Cayley Mountain Resort
8.4 (43 reviews)

Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★

📍 D184, Cathkin Park

"The road to the resort was terrible. The service was not up to standard. The room had no wifi at all. A sense of ****** was noticed on several occasions. On the positive side the rooms were clean and comfortable. Don't go if you don't have a suitable vehicle for the gravel road."

Three Tree Hill Lodge
10 (40 reviews)

Three Tree Hill Lodge ★★★★

📍 Rhenosterfontein Farm, Bergville

"An understated and unpretentious lodge with charming atmosphere and staff. The comfortable rooms had fabulous views. The battlefield tours were fantastic with Pierre, our guide. The lodge had Boer War memorabilia dotted around to add to the interest. The food was innovative and delicious and the wine selection excellent. A weekend to remember !"

Little Switzerland Resort by Dream Resorts ★★★★

📍 R74 Oliviershoek Pass Northern Drakensberg, Bergville

"We loved our 6 night stay. All the staff are so friendly and attentive from the minute you drive through the gate. We had the breakfast and dinner option and were pleasantly surprised each night with the excellent meals and variety. Our Mountain View room was extremely comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. We loved the hikes that start at the resort. No need to drive anywhere to do hikes. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend this resort!"

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort
8.4 (4 reviews)

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort ★★★

📍 off R74, Bergville

"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."

Cathedral Peak Hotel
9.0 (68 reviews)

Cathedral Peak Hotel ★★★★

📍 R394 Cathedral Peak Hotel Cathedral Peak, Gaints Castle Game Reserve

"What a special place - we were married at Cathedral Peak 25 years ago and visited in August 2026 with my Parents and Son. We were lucky to have been there when it snowed which was awesome and so beautiful. The service from booking to our stay was fantastic. I really love that everything is how it always was - with excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, wonderful hikes, and comfortable rooms. Highly recommended. "

Royal Hotel Ladysmith ★★★

📍 140 Murchison St, Ladysmith

"We went for a Christmas Lunch the food was so tasteless, the only thing I enjoyed was the starters. Whooo the buttered chicken was terrible. The only thing that was better on their main meal was the pork and lamb the rest was horibble. I just wasted my money what Ana awful. Christmas I had😔"

Memra Guest House

Memra Guest House ★★★

📍 14 St Augustine Ave, Ladysmith

"We booked in for 2 nights on the 23rd and 24th of September. Our host Magda was warm and welcoming even at a 23h00 check in. She was so obliging and walked down to the guest room with milk, tea, sugar and coffee in hand to check us in. The room, kitchenette and bathroom was exceptionally clean. We were never asked for payment at any stage of our stay. I would highly recommend Memra Regards Charlton "

Aha Alpine Heath Resort Hotels in Uthukela DC

Aha Alpine Heath Resort

"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."

Nambiti Plains Hotels in Uthukela DC

Nambiti Plains

"We stayed five nights at Nambiti Plains Lodge and had the time of our lives. Safari is such a unique experience and we really wanted to make sure that we had the most organised and luxurious experience possible. Nambiti Plains Lodge we’re so thoughtful, so organised, and so attentive it was almost incredible. The staff know exactly where and when to see game, and we had ticked off the big five within two days of arriving at the lodge. We managed to see all of the animals possible, multiple times and from different angles. Our driver, Jono, was always pushing to go out longer and see more game. Your experience greatly depends on your driver, and we had such an amazing time because of Jono. All of the lodge staff were fantastic, the rooms were clean and spacious, the food was unbelievable, and the whole experience I seriously doubt can be matched by other lodges"

Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★
"We stayed there during one of the coldest weeks in June and had NO proper hot water for 5 DAYS. Only 2 people out of 5 could shower each day, the rest of us froze. We complained daily. And guess what? Nothing was done. Hendrick (Resort Manager) and Paseka (Front Desk Manager) were completely useless. They didn’t care, didn’t act, didn’t resolve anything. To "compensate" us, they sent a ridiculous WhatsApp offering a head and shoulder massage for 2 people. WE WERE 5! That’s not compensation — it’s an insult. We replied… and they’ve ignored us ever since. This was supposed to be a holiday. Instead, we spent our time chasing after staff who clearly couldn’t be bothered. We’re seriously angry and disappointed. 💬 And no, we don’t want another “sorry to hear about your experience” response. We want accountability and proper compensation. 🔥 Avoid Cayley Lodge. If something goes wrong, don’t expect help — because their management just doesn’t care. #TravelWarning #CayleyLodge #Drakensberg #HolidayFail #CustomerServiceFail #NeverAgain"

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel ★★★
"We decided on The Nest for a family reunion and we couldn't have made a better choice. Stuart and Shelley and all their staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. As bowlers we also enjoyed playing on championship standard greens, expertly maintained by Theuns and his team (and Shelley you are a great bowls partner as well). The food was excellent and the accommodation was clean and comfortable albeit a little dated - but that just adds to the charm of the place. A great time was had by us all and hopefully we'll be back one day!"

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort ★★★
"The resort is beautifully designed with the full view of the majestic Amphitheater, the very spacious, well equipped chalets are so peaceful and with good distance to the other chalets to keep your stay privately. The private braai and esp. the hot tub are a real plus and very enjoyable. Breakfast buffet is very good, the staff are so helpful and friendly, although the pancakes were very different on 2 different days (no critics there😀 - one world-class, one good average), good portions and fresh, maybe a professional coffee/espresso-machine could be a perfect addition. We did also a challenging hike up to Sentinel Peak/Tugela Falls via the chain ladders which were thrustfully and professionally arranged and accompanied by Lunga on recommendation by the General Manager, Anton, who is the mastermind behind all the organization and communication in the resort. With his life experience and communication skills he lifts all other staff, esp. at reception to a new level which made our stay really a highlight of our trip, thanks again!"
