Positive: On arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite (free), which was well equipped for our needs. Well located property with really pretty, well maintained garden areas. There is an infinity pool for residents’ use. The lodge itself is very impressive with some great features, including a thatched roof. As part of our deal, breakfast was included, but we also to chose to dine there each evening of our stay. There was a good choice of cold and hot food items for breakfast. Evening meals were good (hence we ate there each night !) and there were choices available. Restaurant Manageress, Princess, was welcoming. We saw a bit of the owners, Kerry, Ant & Ryan who were very friendly, offering up suggestions for things to do during our stay. Overall a great stay in the Drakensberg.
Negative: N/A
Summary: A great place to stay. Welcoming, friendly owners, good sized rooms and lovely food. Recommended.

Positive: The owners are always present and make sure you are well looked after. The breakfast and dinner were delicious! The Lodge is tucked away in a quiet corner of the Champagne Valley with beautiful views of Cathkin Peak.
Negative: They have beautiful antique furniture, which I must add gives the lodge a lot of character, but perhaps too many pieces in the room we stayed in which makes it a bit crowded.
Summary: Superb! Will definitely be back.
