The special touches they arranged for our honeymoon made our stay even more memorable and meant so much to us. Our room was amazing, the food was excellent, and the entire experience was simply exceptional. There is honestly nothing we could fault.

Aha Alpine Heath Resort ★★★★

📍 D119 Jagersrust Northern Drakensberg, Bergville

"From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the most breathtaking mountain views and peaceful atmosphere. The resort is beautifully maintained, the units are spacious and comfortable, and everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel relaxed and at home. The attention to detail truly stood out — from the warm hospitality to the little extras that made our stay feel so special. There is so much to do for families, yet it still feels calm and restorative. It’s the perfect balance between fun and rest. For our family, this was more than just a weekend away. It was a much-needed break in a challenging season of life, and the memories we made there will stay with us forever. Watching my children laugh, explore, and just be carefree in such a safe and beautiful environment meant the world to me. If you are looking for a place to truly unwind, reconnect, and breathe again, Alpine Heath is a gem in the Drakensberg. We will cherish this experience for years to come."

Dragon Peaks Mountain Resort Hotels in Uthukela DC

Dragon Peaks Mountain Resort

"This is a beautiful campsite with hard working friendly staff but it is terribly managed. The facilities are run down. The washing machines are broken. The doors don’t close on the toilets. The showers are luke warm. There are no plugs in the sinks for dish washing or clothes washing. The children’s activities only happened when we asked specifically why they weren’t taking place. The restaurant staff are over stretched and we waited 90 mins for average food. The only guests are those who’ve been coming for decades, ignore the rules around music and parties, and seem blind to the declining facilities. New comers like us won’t be returning. Such a shame when the location is beautiful and this was once clearly a much better managed location."

Sandford Park Country Hotel Hotels in Uthukela DC

Sandford Park Country Hotel

"Faded glory on this site, which is truly terribly poorly maintained. A green water pool with broken furniture and peeling paint. Everything smelled musty. Bathroom with mold, missing tiles, and a broken toilet seat. The only positive thing was the service from the staff. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but moved on after 1 night. Don't go here!"

Drakensberg Mountain Retreat Hotels in Uthukela DC

Drakensberg Mountain Retreat

"Great welcome, very pleasant and helpful staff - nothing too much trouble, waymarked trails easy to follow and great exercise and views, "

Memra Guest House Hotels in Uthukela DC

Memra Guest House

"We booked in for 2 nights on the 23rd and 24th of September. Our host Magda was warm and welcoming even at a 23h00 check in. She was so obliging and walked down to the guest room with milk, tea, sugar and coffee in hand to check us in. The room, kitchenette and bathroom was exceptionally clean. We were never asked for payment at any stage of our stay. I would highly recommend Memra Regards Charlton "

"Everything was good for a stay over. Matrass was on the hard side. Restaurant food was very good. Will consider again."

Nambiti Plains Hotels in Uthukela DC

Nambiti Plains

"We recently spent 3 nights at Nambiti Plains in July 2026, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely blown away. The location is fantastic, and the rooms and surrounding views are quite literally breathtaking. The Safari Experience: A massive highlight of our trip was our guide, Cait, nicknamed "Cait the Great"! She is extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure every single game drive was unforgettable. She really did her absolute best to track down the specific animals we were hoping to see. We also had the pleasure of meeting Jono and Danzel, who were fantastic game drivers as well. The Lodge & Hospitality The entire staff was amazing and made us feel so incredibly welcome. A huge thank you to: - Magdel and Bettie, who run the lodge seamlessly and ensure every guest has a perfect stay. - Cindy, Mobasa, and Precious, who took phenomenal care of us in the main lodge and kept our room immaculate. - Roy and Siyanda, who kept us well-fed from the kitchen! Pro Tip: If you ask Roy nicely, he might just treat you to some extra culinary surprises! We definitely recommend booking at least a 3-night stay to fully soak in everything this wonderful place has to offer. It was the perfect amount of time to relax and see the wildlife. If we are ever lucky enough to travel back to South Africa, Nambiti Plains will undoubtedly be the very first stop on our list. Thank you to the whole team for a trip of a lifetime!"

Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★
"Beautiful part of the country. Adequate accommodation. Peaceful setting. Relaxing atmosphere. There is a Day Spa, a convenience store, restaurant and bar, and numerous fun facilities for entertaining the entire family. Unfortunately, the beach area was being furbished when we visited."

Cathedral Peak Hotel ★★★★
"In Nov 2025 My beautiful wife and I had the absolute honour of getting married at Cathedral Peak Hotel. Zamile who was our wedding co-ordinator blew us away with her professionalism, smile, character, capabilities and the miles she went to to make our wedding, accommodation, atmosphere and our experience world class! She, Cathedral Peak Hotel and all staff will forever be ingrained into our memories with the utmost level of pride!❤🤝🤘 Also a special thanks for Michelle, who runs the great little curio shop, your store is always warm even on the coldest of days. She runs the curio shop professionally, cleanly and warmheartedly, thanks for the numerous times we spent in there!🥳🤙 After our wedding at Cathedral Peak Hotel, we decided instead of Mozambique, to go back to Cathedral Peak Hotel for our Honeymoon which took place in December 2025. Once again Zamile and team went above and beyond to facilitate and accommodate our Honeymoon. I am sure by now that Zamile could do the Comrades as the extra miles she go to to ensure everything is always perfect and nothing is left to chance! Michelle again with her curio shop always ensured that our constant visits to the shop was always welcomed, sincere and and wholesome. She even borrowed me her personal little pliers to help me easily remove my fly hooks from the trout mouths that i caught while fly fishing. While at this stage we found out that we are also pregnant, Zamile and Michelle and staff ensured the extra safety, relaxation and compassion towards my wife! These are things you cannot buy! Cathedral Peak Hotel and staff, what an experience, with all our love, thank you! Sincere Wicus & Chantel"

Aha Alpine Heath Resort ★★★★
"The star of this resort is its staff. From the day we arrived every single person we encountered were always pleasant and helpful. We didn't see any managers of the resort. The food is average but freshly made. There is a little shop which has all the basics you might need. Lovely free entertainment for the family. Just a lovely vibe. The units are well stocked but in desperate need of an upgrade, the units were cleaned everyday very well. But the general condition of the units need a good deep clean. There's lots of lovely walks on the property and we enjoyed the horse riding and shooting activities. Overall a lovely trip and I do hope they invest in upgrading for future visits."

"This is another stunning place to choose from. Drakensberg has so much variety. You get confused when it comes making a choice of where to stay. A night or two in this beautiful hotel will be worth it. It also has stunning views. Staff was helpful"
