    We went to hike at the Royal Natal National Park, which is about 15 minutes driven from Ledges Retreat. We had a wonderful stay at Ledges Retreat. The rooms are beautifully done and clean. The common kitchen is large and fully kitted. We ordered dinner on our second night, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, the place offers real value for money.

    Nothing - everything was excellent.

    This place is excellent. Lovely staff, a great location amongst the mountains and a very nice room and dining facilities too. The Wi-Fi was also excellent. They also have a dog which was happy to be stroked. Very friendly.

    We chose to have our meals provided by the property. Dinner the first night was lovely full of vegetables, salads, and options for our vegetarian group. If I return, I will opt out of breakfast and bring my own supplies. The options were not our favorite- the juice and coffee are instant and a personal preference would be to eat earlier than 730a to start an early day of hiking. Overall, will book again!

    The sunset!!! The view from our chalet was exceptional, the service and communication by every staff member was timely, courteous, and friendly. The accommodations were more than ample. Kitchen is well-stocked with all the pots and pans for cooking, though no seasonings but they inform you of this well in advance to be prepared. The natural pools just a short walk are a lovely spot to swim and read by the water.

    Parking is a little bit away from chalets, and unloading/loading of our luggage took some doing

    We booked Two-Bedroom Chalet and found it very comfortable and well equipped. Friendly and supportive staff. Surrounding landscape is amazing. Close to the Royal Natal National Park Gate.

    There is no option for indoor seating when dining. We had to bring in the outdoor chairs. The bathroom door kept coming off the hinges so we couldn't open or close it properly. It would be nice to have a hairdryer in the room. The walls are a bit thin so sometimes you can hear other residents.

    Nokwe (receptionist) is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The Ledges Retreat is based in a beautiful and peaceful setting not too far from the local restaurants. The room is very cosy.

    Everything. This was the most fantastic stay! My room was amazing, with a bath and shower, and even though there was a communal kitchen, my room had a microwave and fridge, which I wasn't expecting. The meals were phenomenal, and the pool was out of this world. And most of all, I'm surprised and happy to find the entire road to the retreat was paved! So sick of hidden gravel roads.

    A couple of very minor things: the bathroom door was too heavy too close properly and the water pressure in the bathroom sink was almost too low to wash hands.

    A little slice of paradise in an idyllic setting. Our stay was comfortable and warm, offering everything we needed to rest. The room was well appointed with tea and coffee making supplies, a fridge and tv. Bathroom was huge.

    The Wild Black Berry tree located in the middle of all the activities attracted so many birds one could almost pick the birds like fruit. As a bird lover I fully enjoyed the activeness of all these birds. It was the 1st time I saw an entire flock of the African Olive Pigeons. The view of the mountain is stunning. There is a picnic spot next to the river which were flowing very strong during our stay. Based on the handwritten bord at the river, when it is not in flood, one could easily cool off in a pond in the river. The facility is ideally located for hiking or mountain-biking. The facilities are very clean, well looked after and one can definitely have a longer stay in the region. A definite repeat for us as a family :-)

    Create paths for walks from the site, especially across the river, so that guests do not have to drive somewhere else in search.

    Location was good. More pressure on roads authorities required to maintain the roads and fil potholes.

    Lovely B&b. Wel maintained rooms with nice bathroom ( bath & separate rain shower ) Set in a beautiful garden with swimming pool. Very quiet. Possibility to have Breakfast and dinner on site. We had an early morning excursion. A 'private breakfast' was waiting in our room when we returned after the excursion. Thank you for going the extra mile. Close to the National park with beautiful hikes.

    There were some problems with the wifi, the signal didn't reach our room.

    The lady at the reception was very welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed talking with her! She made sure we are comfortable and safe and gave us a lot of tips for hikes in the surrounding. We stayed at the retreat during low season and there were only few guests. Nevertheless the chef always prepared a big variety of different dishes which were delicious and more than enough!
