Berghouse Accommodation:

Romantic, comfortable cottages with views of the Drakensberg mountains from the windows of the cottages are offered at this 1650 acre privately owned destination.

Log fireplaces in each cottage with an abundance of firewood supplied and charged per bundle used.

These cozy cottages are all fully equipped with kitchens and kitchenettes,including ovens and stoves, microwaves, kettles, etc to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The cottages are serviced in the mornings only, cleaning fees are included in the rates. Hidden amongst trees and shrubs, these privately situated cottages are within walking distance of one another, Phinda and Thokozela cottages are adjacent to each other whilst all the other cottages are free standing.

Don't be surprised to see an antelope or rabbit walk passed the cottage, as they enjoy the open spaces around the cottages, during your visit.

Enjoy an evening sitting around an open fire at the "mini Stone Henge" under a wonderful starry Milky Way, with a glass of your favorite, listening to the unique African night sounds such as jackal barking, Owls hooting, Night Jar bird calls as well as the Mountain Reedbucks sharp whistle eminating from the hill slopes near to the cottages.

Experience a booming Drakensberg Thunderstorm, also nicknamed the "Dragons wrath" as the Dragon(Draken) bellows fire across the skies and the sound similar to that of a thousand drums reverberate from the top of the escarpment, you have to see it to believe it!!

Numerous activities are offered on site including hiking and walks of various degrees of difficulty starting from the door of your abode to mountain biking and Trail running routes.4x4 routes are also offered, however you will need your own vehicle. Guided horse riding trails between 1 and 3 hours, on Basoto cross ponies is a box to tick as these trails take you through some "World Class geography".
