Independent hotels in Drakensberg Mountains, South Africa

"Mattresses must be changed. Suites are very nice, and modern. Reeds should be cut to give view of lake. Staff are very helpful."

"Friendly staff, clean rooms, good food, but you cannot beat the location! "

"Very good room"

"Clean room, personal touch and great service. Thanks Roger for making us feel right at home."

"We all loved the cabin ...bed comfort was fine and internet was okay. The amazing views and walks I really enjoyed. Everyone was friendly and our cabin was cleaned up each day thanks to the staff. I wouldnt hesitate to book again. Thanks for the lovely week at Elands Valley Resort."

"We had a 1 night stay over at the Golden Gate hotel. We initially thought we booked at the hotel but was surprised that we had booked a chalet. The chalet was perfect with its own braai (BBQ) outside and all the amenities required for a proper self catering experience. Would definitely stay there again as it about a 15 minute scenic drive to Clarens."

"Wonderful hotel with friendly attentive staff, excellent food and tremendous access to hiking trails. That we were able to get petrol on the property was such a welcome surprise."

"Great property in a wonderful location. Food was excellent, accomodation well designed, clean and comfortable and all staff were friendly and helpful. Good base for exploring the Royal Natal Park but don’t miss the walks on the property."

"This place is a small piece of heaven! Great service from all staff right from the very beginning. Before arrival - Comms were timely and accurate and helpful. The meals provided were great (especially the Oxtail stew! 😋) and delivered to your individual lodge. The situation of the lodge is beautiful - wherever you look the scenery transfixes you. Ideally placed for a trip over the Sani Pass and the ability to get close to nature with the resident game herds is second to none. Simply a superb place."
