Berghouse and Cottages

Berghouse and Cottages is the perfect place to retreat and find yourself. This has become my annual venue of choice for renewal. Everything about it is simply perfect and the view reminds you of how majestic nature is.

Cottage 10 was beautiful and spacious with wonderful views of the mountains.

I truly loved everything about my stay here. As I drove in through the gravel road, I could see that the cottages were nice and secluded, so I knew it'd be a peaceful, quiet stay away from the city. I initially started at reception and met Chantal who was really lovely and friendly, and extremely helpful with some questions I had. I entered the accommodation as the sun was setting, and it exceeded any expectations I had. It was extremely cosy, the bed was amazing, I loved the bathroom, the kicthen was fully kitted out and it was clean. The blacony was also really nice and comfortable.

The location of the cottages is absolutely spectacular, with unparalleled views of the Drakensberg Mountains. The grounds and walking trails are superb and the cottage (on one level) was spacious and very tastefully furnished.

The access road to the cottage is nothing short of treacherous in wet conditions, and therefore it is essential to have a 4x4 vehicle. The food delivered to the room didn't really work for us as firstly there was no choice of menu at all, the quality of the food was at best average and quite repetitive. Leaving your leftover food and dirty plates, glasses and cutlery in the room overnight for collection also was not ideal. The cottage was not equipped with a kitchen sink which was a real problem given our previous observation of dirty plates etc left in the room overnight. We had one day of torrential rain which highlighted two other problems: The veranda roof to the front aspect leaked heavily, saturating the sun loungers and table and chairs. Secondly the flue for the wood burner dripped water continually on to the corrugated metal roof making a very irritating noise that disturbed our sleep.
