Was a beautiful getaway. Loved it!
Pros:

Good breakfast & dinner. Had a good variety to choose from. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Perhaps add pancakes & waffles at breakfast. Always a treat to have them served freshly made.
A beverage, like fruit juice can be added to the dinner service.

Drakensburg Sun where memories are made
Pros:

The experience was peaceful and beautiful views. The staff was very helpful. Like to make it a regular visit.

Cons:

The monkeys 🐒 was definitely a nuisance. We was not able to enjoy the balcony and fresh air. The monkey sold the milk right in front of us. From that time onwards they was causing us to stress because we could not open the door without having to worry. Also it was unpleasant the monkeys was urinating and messing while we are there.
