We found that reception was not really welcoming and did not give info on the trails. If you don't question them you don't get info. It's a bit disappointing considering that we go there almost exclusively to hike so they should try to help us at best.

The location is perfect to explore the Drakensberg from the sentinel car park which is only 7kms away. Nevertheless you'll need shuttle to access or a 4x4 with off-road driving experience. The lodge is nice and restaurant very good. Waiters and guides are very friendly.

The accommodation was to our expectation

Excellent mountain retreat with very comfortable rooms and stunning views. Perfect location to start hiking into the beautiful Drakensberg. The Tagula Falls are reachable within a days hike.

The rooms are comfortable but need a bit of maintenance.

It's the place for the hikers. Everything is well organized. The restaurant is good, the breakfast with a lot of choices and we can also order for picnics. Many hikes start from the Lodge and we can also book a driver to go to the Tugela falls and get the permits here. The view is beautiful obviously.

The road to the venue through the township is not all in good condition and clean from debris.

View from venue is breathtaking and the are is secluded.

Perfect location for those looking to do the Sentinel Peak hike. You can pay for shuttle service to the start of the hike and they offer packed lunches for your hike. Nice comfortable rooms with everything you need and a restaurant on site to have dinner.

The floor in our room had stains that need scrubbing.

The mountains, the view, breakfast was wonderful.

Beds were two singles and not a double, for couples sometimes that's a bit annoying.

Amazing location at the foot of the mountains with access to nice little trails and waterfalls!

Could use a little “facelift” but very comfortable and clean.

The views are spectacular, the staff beyond helpful and so friendly and the food was great.

Small technical issues like hanging door locks should be repaired.

My second stay there, this time in a chalet. Witsieshoek is always a great experience. Very nice restaurant, good breakfast and very friendly staff. The view as well as the surroundings are amazing.

transfer to the chain ladder should be better organized (especially for the way back where we had to wait 1 hour before getting pick up)

great place to hike , especially for the chain ladder hike. food is really good

The bathroom had an awful smell and the bedclothes had quite a few stains on them. Quite expensive for what it was.

Best location for the Tugela Falls hike. They provide a shuttle service to the start of the hike. Nice restaurant.

Cleanliness could be better

Location was great, located near the start of many beautiful hiking trails. Food in the restaurant was good. Beds were comfortable.

Numbering/name of the units, the names are too high and we tried opening another room. Thought the key was not working. Other people also tried to enter our room, so that is a problem.

We spent a night, to do the Tugela Falls hike. Everything was awesome.. staff are super friendly.

Stayed in February 2023

some of staff weren’t the most helpful, but others were.

if you want to the amphitheatre/chain ladder hike, this is the perfect spot. they also have access to a wealth of shorter, less intense hikes if you want to kill time. The views from the lodges are absolutely spectacular. The food is decent at the restaurant.

Everything worked for me as it was not my first time back.

Witsieshoek is perfectly situated to see the mountains even on your bed. Majestic!! Absolutely stunning.

The location of Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge cannot be beaten - it has stunning views. I loved the old-style communal lounge and dining area where one can meet other hikers / travelers. The staff were helpful.
