Castleburn is a small, friendly resort nestled amongst hilly countryside with the beautiful southern Drakensberg mountains forming a backdrop. We were given one of the cottages near the lake which is really very pretty. The canoeing, walks, putt putt course are all lovely relaxing activities. We stayed there in June so it was very cold but they supplied us with... More

My Husband Geoff and I arrived on the 11th Jan very late but the keys were ready at the gate. The first 4 weeks accomadation was the fisherman's apartments ( flats ) which was comfortable as there were 2 bathrooms. There are also 2 very good size bedrooms one double and a twin. The balcony had a B.B.Q and table... More

This must be one of the best places to visit to unwind and relax. We were lucky to stay in a unit very close to the lake and it was a great 4 days. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed because of the recent fire but we still had a great stay.

Arriving in the beautiful peaceful area was the first pleasant experience as the staff were friendly and welcoming and none of the facilities was crowded despite it being peak holiday season. Even though staff were coping with the difficulties of arranging functions in a temporary marquee after a fire, still we had a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The waiters served with... More

Lovely resort with very nice activities. Very scenic, nice for walking. We were fortunate enough to be able to go down the river in tyre tubes, what an exciting experience. Our chalet's geyser broke and we were without hot water for two days - not the greatest expereince. I have to agree with the some of the other reviewers that... More

The beauty of the surrounds of Castleburn simply took our breath away! The mountains changed character with the changing light and still had wisps of snow on them. The resort was well furnished and very comfortable - the underfloor heating was a great bonus during cool evenings. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant and although the service was... More

We had a break up at Castleburn, and were very happy with the stay. Our holiday was with 2 other couples, and the unit we were issued was more than sufficient space wise for 6 of us. The units were neat and clean, and were specked out with good furniture and equipment. We were right on the doorstep of the... More

Our first stay at the resort. A beautiful setting with comfortable chalets. However the chalets could do with better lighting in the living area for reading. The patio furniture was terrible and not 5 star. The mattress in the main bedroom was way past its change date, both my wife and I suffered from back ache as a result of... More
