The pool was tiny, not clear from the photos; the location requires a 4x4 to get there safely, but you get that information only after making the non-refundable payment; it was great that all meals are offered, but because of the limited rooms and thus few guests, choice is limited and you don't know what you're gonna eat until they put it in front of you.

Breakfast was great, the staff was excellent - every single one of them was welcoming, polite, helpful, and generally made one feel special. The property has a good view of nature with surrounding hills. Free roaming horses, zebra and antelope made the setting absolutely relaxed. It is a small property boasting only five rooms, so you end up getting to know most if not all, of your fellow travelers - can be interesting or uncomfortable depending on one's personality. Was sort of mixed for me. No TV and no fridge in the rooms was unusual but made the stay very quiet and I loved that!,

The roads are shocking. Only fit for 4x4 vehicles preferably. As a result, guests are not keen to explore in the area any further.

The Lodge is set in a tranquil and very scenic area. A real get away if you are looking for one. The rooms are comfortable, the food is excellent. Fine dining in a remote location. Mandoza, the hospitality host is excellent and very accommodating to all your needs. The horses and zebras are a charming addition to the setting.

Nothing - everything was a wow, wow, wow!

Everything - it's the best service I've ever experienced. Mandoza was a great host, attended to our every need, very warm and engaging, met us outside the door each time we came back from our exploration trips, took interest in our daily plans and offered relevant local advice, managed our luggage, the best host I've ever come across. He's exceptional!

This family-run boutique hotel is a hidden gem, tucked away in tranquil Kamberg valley, with free-grazing horses and zebras and a small water stream - makes for immediate relaxation! Breathtaking hiking trails can be found in proximity. Breakfast buffet and menu are delicious and the five-course dinner menu with wine pairing were without a doubt the best cuisine we’ve had in the Drakensberg region! Last but not least: Qambathi’s team is lovely and professional, yet just informal enough to make you feel right at home. We were impressed by front of the house, assistant manager and all rounder Mendoza, who was of great support - assisting us with hiking tipps and hosting a private wine tasting for us. Will certainly be back!

There were some bugs in the room. Was a little annoying at night. I think this lodge could do with a spa 😄

Loved the location. Quiet and serene. Perfect getaway from the busy life of the city. Short walking trails. Love the horses. Even tho the weather wasn't in our favor, we still enjoyed our time there. All staff members including the chef were absolutely kind, welcoming and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean. Loved the different soap options 😄 The route to the lodge was very muddy from the storm so I was scared to drive out as I didn't have a 4x4. The Michael was so so kind to drive out with me to ensure we were safe. Thank you again.

The road to the property is not great, but thats SA for you and understandable if you want such an amazing scenery.

Amazing to relax after hiking in the drakensberg. It was above our expectations. Our best stay in South Africa by far!

Nothing at all. It is just lovely.

Ticked all the boxes for a quiet, tranquil place to stay in the country side. friendly staff, good food, lovely hospitality, amazing views and facilities. we wish we could have stayed longer.

Very disappointed in the room. I paid a lower price but did not realise that the room would be so much less impressive than the best ones.

Great selection at breakfast. Excellent gourmet meal - but was it really worth R500 pp?

Stayed in December 2022

Nothing. However I suggest that having a spa be something that could be considered in the future. it would be ideal.

1. The owners and staff are extremely pleasant and take keen interest in making your stay extra special. 2. Beautiful rooms with comfortable beds and a stunning bathroom. 3. The coffee machine in the room is a plus 4. Beautiful well manicured gardens and horses right outside your room 5. I loved the hanging egg chairs in the veranda which you can sit in for hours and just listen to sounds of nature 6. Excellent chef and a lovely 5 course dinner. Breakfast was also very scrumptious. 7. You will fall in love with resident dog Milo who really makes this place even more special. 8. A very warm homely place to just relax and break away from the busy city life
