The house is so nice with a great view on the drinking spot where you can see lots of animals. All the rooms are so lovely with a nice view on the drinking spot too. Also the food was great. And all the staff are so nice and lovely to talk to.

The view of the Drakensberg mountain range is absolutely breath-taking. The service was excellent, amazing food. Absolutely refreshing, healing and revitalising holiday experience. Thanks to the staff for hosting us, we are struggling with the reality of driving back to the city.

This nice and modern Hotel/ Villa is the perfect balance between peace, privacy, and a touch of luxury. Tucked away in a secluded mountainous region, it offers a stunning panoramic view at every hour of the day—from golden sunrise to glowing sunset. Service is truly outstanding—friendly, discreet, and always attentive without being intrusive. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home, and the culinary experience is equally exceptional. Fresh, flavorful meals are crafted with care and served with a personal touch.

We spent two wonderful days at this hotel in April. A fantastic location in the bush, breathtaking views, and loving hosts who fulfilled our every wish. With a view of the watering hole with zebras, wild boars, monkeys, and more, we enjoyed wonderful breakfasts and dinners. A place to feel good. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, animals, peace, and relaxation. If we ever travel to this wonderful country again, this hotel will be our number one choice.

The most luxurious accomodation I have ever stayed at. The staff and manager are 150%. The views amazing, inclusive of the watering hole and its visitors (baboons, zebra, kudu). Visible from the luxury living & dining areas. I cannot see how this place could be any better.

Wow Wow Wow. We were really excited to stat at UmVangati House, and the 5 star reviews are a testament to the service which Lidia, Giel, Jacob and Sonia all provide from start to finish. We were travelling to South Africa for a once in a lifetime holiday, with a stop in the Green Canyon. The House were able to arrange various activities whilst we were staying with them, including a spectacular tour of the Panorama route (with lunch included); a horseback ride to a private vantage point a the Three Rondawels; and, a private helicopter tour for two (including a picnic(!) prepared by the team at UmVangati to have on a short stop) over the Green Canyon. To top it off, the helicopter was able to land close to the house! This was truly spectacular! We opted for dinner on the both nights that we were staying at umVangati, which we'd highly recommend. Make sure you ask to see the wine cellar, as it's incredible. The food was lovingly prepared by the team and has a really playful cuisine feel, something you'd expect to see in a high-end restaurant in London for a very reasonable price. It was one of the best meals we had in South Africa across our 10 day visit to the country - so a huge credit to the team here. We'd originally booked the King room, but Sonia managed to persuade us to upgrade to a Mountain View Suite on our day of arrival - and it was worth the upgrade just for the view of the mountain and the private balcony (although we didn't have much time to use it!). We cannot recommend umVangati enough - the only thing we'd change was making sure we had even longer there, as two days is not enough time to enjoy the beauty and loving hospitality that awaits you.
