The setting was perfect. They cater for large groups or even perfect for a romantic getaway. Rooms and kitchen perfectly equip. Owners very friendly and we had an amazing breakfast. Close to the Royal Natal NP. A must stay at when in Northern Drakensberg area.

Situated halfway between Johannesburg and Durban, these cottages are an ideal stopover for an unrushed trip to or from Durban. The Berghouse offers a choice of 7 cottages, ranging from 5 bedrooms to 1, all fully equipped for self-catering including braai (barbeque) facilities. Breakfast is available and delivered to your room - great spoil! All units have log fireplaces which... More

Spent a weekend at Berghouse and Cottages and came away feeling very relaxed. I particulary enjoyed the fireplace inside as one of the nights was really cold. The staff were friendly and accommodating. There is lots of open space and the kids ran themselves ragged. No real kid specific activities are available but there are some beautiful walks. I wouldn't... More

Great panoramic views of the northern Drakensberg, and rustic yet comfortable accommodation. Overseas visitors might find the 3km dirt road somewhat daunting, depending upon what vehicle is being driven, because of its steepness in some places and hairpin bends. Watch out if you're considering going horse riding, the horses are somewhat wild.

Beautiful location with a quaint and charasmatic stone cottage. However one of our hosts was unaccomadating and refused a special request (we were all avid Olympic fans and they wouldn't allow us to watch 10 seconds of the 100meter final in their home). The linen was also very old and the beds uncomfortable. Must be noted our other host was... More

we stayed in the Thulathula cottage for three nights. The owner and his wife gave us a warm welcome and provided us with useful information about visiting the Royal Natal National Parc. The 3 km drive from the main road through the owners land was a real adventure but our normal (non 4x4) car managed to take it while driving... More

We stayed at Berghouse and Cottages for only 1 night - not nearly long enough. The view was spectacular to say the very least. We highly recommend this gem of a place, a comfortable laid-back environment, cozy cottages, helpful owners and optional catered meals are just a few reasons why. Our cottage was clean and neat and had everything we... More
