Isaac C.
We left three days before our booking ended, at 7pm, but still paid for three unused nights. The views and decor couldn’t make up for a night without sleep: the main bed in the Sapphire Room was painfully hard, and the tiny, soft second bed seemed made for a toddler rather than an adult. We woke with aching backs and hips. When we raised it with the manager, we were offered another equally firm bed or a duvet on top. There was no real fix or compensation, and being told there had been no earlier complaints left us feeling as if we were the fussy ones. The room’s talk of sapphire crystals and their supposed healing properties felt pretty ironic while we were hurting. If sleeping on a hard slab sounds fine to you, the quirky decor and pretty views are there, but it wasn’t the restful Drakensberg break we wanted.

Autumn made the setting especially lovely, with colours that were breathtaking. The staff were so welcoming that I felt at home, and we had one of the best burgers ever at Charlie’s. Can’t wait to return.

The lodge felt like home, with lots of room and a cozy, clean, comfortable bedroom. The hot shower was strong and had plenty of water. The lady on staff was super friendly, and the service felt five-star. Best guest house we’ve stayed at in SA, would definitely recommend!

Our stay itself was pleasant, but my husband really wanted to watch golf and only some channels were available. The restaurant wasn’t great either, with just three white wines to choose from. Bring your own wine, and be prepared to pay a lot for what you get.

The setting is beautiful, and the place shows real attention to detail. We’d gladly come back, and I highly recommend it.
