Massive property and very remote so you can really grasp the essence of the Drakensberg. We really enjoyed braai-ing on the Friday night with other backpackers - a social spot in the weekends. We had hamburgers at their restaurant the night before and were very happy with the meal.
It needs a lot of TLC especially the shared kitchens. We also had a lot of mosquitos in our room. As it is remote we highly recommended that you came prepared with food etc.

Otherwise it is a great place if well maintained. The staff was great especially Khetha.
The facility was not perfectly clean and there was a lot of mosquitoes. The geyser was problematic with hot water.
