Situated high on a ridge overlooking the magnificent Drakensberg and Maluti Mountains, many have said that the views from Drakensberg Mountain retreat are unsurpassed. It offers much more than comfortable, affordable country-style accommodation. Spectacular views, vast spaces, wild winds (and horses) together with superb walks where one might come across Cape Eland and other species of game, make it the perfect place to experience the beauty and magnificence of this sought-after region. The deep silences, unfamiliar at first, will soon work their magic rejuvenating body and mind. This is indeed a place to relax, unwind, take stock and find peace.
It is also a haven for those who like old-fashioned, relaxing holidays with excellent home-style cooking, reading near the fireplace, playing cards and board games, contributing to the communal jigsaw puzzle and creating wonderful memories with family and friends.
To sum it up, getting to Drakensberg Mountain Retreat takes you on the road less travelled, winding its way to the edge of the escarpment, away from the hustle and bustle, and into the calm and quiet of the mountains. It is the perfect base from which individuals, families or groups can experience the grandeur of the mighty Northern Drakensberg; with a choice of either fully-catered or self-catering accommodation.
