Its stunning natural scenery with breathtaking views of mountains, rivers and lush greenery, makes it an exceptional retreat for nature enthusiasts. The resort provides a serene and peaceful environment, ideal for both long and short hikes, further complemented by its proximity to the Drakensberg Gardens National Park.

Guests frequently commend the resort's breakfast, praising its variety and quality. The buffet-style breakfast features a delicious spread with highlights including egg preparations and early morning breakfast packs. Although some found the options limited and repetitive, the overall feedback remains positive.

The dining experience, while generally positive, shows room for improvement. Many guests enjoy the food quality and variety, particularly the curry, trout and vegetarian options.
