At the foot of the uKhahlamba - Drakensberg Mountains, World Heritage Site - a beautiful farm house nestles peacefully amid natural springs and streams. Our place is truly at the foot of the mountains.

This delightful country retreat is situated in the Central Drakensberg, very close to Champagne Sports Resort and the Drakensberg Sun Hotel and about 10km away from Champagne Castle Hotel and has a magnificent view of the Drakensberg mountains, including Giants Castle, Injasuti, Champagne Castle and Cleft Peak. The house overlooks a gorge with a small waterfall, the valley beneath and the panorama of the Central Drakensberg Mountain Peaks. If you are wondering what activities there are to do in the Central Drakensberg, then take a short drive to some of these attractions.

Our private mountain lodge has three double bedrooms with a fourth smaller bedroom and two bathrooms (main en suite). The 4th bedroom, which is just off the verandah is small and is suitable for children as it has bunk beds.

The kitchen is modern and fully fitted, which is ideal for self catering - stove/oven, microwave, fridges/freezer and all the cutlery, crockery and utensils you will need.
