A fully self catering studio apartment is ready and available for a couple looking to relax and recharge their batteries in these quiet and beautiful surroundings in the Southern Drakensberg. Overlooking the rocky outcrop of Garden Castle , Bamboo Mountain and Lake Navarone, we are located close to the magnificent Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Hotel , with Spa and golf course (Subject to hotel entry fee). Just up the road you will find stunning Ezemevelo hiking trails in the majestic Drakensberg mountains. We offer free wifi the TV (full DSTV package)and a lounge light are wired into our inverter ensuring that load shedding doesn't affect guests ; a wheelchair friendly shower with both hand held and overhead shower rose; a small charcoal kettle braai. A single bed can be included by request.
I have traveled to over 15 different countries, but now I happily call the beautiful Drakensberg my home. When staying us, I am happy to give advice on various hikes, restaurants, and activities in the area. I love to meet new people and engage in conversations.
