Rustige atrmosfeer, baie vriendelike personeel en heerlike etes.

Alhoewel die temperatuur onverwags koud was, weens 'n koue front, was ons verblyf baie aangenaam. Die eenhede was privaat en gemaklik. Die etes was onverbeterlik. Ons was gelukkig ons kon nog bespreek vir Desember. Dit is presies wat ons nodig het: vrede en rustigheid.

Calm atmosphere, very friendly staff and delicious meals.

Although the temperature was unexpectedly cold, due to a cold front, our stay was very pleasant. The units were private and comfortable. The meals were unbeatable. We were lucky we could still book for December. This is exactly what we need: peace and quiet.

Swak diens en swak verblyf.

In die eerste plek lyk die plek niks soos op die foto's. Afgeleë en verwaarloos met net die ontvangsdame en ons daar. Die eienaar het buite rond gewamdel totdat ons wou padgee toe kies hy koers! Oor die R3000 vir een nag, vismotte in die bad, vuil huisies en baie gevaarlik vir kinders met elektriese kabels wat orals lê. Die sogenoemde perde het tot hartseer gelyk om daar te wees. Ontvangsdame het nie geweet wat op die spyskaart is vir aandete - haar antwoord "We do what we do". Geweier om ons geld terug te gee en soos ek sê, die eienaar het nie eers kom gesig wys om te hoor of is alles reg nie.

Poor service and poor accommodation.

First of all, the place looks nothing like the pictures. Remote and neglected with only the receptionist and us there. The owner wandered around outside until we wanted to give way then he chose a course! Over R3000 for one night, fish moths in the bath, dirty houses and very dangerous for children with electric cables lying everywhere. The so-called horses seemed sad to be there. Receptionist didn't know what was on the menu for dinner - her answer "We do what we do". Refused to give our money back and as I say, the owner didn't even come to show his face to ask if everything is ok.

Persoonlike warm dromerige akkommodasie.

Ons het elke oorblik geniet van die lieflike houtwerk orals tot die heerlike kos. Die hitsig was asemrowend.Sal weer terug wees!

Uitstekende langnaweek in 'n pragtige plek!

Wat 'n unieke en pragtige plek! Met aankoms is ons baie vriendelik gegroet deur Lechal. Sy het ons ook die lodge gewys en verduidelik hoe alles werk. Die kamers is pragtig. Alle houtwerk is self deur die eienaar gemaak. Jy sal nie hierdie unieke stukke iewers anders kry nie. Die akkommodasie is ruim, gerieflik en skoon. Kamers het almal 'n kaggel en Jacuzzi bad. Perfek vir die koue wintersdae. Ontbyt en aandete geskied om 'n gemeenskaplike tafel en jy kry die geleentheid om saam die ander gaste voor aandete 'n drankie te geniet en bietjie te kuier. Wat 'n lekker ervaring om soveel nuwe mense te ontmoet. Na aandete het sommige van die gaste agtergebly in die kuierarea voor die kaggel en speletjies gespeel of TV gekyk terwyl die res na hul eie chalets terug is om privaat voor die kaggel verder te kuier. Regtig 'n wonderlike plek, pragtige omgewing en vriendelike, behulpsame personeel.

Excellent long weekend in a beautiful place!

What a unique and beautiful place! On arrival we were greeted in a friendly fashion by Lechal. She also showed us the lodge and explained how everything worked. The rooms are beautiful. All the woodwork is done by the owner himself. You won't find these unique pieces elsewhere. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and clean. Rooms all have a fireplace and Jacuzzi. It is perfect for cold winter's days. Breakfast and dinner takes place around a communal table and you get the opportunity to enjoy a drink before dinner with other guests and socialise a bit. What a nice experience to meet so many new people. After dinner some of the guests stayed behind in the communal area in front of the fire to play games or watch TV while the rest went back to their chalets to their private fireplaces. Really a wonderful place, beautiful area and friendly and helpful staff.

Amazingly restful getaway for those who want time away from the rat race.

Great personalised service - we even got private dining. One of the best meals I have had in a very long time - really thought I was eating at a 5 star restaurant. The cave was really awesome with amazing views. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all (including TV which was great) and just enjoy some peace and quiet with your other half i couldn't think of a better place. An amazing value for money when you consider the level of accommodation, service levels and the meals that are included.

Dit was baie lekker en het dit geniet om my vrou te bederf.

Ongelukkig dink ek dis meer vir buitelanders wat dit kan bekostig. Antbear was so gaaf om afslag te gee, maar was nog steeds aan die duur kant. Ek ken nie die Drakensberge so goed nie, maar ek sal weer gaan - net nie Antbear toe nie. Die pad is bietjie sleg en ver van alles af. Dit is wel mooi.

It was very nice and enjoyed spoiling my wife.

Unfortunately, I think it's more for foreigners who can afford it. Antbear was kind enough to give a discount, but was still on the expensive side. I don't know the Drakensberg very well, but I would go again - just not to Antbear. The road is a bit bad and far from everything. It is beautiful.
