“Beautiful and comfortable”

Reviewed March 13, 2013

We stayed at this hotel for one night in November 2012. The hotel itself is nice. Clean, rustic and comfortable. Our room was newly refurbished with a large bathroom. No complaints about the room. The views are great! We went to the spa area which is pretty average. The nicest part is the outdoor jacuzzi which we had to ourselves!... More

Dear Klake4, Thank you for your valuable comment on our Resort. Nice to know you liked the Resort, but I am a bit disappointed you did not rate our buffet. In taking this to heart, we do plan to open our A la Carte restaurants on a more regular basis this year, and also will inject some flair, flavour and... More

“Excellent resort”

Reviewed March 1, 2013

Unfortunately we only had a short stop over on our way back to Durban and the worst drives in the world. Lovely superior room, with great view of the Mountains. The end of January is a quite time, so there were few people about. Suited us! Due to the low number of visitors only the Buck and Trout restaurant was... More

Dear Ian, Thank you for your feedback on the property. I am interested to know why the drive was so bad, and if there was any aspect we could, or I can address. It does sound like your visit was very short, and normally we have guests stay for extended periods. Great to know your experiences were excellent, and definitely... More

“Wet weekend with awsome HOG friends”

Reviewed February 25, 2013

Shared a weekend to the Drak with a huge group of Harley Owners mates and what an awsome time we had. Got drenched with a huge storm into the Drak but the great reception of the management and staff made a difference to the warm welcome. Quickly the boys found the bar and the girls the good food and all... More

Dear Neville, It was certainly a wet ride for your crew to us on the Friday, and even after some tired bikers struggled to get warm, it was fantastic having every single person up here with us. We certainly made some new friends, and I am sure will be seeing all of the good HOG friends at the berg again... More
