    The mountain/stream walk could have been more clearly signposted, particularly around the river crossing.

    Beautiful resort at the foot of the Drakensberg with the accommodation surrounding 2 large lakes. Our unit was an open plan chalet for 2 people with wonderful views of the lake and distant mountains.

    Would love a built in braai at more cottages and rain cover. Braaing in the rain was a total schlep and it rains alot so prepare for this, also check on how the ovens work before needing to use it because the braai gets washed out, there are a few tricks to them 😉

    Everything! Exceptional hosts - Ruhan, Charmaine, Garth, Jane are just amazing. Lake Naverone is an exceptional place and by far our favourite place to stay in South Africa. Don't let the 3* fool you, this is a 6* venue, 7* people and experience and deserving of a booking.com award every, single year. Well done to the owners on selecting such an incredible team, we cannot wait to go back. Hiking, fishing, river picnics and walks. Horse riding, tubeing, natural pool swims, views galore and endless exploring - nature at its best! Be warned there are no TVs and little wifi/internet and for excellent reason... spend quality time with your loved ones and leave technology alone. This place deserves all of your attention!

    Lake Naverone has the perfect setting. Sitting on the veranda looking at the lake and mountains can only destress one. After initially suffering from withdrawal symptoms of no tv and Wi-Fi, we soon enjoyed playing board games, walking and canoeing.. The walks on the property were well marked out

    There is no wifi or reception which is an absolute must in any resort.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially the manager Rohan. The rooms were clean, neat and very cosy. All rooms had heater's which were needed for the cold night's. There were gas stove and showers which were perfect during load shedding. Really good value for money. I recommend this place and will definitely visit again.

    My only issue was the bed felt a bit hard but it did not keep me form sleep ;). Cell reception not being available was actually a good thing for a getaway, but some others may not like that. There is however a wifi point close to reception for messaging and calling only, no internet

    Amazing views! Appreciated the gas geyser and ovens, additional lights and firewood to cater for load shedding. Very quite and peaceful getaway with cottages nestled amongst the trees on the edge of a stunning Lake
