Very relaxing place to stay. Stunning view of the mountains, friendly cats and zebras visited often. Load shedding is a challenge, but the gas stove/oven was a great help. Take a torch.

Beautiful surroundings.

Hostess is friendly but long-winded. House is not very clean. Cleaner was a temporary lady, young and not very good at her job. Gardener kept her company at the door. Locks of doors are broken, cannot lock the house. Hostess refers guests to her daughter's guesthouse. Lots of spider threads in ceiling. Candles provided for load shedding, one bulb working for load shedding. Fireplace's briquette was burnt through. Beautiful place, lovely to stay there, just a pity the service and maintenance of place is deteriorating.

Baie lekker akkommodasie. Baie veilig en baie sentraal geleë vir restaurante, aktiwiteite en stap.

Akkommodasie baie skoon. Personeel baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Carol en haar man het in die middel vand die nag Chinese toeriste gaan haal wat moes oorslaap en verdwaal het. Toeriste het toe geen kos gehad om te eet nie en Carol het hulle uitgehelp met my kos uit hulle kombuis tot die volgende dag. Carol kon nie genoeg vir ons doen nie.

Very nice accommodation. Very safe and very centrally located for restaurants, activities and walking.

Accommodation very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Carol and her husband went to pick up Chinese tourists in the middle of the night who must have overslept and got lost. Tourists then had no food to eat and Carol helped them out with my food from their kitchen until the next day. Carol couldn't do enough for us.

Be nice to have hot water in the kitchen, maybe a sponge and extra dishwashing liquid, also the rain causes the water to be sandy.

Maybe also some pest control as there were baby cockroaches in the wood of the bed. The bedding also smelt very damp. Overall, the owner is amazing, communicates kindly. This place is beautiful, I will go there again, just a few things to attend to.

Ideale ligging vir natuurskoon en vrede.

Orchard Manor het alles wat nodig is met vriendelike en bedagsame bestuurders maar die pluspunt is die nabyheid aan die natuur en groot oop ruimtes met pragtige uitsig op die berge.

Heerlike eenheid met alles wat jy nodig het om bietjie af te skakel. Kuier saam met die sebras op die grasperk terwyl jy die uitsig op die berge geniet. Heerlike staproetes vir elke fiksheidsvlak.

Plaas atmosfeer in die Sentrale Drakensberge.

Orchard Manor is baie sentraal geleë reg langs die Drakensberg Seunskoor. Die eenheid is lekker ruim met 'n kaggel en het 'n pragtige uitkyk op die omgewing. Die sebras wat tot op jou voorstoep kom dagsê was 'n welkome verrassing. Net so paar dingetjies wat bietjie gepla het was, dat daar geen warm water in die kombuis is nie. Die bed in die hoofvertrek se matras is baie sag en die beddegoed is al oud en verbleik alhoewel dit baie skoon is. Ons moes die enkelbed duvets van die tweede kamer gebruik want ons kon nie nog 'n dubbelkombers in die kamer kry nie. Maar verder het ons die plaasatmosfeer en ligging baie geniet.

Place atmosphere in the Central Drakensberg.

Orchard Manor is very centrally located right next to the Drakensberg Boys Choir. The unit is nice and spacious with a fireplace and has a beautiful view of the surroundings. The zebras coming up to your doorstep to say hello were a welcome surprise. Just a few things that bothered me a bit were that there is no hot water in the kitchen. The bed in the main room's mattress is very soft and the bedding is old and faded although it is very clean. We had to use the single bed duvets from the second room because we couldn't find another double blanket in the room. But apart from that we really enjoyed the farm atmosphere and location.

Pragtige uitsig, gerieflike en veilige verblyf. Stil, maar tog naby genoeg aan swembaddens en restaurant.

Pragtige uitsig oor die Drakensberge. Baie gerieflike verblyf. Geen kragopwekker. Ons het baie gesukkel met area krag wat af was en as krag af is vir lank is daar ook nie water nie. Eenhede is gerieflik, en was lekker vir ons groot groep van nege. Restaurant en swembad naby, maar ver genoeg dat dit stil is by eenhede. Mak zebra’s in die area, apies en bobbejane, plaas-gevoel. Eienaars vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het dit baie geniet, veral die uitsig wat onbelemmerd en pragtig is.

Beautiful view, comfortable and safe accommodation. Quiet, yet close enough to pools and restaurant.

Beautiful view of the Drakensberg. Very comfortable accommodation. No generator. We had a lot of trouble with area power that was off and if power is off for a long time there is no water either. Units are comfortable, and were nice for our large group of nine. Restaurant and pool nearby, but far enough that it is quiet at units. Tame zebras in the area, monkeys and baboons, farm feel. Owners friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed it, especially the view which is unobstructed and beautiful.

Most tranquil, clean and comfortable accommodation ever.

Patrick and I have not been to the Drakensberg Mountains in 7 years, but since staying at Orchard Manor, we are planning our next trip in March and will definitely want to stay at Orchard Manor, we loved it! Clean, picture perfect and tranquil, definitely recommended if you love the mountains and nature!

Ongelooflike uitsig en super skoon!

Ongelooflike uitsig oor die berge! Super skoon en netjies! Met mak sebras wat jou kom welkom sê! Na misverstand oor of daar kaggel in die eenheid was, het die eienaar ons geskuif na ‘n eenheid met ‘n kaggel.

Great view on the mountains in 100% privacy.

We were fully surprised by the location of Orchard Manor. The zebras welcomed us. What a spot! Hardly to describe our experience without getting exaggerated. The swimming is great. And also the restaurant in the camp nearby. One remark: the fuel station was out of order during our visit. So take care that your tank is filled up! And wine or beer is not sold in the shop. Wonderful hikes in Monkeys Owl and Cathedral Peak.

Pragtige plek wat in 'n baie mooi en stil area is, net soos ek daarvan hou.

Die chalet is pragtig, met ongelooflike uitsig op die berge, geleë in die hart van seker die beste vakansiebestemming in SA. Die kleinkinders was gaande oor die mak sebras wat daar rondgeloop het. Speelplek vir die kinders was oorgenoeg en die feit dat jy nie tussen ander mense vertrap word nie is absoluut priceless.

Beautiful place that is in a very nice and quiet area, just the way I like it.

The chalet is beautiful, with incredible views of the mountains, located in the heart of probably the best holiday destination in SA. The grandchildren were delighted by the tame zebras that roamed there. Play space for the children was more than enough and the fact that you are not trampled among other people is absolutely priceless.

Pragtige uitsig vanuit die huisie op die berge.

Geen spieël, met kragpunt onder vir grimeer en hare blaas. Haardroër in badkamer met geen kragpunt. Geen welkom koffie en melk met aankoms vir eerste dag. Matras van memory foam en baie sag, slaap in 'n gat binne 5 min. Andersins baie lekker gewees.

Gemaklike verblyf met pragtige uitsig.

Die eenheid is goed toegerus en lekker ruim. Die uitsig is ongelooflik. Daar is zebras en eende wat op die erf rondloop. Die groot bed is in die leefarea en dus glad nie privaat nie. Ons het baie lekker gebly - baie goeie waarde vir geld!
