When we arrived at the hotel after a long trip from JHB. I was pleasently surprised to see that my early check-in request was approved and my room was ready and waiting. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Setting was so beautiful. All in all it was a unforgettable weekend away. more

I had a wonderful experience at Drakensberg Sun. The staff was very helpful and friend. The hotel was in top condition and loved the scenic view of the mountain. The rooms had satellite tv. Breakfast was brilliant and dinner was even better. The in-house gym need a bit of refubishment though... more

Upon entrance I knew that this place is well managed and quality service provided to every guest. My room was a standard room but still had all the luxuries in it. From Dstv channels to daily amenities and the view from my room can only be described as picture perfect. I went for a hike to ‘the blue grotto’ and... more

The only room we could book was a smoking room and when we checked in I asked for a non smoking room as my wife was pregnant. They did so without hesitation and even upgraded us. This after I phoned Southern Sun's central reservations and they told me that it won't be possible. As our stay was over a long... more

We stayed here for two nights and were impressed with the surroundings. The Drakensberg mountains encompass the resort and are majestic, especially early morning and when the sun sets for the colours. Numerous trails to walk enable you to admire the birdlife and baboons. The rooms (we stayed in Kingfisher 'block') were adequate and clean. There is lots to do... more

This resort did not have MY reservations when I arrived. I paid for a week in advance six weeks earlier. They shrugged.and said they were full and simply did not honor my reservations. The front desk staff were not helpful..just left me standing for hours. They were not astute enough to have me wait in a comfortable location. This is... more

We had booked at the timeshare/self catering chalet. The layout was totally awesome especially the kitchen/dining/lounge all open plan, thus creating a relaxing spacious environment. The bring and braai and bingo games etc. organised by the hotel the day after our arrival was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. The kids loved the open space while the parents (that's us) enjoyed... more
