Our stay had its ups and downs. The hotel offers a beautiful lake view and nice dining options, but the entrance road was extremely muddy, which caused us trouble. The rooms were mostly comfortable, but we experienced some service hiccups that could have been improved. Overall, it's a decent option if you want to relax without any major adventures.

I had a pleasant two-night stay at this hotel. The rooms were decent, and the bathroom had a fantastic shower. The staff was very friendly, and both dinner and breakfast were enjoyable. While the hotel serves as a good base for exploring the Drakensberg, it doesn't offer a luxurious experience. Overall, it provided good value for money, but it's not overly spectacular.
