Cathedral Peak Hotel ★★★★

📍 R394 Cathedral Peak Hotel Cathedral Peak, Gaints Castle Game Reserve

"What a special place - we were married at Cathedral Peak 25 years ago and visited in August 2026 with my Parents and Son. We were lucky to have been there when it snowed which was awesome and so beautiful. The service from booking to our stay was fantastic. I really love that everything is how it always was - with excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, wonderful hikes, and comfortable rooms. Highly recommended. "

Nauntons Guest House & Wedding Venue ★★★★

📍 N11 Newcastle Road, Ladysmith

"An excellent overnight stop or even a short stay. Nothing to difficult for owners. We were booked to stay on a Saturday night in July. We realized enroute that we would arrive around 10am and decided to phone and find out if we could postpone our booking till 23 Aug. Absolutely no prob, it was done. Then we left Kruger 3 days early so phoned them again to find out if we could change booking to 21 Aug. No problem. Thanks to them there are not many Guest Homes that would be so accommodating. Well done. Food also delicious. Ample safe parking even if you towing a caravan."

Cayley Mountain Resort

Cayley Mountain Resort ★★★★

📍 D184, Cathkin Park

"The Drakensberg is truly one of the wonders of the world. The Lodge is well kept and pristine. There was some work being undertaken during our stay and seems they are expanding. During this time, we did not notice any construction noise before 8am and after 5pm. The are enough facilities on the lodge to keep you busy on the site. The Lodge is also well located in the area to explore other sites around the area. The Lodge has parking available - it is allocated per unit. The check in was quick and easy. Take extra few bags of wood with you if you like to light fires. They sell it at the reception. There is parking at your Unit - right outside. We had a self catering unit. The appliances were all new and modern. There was everything we needed. The rooms were all en-suite - well partitioned off - so each family member could retire to their room and get away and relax if they wanted to The cleaning service was fantastic and professional. The towels were great size. The Jacuzzi was an added bonus and great for relaxing after a day of hiking or tourism. Stop off at the Thokozani Tourism Info Centre and ask for advice on planning your trip around the area. They are such lovely people offering great insights and advice about routes. The journey between sites can be quite long. The SPA: Outstanding! There is an onsite spa. The team is fantastic and they have such a wonderful spirit of making you feel relaxed. Book in advance if you doing more than one massage. The service is professional and the massages were great. There is only one steam room so you share with your friends or family."

Little Switzerland Resort by Dream Resorts

Little Switzerland Resort by Dream Resorts ★★★★

📍 R74 Oliviershoek Pass Northern Drakensberg, Bergville

"We loved our 6 night stay. All the staff are so friendly and attentive from the minute you drive through the gate. We had the breakfast and dinner option and were pleasantly surprised each night with the excellent meals and variety. Our Mountain View room was extremely comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. We loved the hikes that start at the resort. No need to drive anywhere to do hikes. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend this resort!"

Montusi Mountain Lodge
9.7 (43 reviews)

Montusi Mountain Lodge ★★★★

📍 D119, Northern Drakensberg, Bergville

"A very pleasant lodge with some fantastic views. We enjoyed our stay here but didn't love it. Our lodge was not at all private with guests frequently walking past our windows/terrace. We had to keep our curtains partially shut for the duration of our stay. Our lodge was however spacious, clean and functional. The swimming pool was a little too "murky" for our liking so we didn't venture in! The staff took a little time to "warm up", but were overall friendly and efficient, whilst the food was very good with tailored menus for dietary preferences. The location itself was very good as there were some very enjoyable self guided marked trails and guided walks. It also wasn't far to drive to the Royal Natal Maloti Park (World Heritage Site) and the amazing but quite challenging (in parts) Tugela Falls Gorge Trail. We were lucky with the weather, but with locations such as this there isn't much to do if it is raining! Overall we enjoyed our visit and whilst everything was well presented, the lodge itself lacked a certain amount of atmosphere. An enjoyable stay with some reservations."

"We just returned from Alpine Heath after another absolutely amazing vacation - thank you once again Alpine team for your warm welcome, from the security at the gate to the helpers - each and every one of you are absolutely amazing. We will see you again later in the year...."

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel
8.0 (47 reviews)

The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel ★★★

📍 Drakensberg, R600, Ardmore

"We decided on The Nest for a family reunion and we couldn't have made a better choice. Stuart and Shelley and all their staff were friendly, courteous and very helpful. As bowlers we also enjoyed playing on championship standard greens, expertly maintained by Theuns and his team (and Shelley you are a great bowls partner as well). The food was excellent and the accommodation was clean and comfortable albeit a little dated - but that just adds to the charm of the place. A great time was had by us all and hopefully we'll be back one day!"

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort Hotels in Uthukela DC

Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort

"The resort is beautifully designed with the full view of the majestic Amphitheater, the very spacious, well equipped chalets are so peaceful and with good distance to the other chalets to keep your stay privately. The private braai and esp. the hot tub are a real plus and very enjoyable. Breakfast buffet is very good, the staff are so helpful and friendly, although the pancakes were very different on 2 different days (no critics there😀 - one world-class, one good average), good portions and fresh, maybe a professional coffee/espresso-machine could be a perfect addition. We did also a challenging hike up to Sentinel Peak/Tugela Falls via the chain ladders which were thrustfully and professionally arranged and accompanied by Lunga on recommendation by the General Manager, Anton, who is the mastermind behind all the organization and communication in the resort. With his life experience and communication skills he lifts all other staff, esp. at reception to a new level which made our stay really a highlight of our trip, thanks again!"

Windmill Farm ★★★★
"Windmill Farm has beautiful cottages that are very clean, well looked after and mantained. The location is fantastic, situated on top of a hill overlooking the Drakensberg Mountains, so the views were amazing. Its also very quiet and peaceful, making it very cosy and relaxing place to stay. I would definately come back here again. My only recommendation is to consider replacing the beds, as they are a little old and not the most comfortable. I had just come back from a hike and was really looking forward to resting and relaxing, so a more comfortable bed would have made the experiance even better. That said, it was not a major issue, and I still thoroughly enjoyed my stay."
