Stukkie hemel op aarde!

Fantastiese verblyf! Asemrowend mooi, skoon, netjies, privaat, staproetes in die berge en kan nie moontlik nader aan die berge wees nie!

Very peaceful, comfortable and secure location, a bit shady in winter.

Very welcoming hosts giving good advice on hikes starting from the cabin, well equipped kitchen and super braai facilities. Cosy fireplace was perfectly set up with wood every day. Thanks!

Just perfect.

Rustigheid vir jou siel, ons sal vir seker terugkeer na Ingwe Cabin @ iKhayalamafu Nature Reserve.

10 uit 10. Warm vriendelike verwelkoming van Ricky met ons aankoms. Die beste ligging uit en uit in die berge. Baie goed toegeruste eenheid, jy kan werklik amper net skoon klere en kos saam bring. Die res word voorsien selfs hout om die binne kagel en braai vuur aan die gang te hou. Werklik 'n juweel tussen die Drakensberge met 'n bergstroom wat kabbel in die agtergrond. Hier word jy een met die natuur. Baie dankie Ricky & Paul.

10 out of 10. Warm friendly welcome from Ricky on our arrival. The best location out and out in the mountains. Very well equipped unit, you can really only bring clean clothes and food. The rest is provided, even wood to keep the indoor stove and braai fire going. Truly a gem amongst the Drakensberg with a mountain stream babbling in the background. Here you become one with nature. Thank you very much Ricky & Paul.

Excellent stay!

It was perfect. I loved the fact that it was mid winter but the cabin was still cosy with the fireplace and electric blanket. The kitchen has everything you need, even a corkscrew! Housekeeping is also done daily, and fresh towels too! Hosts are just wonderful, and the dogs were friendly too. It's a perfect getaway from reality and the world. Will definitely revisit.

Breathtaking escape.

The location is breathtaking, from the drive in up to and including the views from the cabin. The welcome from Ricky was warm, and you could see the pride they had in their accommodation and showing us around. The cabin was lovely, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Lots of firewood was a huge plus, and we enjoyed the fireplace. The access to the reserve's hikes was an amazing treat; Nandi Falls was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Pleasant, comfortable, peaceful stay with great hiking trails.

What an amazing time we have had! It is a beautiful place in the middle of the Drakensberg with very well-kept hiking trails. You constantly hear the water stream and are so aware of the beauty of creation. The cabin is lovely and very well equipped. The fireplace is a winner. The hosts are very hospitable and friendly. I can recommend the stay with great confidence to anyone wanting to get away for some peace and quiet, and ample hiking trails to burn off some energy.

Fabulous location right alongside a wonderful range of trails.

We had an incredible time at iKhayalamafu Mountain Reserve. The house was very well-equipped and comfortable with stunning views. However, the number one selling point is the fact that it is located right next to a range of wonderful private trails that take you straight into the forest, up to the peaks, and across gorgeous waterfalls. The hosts were wonderful, and we would have no hesitation in recommending visitors to come.

Beautiful cabin and surroundings.

My husband and I stayed at iKhayalamafu for 4 nights. The cabin is fully self-catering with beautiful finishes and is extremely clean. The site itself is magnificent - settled in amongst the trees at the base of the mountain. We took a walk one morning to Nandi Falls which is a moderately challenging walk/hike within the reserve. The hosts, Paul and Ricky, were warm and welcoming. We will definitely, without question, be back.

Prentjiemooi en manna vir die siel.

Ons het so heerlik gebly in die Ingwe chalet. Gevoel of ons in die woud bly. Dit is lekker privaat en goed ingerig. Die stap na die Nandi-valle is beslis die moeite werd. As jy oor die eerste bult kom, dan wag die mooiste uitsig op Champagne Casle piek jou in. iKhayalamafu is beslis die "khaya in die wolke"!

A stunning breakaway for a nice retreat away from the busy world.

My wife and I had a wonderful 4-day stay for our honeymoon. The unit is very clean and you are truly secluded and surrounded by nature. The 2nd unit is about 20-30 meters away, and the owners stay in the main house up the hill, about 30 meters away. You get direct access to a large amount of hiking trails of varying difficulties. We only walked 2 of them, and they were truly a sight to see as you get to walk alongside the mountains and through valleys with the most stunning views. Occasionally, while out, the units are cleaned and tidied up. We did not expect this so we were a little surprised, but it was a nice-to-have. The braai areas are also cleaned daily. All in all, we had an amazing stay and would definitely come back!

