We loved being in Thendele. the place is unbeleivable. The view is breathtaking and the oportunity to walk around the camp in so many beatufiul places was amazing. The room itself is nice, the bathroom not that great. The area around the rooms, wtih the green grass, flowers, trees and amazing views is fantastic. You dont really need to fo... More

We stayed in the upper camp for 4 nigts. What a view! The landscape is truly stunning and so many great walks at your door. The view from Policemen's Helmet back to the huts is great for a lunch time spot. The huts are fairly spacious for 2 people and are cleaned every day. We found the reception shop had... More

What an amazing place! This is the best place to stay in the northern Drakensberg - stunning views, right next to the Amphitheatre! The views are truly breathtaking, and its a perfect base if you want to go hiking to Tugela Falls gorge. You just walk straight out the door and your on your way. We had a hut on... More

Stayed two nights - excellent cottage and truly amazing views. we had a front line cottage - superb. The Tugela Gorge walk is one of the main reasons for visiting. The chain ladders are not for the fainthearted!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the self catering Thendele camp. The accommodations are great and cleaned every day. We ended up with a two bedroom which is quite large with a large kitchen, dining area, living room and fire place. We had a stunning view from deck and braai area. Limited supplies are available in the Thendele gift shop, but... More

Stayed at Thendele for the second time and enjoyed it as much as the first visit. The views from the camp are breathtaking and they change with the time of day and the light. Perfect for relaxing, walking and enjoying a beer on an evening. No sign of baboons at the camp during our stay. The dam near the visitor... More

What an amazing place, absolutley beautiful. The accommodation was excellent, very comfortable, huge lawn area for the kids to play and walking trails going straight from the house. We stayed in one of the 6 bed cottages and would highly recommend, we were a family group of 5 adults and 3 young children. Did not see any baboons which I... More

I came here in October 2012 with a couple friends as part of a 5 night, 6 day Drakensberg trip. This was the last place we stayed, and certainly the most spectacularly situated (see the attached photo). We went on 3 beautiful hikes leaving from the huts--to Tiger Falls the afternoon of our arrival (pleasant but not impressive in the... More

We stayed in the lower camp. It was kind of a mini honeymoon. I was not expecting luxury as I often stay in Ezemvelo places, and I have an affection for them. However, there was a catalogue of problems which just about ruined our stay. Our first chalet only had a two hot plate stove, one hot plate wasn't working.... More

Very beautiful, peaceful setting. Three nights here Sept. 2011 was a highlight of a month-long trip. There is a great variety of hiking from your door. Kitchen and outdoor patio and brai. Attractive African themed rooms. The occasional baboons are entertaining - just don't leave doors unlocked or food out. Loud Guinea Fowl are colorful and fun. Even though the... More
