Greenfire Drakensberg Lodge

Food was par excellence, left chubby but cheerful. Fireplace in dining room creates superb ambience. Loved the horses, spotted eland and a genet. You don't need a 4x4 to get there just a high clearance vehicle, sedans won't make it.

Would have liked an extra comfy chair in the room, one of us had to sit on the bed to read. Suggest a gas bottle and plate along with a gas operated kettle to be placed in the foyer of each duplex. Schlepping off to dining room for a cuppa was tiresome.

Jeremiah and his team were superb. From the hospitality and the personalized meals, the honesty bar, the breathtaking views, the fireplace all prepared in your room. The hiking trails available are spectacticular with views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Best sleep I've had in years. A hidden gem with tranquility.

You definitely need a vehicle with a high clearance. Perhaps the dogs in the dining area while eating not everyone's cup of tea. Otherwise a 10/10

The exceptional views are definitely hard to beat. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and the service is well considered. Multiple hiking options and a packed lunch to make it extra special.

If you are traveling from an all inclusive accommodation previously it would be great if the room had a bar fridge, just to keep extra drinks and food cold and fresh.

Great place to unwind...we loved the freedom and tranquility and quietness.

We did find ourselves on a bit of a mission when it came to getting help—whether it was warming up food for our young child or arranging activities. Jeremiah seemed quite committed to the word “no,” only occasionally reconsidering after a gentle nudge. It didn’t make for the most welcoming experience, and a refresher in customer etiquette might go a long way. This was our third visit, and unfortunately, the service seems to have taken a step backwards each time. Shaun was noticeably absent on this occasion, and overall our family felt a bit overlooked. To top it off, the broken toilet seat added an unexpected challenge—let’s just say it turned a simple sit-down into a balancing act!
