It was absolutely amazing!!! The managers Paul and Patricia were so nice and kind, they were always there to help. The food was an absolutely amazing!!! We had so much fun. The horses were there so we could pet them, there were so many hiking options, and there was so much more we could do. The rooms were so nice, we had so much fun in the rooms. If you ever have the chance to go to the Drakensburg Mountain Retreat, you should take it.

Gorgeous location. The hosts, Paul and Patricia were warm, welcoming and friendly and made us feel right at home. Our little pet Yorkie had a ball of a time. Will be visiting again soon.

We had a fabulous stay and were well looked after in every way. It's a perfect place to get away from the business of life and enjoy the beauty, peace and tranquility of the area with lovely managers taking care of everything.

I did not receive the access code to enter through the main gate. I sat in the rain for more than half an hour hoping some would spot me on the camera I eventually had to climb over the gate in the rain I eventually stumbled upon a house where the lady phoned the lodge on my behalf (There was no cell phone reception at the gate) My recommendation is that they should install a bell / intercom The walking trails are in a neglected state I walked the Dragons Spine trail only to find that the trail was totally overgrown and blocked at one point. This forced me to turn back after nearly getting to the top of the mountain. My recommendation is that the trails should be checked at least once a month Paul and Patricia are very gracious hosts My overall impression was good except for the above comments

The Retreat is a unique place. The setting is superb and the colonial feel to the property is special. Paul and Patricia were very helpful in offering advise regarding hikes, the mountains and travel. All staff were attentive and the food good.

We had a wonderful stay with Paul and Patricia our hosts. We stayed in The Barn and it was very spacious and rustic, which suited our family and friends. We had our catering handled by the team at Drakensberg Mountain Retreat and everything was handled nicely so we could all just relax. The short walk was very scenic and some ventured to do the 7km trail run too. An afternoon spent with the kids near the upper dams was very memorable too as mud, water and fun was enjoyed.
