The hotel is warm, cozy and has a welcoming wintery ambience. The English Breakfast was scrumptious. Our self catering apartment was very clean. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. There is also daily complimentary boat rides and afternoon noon. Outside of the hotel there are also farm shops, bakery, religious site and other amenities.

We came to the Drakensburg Sun to celebrate a 50th birthday and this was one of the BEST long weekends simply because the hotel staff were awesome! From the restaurant to housekeeping to reception! They went out of their way for us and made us feel very special. The attention to detail, ever smiling and just all around kindness and generosity of spirit. Thank you!!!!
