnessed a 10 day old foal with its mom, (my heart!) swam in the stunning pool and went on a few well-marked hiking trails, accompanied by friendly knowledgeable guides. Dinners were delicious, and beautifully presented. All their staff were exceptional in their service and interactions with us."

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel Hotels in Uthukela DC

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel

"We had such an incredible stay at The Nest! The staff went above and beyond to make our family celebration truly special. We were a group of 8 spanning three generations, gathered to celebrate a 21st birthday, and every detail was perfect. The rooms were spotless, with super comfortable beds, electric blankets, and underfloor heating — plus hot, powerful showers. We enjoyed scenic walks, abundant birdlife, and the spa was an added treat with very reasonable prices. A memorable, happy stay — thank you to The Nest team!"

Atkv Drakensville

"We generally camp when at Drakensville, it was the first time we stayed in a chalet. The chalet was spacious, clean and very nice inside. It was lovely to get the unit serviced every day and they even washed the dishes. We did not even have to provide our own toilet paper so we felt quite spoilt. We really enjoyed our weekend."

Sandford Park Country Hotel Hotels in Uthukela DC

Sandford Park Country Hotel

"The overlook exterior look needs some tlc…..simple things like cutting grass, security uniform even gold shirts so its easy to recognise that this is security and this is housekeeping staff and so forth… Room was okay for the amount we paid but there was no 2 pin plug so we could charge our phones, no telephone to call reception to enquire, we needed an iron and an ironing board , we were given a small dirty iron with no ironing board because it broke. Luckily we didn’t experience loadshedding as there was no back up."

Three Tree Hill Lodge Hotels in Uthukela DC

Three Tree Hill Lodge

"I don’t think my wife could have selected for us a better location. From the accommodation, friendly, attentive staff and the general ambiance of Three Tree Hill, It delivered everything we were hoping for and we took the opportunity of taking their Battlefield tours, horse riding and walks. My wife focused on relaxing with a book next to our little pool as well as horse riding, whilst I took all three of their local battlefield tours, The battles of Ladysmith, Colenso and Spionkop. I was taken on those tours by both Ruben and Simon the owner. Both of them did a fantastic job and I especially enjoyed the laminated photos of many of the individuals that were involved in the battles, which really allowed me to connect the men to the history. Whilst Spionkop is very special, doing all three tours allowed me to understand the bigger picture. Thank you to everyone at Three Tree Hill, we will definitely be returning."

Nambiti Plains Hotels in Uthukela DC

Nambiti Plains

"Our stay at Nambiti Plains was absolutely unforgettable and the perfect honeymoon destination. Magdel and Betty were amazing and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Sindy and Mabaso made every meal a joy, and Roy and Siyanda’s food was absolutely delicious. The rooms were beautiful and the entire lodge was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the bush. A special thank you to Phillip, our guide, who was phenomenal and truly took our experience to the next level with his knowledge, passion, and care. This was the best bush trip we have ever had and will be incredibly hard to top. We are so glad we chose Nambiti Plains for our honeymoon and will treasure these memories forever."

Drakensberg Sun Resort Hotels in Uthukela DC

Drakensberg Sun Resort

"The service at the restaurant is excellent. Every single staff member was accommodating and friendly. Check in was great except for Rashida who is very friendly with certain race groups and not so much with others. Enquiring about the water was met with a frown and blunt answer when I chatted to her. The rooms on the ground floor are nice but the noise levels outside was disturbing. I would prefer a quieter, higher room in future. While the rooms were relatively clean, there was hair from the previous occupants in the bathroom and towel and the counters had coffee stains which I had to wipe. The carpets do need a deep clean as they feel grimes underfoot and we insisted on my child keeping her shoes on. The hotel is old and needs some maintenance. The reception couches need some cleaning. The buffet was dismal on Friday night but there was improvement on Saturday night. I would rate the hotel 3 star and with some minor tweaks, and more care I believe it can be restored to its former glory. Well done to the ground staff as the gardens and pool area are beautifully maintained."

Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★
"The location is in a perfect place. We went at the end of June hoping to see some snow. But to our surprise it was actually really warm during this time. We stayed in the 4 sleeper chalet which was huge for just the two of us. We absolutely loved it. We bought someone's timeshare through IExhange so it was definitely value for money. The resort is very very clean with friendly staff and is the perfect getaway if you're looking for a place the the mountains to get away from the bustling city. Our favorite amenity was The View. Its amazing if you just want to chill, Cayley beach club is just as awesome but I think there are much more activities during peak season as we visited off peak season."
