    No shelter over braai and the Drakensberg has rain or drizzle often. Please look into covering the patio area.

    The view and location is exceptional. It was clean and had everything we needed.

    Unfortunately because of the rain, the last stretch leading to the accommodation was muddy and it was not an easy drive.

    The entertainment area was a huge bonus because of the bad weather. We were able to have a braai and enjoy ourselves. Even though we were a large group, we still had privacy because of how the villas are built. The rooms are very spacious.

    Bathroom shower needs attention. Black Slate doesn't show mould so needs to be updated. Hot water tap faulty and holes in shower floor.

    The best location to see the range of mountains especially since it snowed. Very close to all other hotels, restaurants and activities. Very helpful and friendly staff. Accomodation is comfortable.

    Read what we loved about this property first! Although the property is a little bit dated, and could do with a refresh, and the pillows are flaccid and could do with replacing, don't forget that it's GREAT value compared to much pricier options in the area. Would def stay again.

    Location, great value if you want a cheaper price in a fab location, big bedrooms, big bath with lots of hot water, great views, comfy bed.

    The roads are a bit rough but then again so are most roads in South Africa these days.

    Great location with champagne castle as a backdrop. The unit was clean, comfy and spacious! We stayed over one night as a halfway between Johannesburg and KZN southcoast.

    Nil....if u want a self catering quiet get away to relax this is the place.

    Ryan was the most superb manager ever. Friendly and absolutely helpful and patient. Loved the quiet solitude and the beauty that surrounds each unit. The pool area is stunning. Far enough away from other guests to feel like you have the entire place to yourself. We went to just take a break away from the business if life and it was the perfect place to have found that peace. My dog was welcomed and had the time of his life running in the lagre grounds.

    Small finishings could be improved. The door to our bathroom was a bit wonky, the ceiling has a couple of cracks and the bathroom door did not click closed properly, one of the adapters in the room is broken too. Nothing bad per se, the units could just use a little attention to detail. Overall - great value for money and comfort for a self-catering stay.

    The location of the river crossing B&B is excellent. Just up the R600 before the main central Drakensberg hotels. Fenced-in rooms for added security. Pet friendly - dogs cannot get out. Ryan the manager was excellent and pulled out all the stops to ensure we were comfortable.
