The place to be.

This is the place to stay in the Berg. It is very different to other accommodation, but the uniqueness is refreshing and a wonderful experience. The accommodation provides you with a clear view of the Berg and is close to hiking trails, shops, and restaurants. The hosts are wonderful.

As jy vrede op Aarde soek, dié is die plek!

Groen gras, pragtige uitsig, unieke grothuis, koel rotspoele. Nee wat, ons kan oor niks negatiewe kommentaar lewer nie. Ons het hierdie plek hoog op ons lysie van bestes geplaas. Die klipbad was 'n definitiewe hoogtepunt. 'n Interessante mens met baie stories wat die kuier verryk het. Dankie. Dit was great!

Fun, quirky, simply fabulous!

It was an absolute pleasure staying at 'Diddly Squat'. And such fun to meet the creative genius behind these unique dwellings. Being digital nomads, the internet was important for us. Luckily, I was able to hold the Zoom call on the roof - as you do! Our client thought it was fun and quirky too. Thank you very much for your lovely hospitality. We are looking forward to returning when we're next in the country.

'n Warm, hartlike ontvangs deur die eienaars.

'n Heerlike, kalm omgewing. Die eienaars het pret gehad met die oprigting van die oornagfasiliteite en is trots daarop. Ek sal enigiemand aanbeveel om hier te oornag of 'n lang naweek te geniet.

Stukkie hemel!

Ons het baie lekker daar oorgeslaap,in Didly Squat. Só oulike "grot" alles is daar wat nodig is. Dit is stil en rustig en alles is baie netjies. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir iemand wat 'n buitengewone blyplek soek. Estelle en Steve is baie gawe mense. Steve Bull is ook 'n talentvolle kunstenaar, sy werk is baie besonders.

We had a nice stay. Although small, it is neat and interesting.

The hut is a quaint, creative and neat little gem, with lovely views of the mountains and is ideal for a short stay. The owners are friendly and respond quickly to any questions. It is in a secured area with access to a hiking trail within a short walking distance. There is a shop and restaurant at the adjacent property. Keep in mind, it is very small, and though it has an open air braai area and access to the pool, it may not be ideal in the rainy season as there is no outside area under roof, and also no under-roof parking if it should hail.

Asemrowende omgewing.

Dis net geskik vir 2 persone. Die bespreking het gesê daar is 2 slaapkamers, maar dis net 1 slaapkamer met 'n oopslaapbank wat in die middel van die sitkamer/kombuis staan. Dit maak dit baie ongemaklik as daar meer as 2 mense is. Daar is nie die privaatheid van 'n tweede kamer vir 'n paartjie nie. Vir 2 persone is dit perfek en heeltemal iets anders as die gewone oornagverblyf. Die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi en die gasheer en vrou is regtig gawe mense en baie vriendelik. Mens kan oral rondstap en die atmosfeer is uit die boeke uit lekker.

Breathtaking surroundings.

It's only suitable for 2 people. The booking said there are 2 bedrooms, but it's only 1 bedroom with a sofa bed in the middle of the living room/kitchen. This makes it very uncomfortable when there are more than 2 people. There is not the privacy of a second room for a couple. For 2 people it is perfect and completely different from the usual overnight stay. The view is incredibly beautiful and the host and wife are really nice people and very friendly. You can walk everywhere and the atmosphere is out of the books.

Wat 'n belewenis! Die beste uitsig op die mooie Drakensberg Champagne Castle-berge.

Hoflikheid van die eienaars, die uitsonderlike talent met die skepping van die Grothuis en al die kunswerke binne die huis, die pragtige "rock pool" met die uitsig op die landskap het ons verblyf 'n absolute uitsonderlike ervaring gemaak. Ons vertel almal dat hul dit moet gaan beleef. Die feit dat dit reg langs die Drakensberg Seunsskool was het ons die geleentheid gegee om hul konsert by te woon - nog 'n baie spesiale ervaring. Beslis een vir ons Boek van Herinneringe.

What an experience! The best view of the beautiful Drakensberg Champagne Castle mountains.

Courtesy of the owners, the exceptional talent with the creation of the Cave House and all the works of art inside the house, the beautiful "rock pool" with the view of the landscape made our stay an absolutely exceptional experience. We tell everyone that they have to go and experience it. The fact that it was right next to the Drakensberg Boys' School gave us the opportunity to attend their concert - another very special experience. Definitely one for our Book of Memories.

Amazing!

Wow what a great stay we had here with lovely and very creative host Steve and her wife Estelle,. we stayed at the Inkunzi Cave and it was so beautiful, Steve made the cave together with a few guys, and the decoration (painting, carvings) did Steve himself made. You have to see for yourself how well it's made. And the garden is also very pretty with a huge pool and stunning views of the Drakensberge, I hope we will return someday to experience this piece of heaven right there again!

'n Ongelooflike ervaring.