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Net een puntjie: Ons swem in die stroom in een van die baie natuurlike rots poele of staan sommer net onder een van die talle watervalle dan kry jy sommer n 'massage' ook. Dis 'n baie vinnige manier om af te koel en die poele is almal op die stap roetes en ek is verbaas dat julle nie daarop afgekom het nie. Groete en bly koel.

Verkwikking vir die siel.

Die 2 chalets is afgesonder en in die bos. Die voëlsang waarmee 'n mens wakker gemaak word is, baie spesiaal. Die uitsig is asemrowend wanneer 'n mens die staptogte berg op aanpak. Die twee spoor paadjie, waarmee toegang van Monks Cowl parkeerterrein verkry word, verklap reeds die afgesonderheid van die ligging van die chalets. Die staproetes is baie goed onderhou en mens weet onmiddelik dat die eienaars trots het in hulle aanbieding van die fasiliteite. Hoogs aanbeveelbaar vir enige paartjie wat wil wegbreek van die gewone.

Refreshment for the soul.

The 2 chalets are secluded and in the woods. The birdsong that wakes you up is very special. The view is breathtaking when one takes the hike up the mountain. The two track path, by which access is gained from Monks Cowl car park, already reveals the seclusion of the location of the chalets. The hiking trails are very well maintained and you immediately know that the owners take pride in their presentation of the facilities. Highly recommended for any couple looking to break away from the ordinary.

Hidden Gem - soveel meer as die foto's.

Paul en Ricky was die beste gashere. Vooraf: Ons was nog nooit vantevore in die Champagne Castle-omgewing nie, en het vooraf vir Ricky gevra vir 'n paar aanbevelings. Sy het spoedig teruggestuur en ons het omtrent elke plek op haar lys gaan besoek. Tydens: Met ons aankoms was Paul gereed om ons 'n inleiding te gee van die area en die talle staproetes wat op ons voorstoep begin. Hy het ons deur die gewilde sowel as die moeiliker roetes gepraat en ons nuuskierigheid geprikkel om onmiddellik te gaan stap. Die huisie is ongelooflik en alhoewel ons net 2 nagte daar gebly het, sou ons maklik langer kon bly. Daar is 'n kaggel met genoeg hout in die kamer, 'n CD-speler met die beste kombinasie van golden oldies en 'n view wat jou mond sal laat oop hang as jy die skottelgoed was. Daar is ook genoeg dag-staproetes om jou vir meer as 'n week besig te hou, veral as jy 'n bietjie stap-fiks is. Al die roetes begin op jou voorstoep en word duidelik op 'n kaart in jou huisie beskryf en uitgelê. Hulle voorsien in meer as die basiese benodighede onder die selfsorg 'label', maar indien jy iets vergeet het, het die naaste winkel goeie voorraad en is nie te duur nie. Ons het daar weggery en reeds ons volgende besoek begin bespreek.

Hidden Gem - so much more than the photos.

Paul and Ricky were the best hosts. Advance: We had never been to the Champagne Castle area before, and asked Ricky for some recommendations beforehand. She sent back promptly and we visited just about every place on her list. During: Upon our arrival, Paul was on hand to give us an introduction to the area and the many hiking trails that start on our doorstep. He talked us through the popular as well as the more difficult routes and piqued our curiosity to go hiking immediately. The cottage is amazing and although we only stayed there for 2 nights, we could have easily stayed longer. There is a fireplace with enough wood in the room, a CD player with the best combination of golden oldies and a view that will leave your mouth hanging open when you wash the dishes. There are also enough day hikes to keep you busy for more than a week, especially if you're a little fit. All the routes start on your doorstep and are clearly described and laid out on a map in your cottage. They provide more than the basic necessities under the self-catering 'label', but if you have forgotten something, the nearest shop has a good stock and is not too expensive. We drove away and already started booking our next visit.

Awesome, rustig, berge, berge, berge, natuurskoon op sy beste.

Ons het in die Inyoka Cabin gebly. Baie skoon, netjies, alles waarvoor jy kan vra. Kaggelvuur in die kamer het oortyd gewerk. Genoeg hout is verskaf vir kaggel en braai. Staproetes mooi gemerk, woude, watervalle, grotte, berge reg rondom, kan nie beskryf hoe mooi dit is nie. Sal defnitief weer teruggaan.

The walks in the area of iKayalamfu were spectacular and wondrous. The rainy weather did not dampen spirits because of the beauty of the place and in spite of the rain, a walk was possible on most days. The beauty of the area is beyond description. Our hosts were most considerate and did everything they could to ensure our comfort in spite of the weather which was not ideal.

