Superb family-run resort in the Drakensberg
Pros:

We spent 2 nights here. We hiked both days. Everything was superb: the facilities, the room, the food and the service. And the area is beautiful, whether you hike or just enjoy the views. If we lived in South Africa, we would come here annually.

Cons:

Nothing
