    Nothing, cant fault the accommodation.

    The facilities were top notch! All the staff friendly and super helpful. The room was historical but very well equipped and comfortable. a bonus was the fireplace. The dinner was excellent and the 'honesty bar' very well supplied. Excellent value for money and we would definitely stay there again.

    The possibility of a later check out. And lastly, the fire wood was too hard, didn't want to take so we were unable to keep the fireplace going. Luckily there were electric blankets on the bed.

    The food was exceptionally great and so flavourful. Almost better than the food we had at our wedding venue the night before. Since we were on honeymoon, I asked for some rose petals and for some Grapetiser to which no extra costs were charged. Exceptional overall.

    Unfortunately the roads where not good but this was due to excessive rain before our stay. This would not stop me from staying there again.

    This an excellent venue for family gatherings with ample accommodation and space for children to play and have fun. Obviously also excellent for smaller groups or couples/individuals.

    What a lovely peaceful farm to stay at! Very spacious area with all facilities you could wish for. The breakfast and dinner we had were great, freshly cooked and so convenient if you don’t want to cook yourself. There is a bar as well to enjoy a drink with other guests. The dogs and cats were amazing to have around! They are always ready for a hug. The beds were super comfy which we appreciate even more after an overnight hike in the mountains. Thanks a lot for this wonderful stay!

    Absolutely beautiful scenery and charm. We loved the dogs and the cats (the border collie came and slept on our bedroom floor - we were very honoured), lazing on the verandah together, getting stuck in the mud and having to be hauled out by our hosts (thank you, again), walking and the glorious light of the near-Berg.

    After booking we were informed that the road was very bad due to heavy rains. We made it, other guests got stuck and had to be towed. So better to go with an 4x4 when it was raining. Also it was clear that it is a farm with pets, the cats had taken up residence on all the seating. Fly catchers were set up, but there were still more than enough. We were offered a rustic room with a tub, on the question whether there is also a shower, we were led to an outside shower. That was too rustic for us. In the end we got a large bunglaow. The sanitary objects were modern and fine, the cushions on the seats should be renewed once, the lid of the kettle and the lever of the faucet in the kitchen are broken. There was no soap or anything in the bathroom and also only one serving of coffee. Some buildings are in poor condition or are being renovated. The entire pool area is aging and not well maintained or cleaned.

    I have to admit, I was a bit shocked at first, but then came to terms with it. But in the end the value for money is right and there were - besides us - only 2 other guests there. The bungalow (The Barn) is spacious and very quiet. The farm is far away from the main roads, accompanied by two dogs we took a long walk. The dinner was very good (vegetarian) as well as the breakfast.

    Dalmore guest farm - a perfect weekend getaway
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Chalet - Cottage 2
    • Stayed 1 night

    Driving to Dalmore you will encounter about 7kms of dirt road, on most dry days this is no problem at all to cross even in a normal car (sedan) but unfortunately in our case there was a torrential downpour which made driving through this road impossible. Fortunately for us the local farmers were patrolling the roads helping those who were stuck - in all fairness Pippa did message us in the morning warning us of the road conditions, but we missed that message.

    Dalmore Guest Farm is the perfect place to enjoy a technology detox. It is nestled in the heart of the Drakensburg mountains with the beautiful berg surrounding your view. You get to enjoy nature and a serene quite that only a farm can provide. The chalet was spacious and comfortable. Pippa was a gracious host and was in constant communication with us to ensure our stay was as comfortable and pleasant as can be. The farm property is beautifully maintained and walking along the farm lets you connect with your surroundings. Amenities are good with an honesty bar, a pool and plenty of walking paths. The cell coverage is limited - which is a great way to just put your phone down and enjoy the moment. In the evening the staff helped start our fireplace keeping our cottage nice and cosy, what an awesome touch. The star of the farm were the pets Cody & Wilson who took it upon themselves to be our chaperon during our entire stay. I can only praise Pippa and the staff at Dalmore for having a guest house that is just perfect weekend getaway