Ongerepte natuurskoon - toorberg.

Ricky en Paul, dankie dat jul ‘n stukkie privaat paradys met ons gedeel het. Dankie vir jul vriendelikheid en werklike omgee. Die besoek aan julle het vir ‘n magiese, onvergeetlike verjaarsdag gesorg. Die suiwer vars lug, die kristalhelder bergwater oral om ons, die besondere uitsigte en die lieflike voëlgesange van die ryk voëllewe sal ek altyd in my hart koester. Dit was fantasties om so een met die natuur te wees. Die kothuis is uiters gemaklik en ruim, daar was oorgenoeg vuurmaakhout (selfs genoeg fynhoutjies), vars blommetjies in die badkamer, ag sommer alles het getuig van ‘n opregte en persoonlike omgee vir jul gaste. Ons beveel iKhayalamafu Mountain Reserve beslis vir almal aan. Ons verblyf was heeltemal te kort, maar ons sal definitief terugkeer vir nog meer magic.

Ricky and Paul, thank you for sharing a piece of private paradise with us. Thank you for your kindness and genuine care. The visit to you made for a magical, unforgettable birthday. The pure fresh air, the crystal clear mountain water all around us, the special views and the lovely birdsongs of the rich bird life I will always cherish in my heart. It was fantastic to be so one with nature. The cottage is extremely comfortable and spacious, there was more than enough firewood (even enough fine wood), fresh flowers in the bathroom, everything testified to a sincere and personal care for your guests. We definitely recommend iKhayalamafu Mountain Reserve to everyone. Our stay was far too short, but we will definitely return for more magic.

IKhayalamafu Mountain Reserve was a perfect start to our honeymoon.

This place is such a gem. The Cabin is cosy and we absolutely loved the fireplace in the bedroom. If you are looking for a breakaway, this is the place to go. The views are amazing from the cabin, and there is no better place to enjoy your morning coffee than on the deck of the cabin! We especially loved all the trails we could do. All the trails start right at your doorstep and you will get to see the most amazing scenery here. We loved hiking to Nandi falls, walking through the forest trail with all the small waterfalls and all the way up to the famous Sphinx and Crystal Falls. This place is just magical! Thanks, Ricky and Paul for having us. We will most definitely be back soon!

Snoesig en weggesteek in die natuurskoon.

Beste verblyf om die berge ten volle te beleef en besigtig. Dis ver genoeg om weggesteek te voel, maar naby genoeg aan ander besienswaardighede. Die heerlike staproetes is in 'n goeie toestand en begin by jou voordeur. Groot, uiters gemaklike kothuis het alles wat jy nodig het, is baie snoesig en omring deur suiwer natuurskoon. Daar is ook oorgenoeg hout vir braaie en kaggelvure. Dankie dat ons jul privaat juweel vir 'n tydjie kon gedeel het.

Diep-diep in die berge.

Hierdie twee huisies is ideaal vir enigiemand wat hou van eenkant-plekke, waar niemand ooit verbyry nie. Die twee huisies is in die woud geleë, met allerlei skaars woudvoëls daar rondom. Die groot verskil is dat Ingwe 'n dek het, met 'n uitsig oor die Sterkriviervallei. Beide eenhede is baie goed toegerus, en die eienaars verskaf genoeg hout om die kaggelvuur heeldag aan die gang te hou wanneer dit koud en reënerig is, soos toe ons daar gebly het. Die eienaars (Ricky en Paul) is byderhand om enige probleem te hanteer, en om advies oor die omgewing te gee (soos om die Drakensberg Seunskoor se konsert te gaan bywoon; waarvoor Ricky sommer vir ons kaartjies ook bespreek het). Die water- en sonkrag is voldoende, selfs wanneer die son vir dae nie skyn nie. Die water is die soetste wat bestaan.

These two little houses are ideal for anyone who likes remote places where nobody ever pass by. The two houses are in the forest with various rare forest bird species in the vicinity. The only difference is that Ingwe has a deck with a view of the Sterk River Valley. Both units are well equipped and the owners provide enough wood to keep the indoor fireplace burning all day long in the cold, rainy weather. The owners Ricky and Paul are always willing to handle any problem and provide advice about the area (like attending a concert of the Drakensberg Boys Choir, for which Ricky even booked us tickets). The water- and solar energy is sufficient, even when the sun doesn't shine for days on end. The sweetest water.