Dit was wonderlik om wakker te word met die uitsig van die berge deur die venster van Diddly Squat. Alles wat nodig is, was in die kamer. Die dekor laat 'n mens glimlag en verplaas jou in 'n ander kultuur. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Dit is baie mooi met lieflike uitsig en baie vriendelike mense. Sal beslis beter wees op sonskyndae want met 2 groot tieners raak die spasie bietjie min. Die huisie is volledig toegerus en elke item wat mens kan dink is daar en beskikbaar. Dis baie mooi en 'n lieflike ervaring. Baie bly ek het daar geboek; is bietjie iets anders as die gewone huisie om in te oornag. Baie dankie vir geleentheid om die huisie te besoek.

Amazing!

Al die wonings is handgemaak deur Steve. Vanuit die 'grot' waar ons oornag het, kon jy soggens die son, pienk, oor Champagne Peak sien opkom. Al die geriewe was daar en ons kon afkoel in die rots-swembad na 'n lekker uitstappie na Monks Cowl toe. Steve en Estelle is puik gashere. Ons het dit ontsettend geniet om al die interessanthede te kon lees in die boekie wat Estelle oor Steve se lewe geskryf het. Steve is 'n wonderlike skilder/ tekenaar. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Absolutely fabulous

Our stay at Inkuzi Cave, Zulu Hut and Diddly Squat was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Zulu Hut and Diddly Squat and loved every second of our stay. The owners were so friendly and open and we left feeling like family. The level of detail in each of the accommodation units were so cute and fitting to the allocated theme, we had everything we needed. The views were amazing and the kids really enjoyed swimming in the rock pools. There are a lot of cute shops to visit close by and lots of things to do which only made our stay more memorable. Our stay at the Zulu Hut and Diddly Squat was so unique and special and we loved that its not your typical type of accommodation. We felt safe and welcome from the moment we arrived and will definitely be going back and I can recommend this as a holiday destination to anyone wanting to visit this part of the Drakensberg region.

Hosts Steve and Estelle are very hospitable. Diddly Squat is the most unique accommodation ever.

This was our second stay at Diddly Squat because it is so unique and innovative. Virtually living in a cave with its Rainbow Nation feel and ambience makes it so inviting. Did I forget to mention the view of the mountains when you open your eyes in the morning? Well, I will happily say that it's the best and makes you feel so relaxed. The accommodation is centrally situated to either going for hikes from Monks Cowl, visiting the reptile park, witnessing majestic birds of prey at Falcon Ridge and a quick drive to many restaurants and eateries. This in addition to many other activities are available for all ages.

This is one of the best places we have ever stayed. Steve treat you like royalty. Not many places offer you a view of the berg when lying on your bed. Will definitely be back.

Asemrowende uitsig. Gasvriendelik, fantastiese diens, beste vakansie-akkommodasie nog ooit.

Hospitality is outstanding, everything you need is there. Amazing view from all the windows. Private and romantic. A must. Do recommend this for any couple for a romantic break away. Can also take 2 small kids. The views is to fall in love with. Artwork in caves is outstanding. Uncle Steve is a real darling. I fell in love with this place.

Ontsettend mooi en rustig.

Inkunzi Cave, is 'n verskriklike mooi ontwerpte plek met eie rotspoel, baie privaat met 'n fantastiese uitsig oor die Drakensberge asook vallei, beslis aanbeveelbaar.

Stunningly beautiful and quiet.

Inkunzi Cave is a terribly beautifully designed place with its own rock pool, very private with a fantastic view of the Drakensberg as well as the valley, definitely recommended.

'n Wonderlike ondervinding.

Steve, die eienaar, het elke plek goed deurdink. Ons het in Die Diddly Squat gebly en het dit vreeslik geniet. Steve se kreatiwiteit kan ek nie in woorde beskryf nie. As jy van iets anders hou gaan beleef dit. Lekker staproetes en 'n kunstenaar 1000.

A wonderful experience.

Steve, the owner, thought every place through. We stayed in the Diddly Squat and enjoyed it very much. I can't put Steve's creativity into words. If you like something else, go and experience it. Lovely hiking routes and a one in a million artist.

'n Baie goeie keuse as jy soek na verblyf wat bietjie uniek is maar tog 'n besonderse ervaring is.

Diddly Squat is dalk meer geskik vir "Backpackers" of mense wat lig reis. Inkunzi Cave is besonders. Die handewerk van Steve, eienaar en kunstenaar is oral sigbaar en besonders.

A very good choice if you are looking for accommodation that is a bit unique but still a special experience.

Diddly Squat may be more suitable for "Backpackers" or people who travel light. Inkunzi Cave is special. The handiwork of Steve, owner and artist is visible and special everywhere.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n grot/shack met 'n lieflike uitsig!

Ons het 'n paar nagte in die klein grot/shack deurgebring, baie rustig en privaat, meestal gebraai en heerlike kampvure gemaak, een reënerige aand op die gasstofie gekook en op koue aande vuurgamaak in die houtkoolstoof. Heerlike ervaring met baie aangename gasheer en gasvrou.

Lovely accommodation in a cave/shack with a lovely view!

We spent a couple of nights in the little cave/shack, very quiet and private, mostly barbecuing and making delicious campfires, one rainy night cooking on the gas stove and on cold nights a fire in the charcoal stove. Wonderful experience with very pleasant host and hostess.
