Our house offered a breathtaking view of the Amphitheater and Tugela River, making it a truly peaceful retreat. The space is comfortable and cozy, with nothing but the soothing sound of birds to be heard. The hospitality and welcome were fantastic, and Heather, the owner, made us feel right at home. A perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying nature’s beauty.

Excellent location so much to do. The views were breath taking. People are friendly and welcoming. Excellent facilities. Security was excellent. No medical facilities near by almost stepped on a puff adder while walking on a path. More information on emergencies for snake bites required. Will definitely visit soon. Overall an excellent and magical destination.

We had lunch at the pig and plough, nice menu - slow service, however, we still enjoyed the food and the venue. The Thokozi restaurant and Deli, good food and a nice variety. Sandra se Winkel was an experience - well worth going to when you are in the area.

The Whistling Goat is an absolute gem.

The Whistling Goat is an absolute gem. The owners are hands on and very friendly. We ate breakfast there twice and both times the food and the service was outstanding. We also ate a meal at SPEIRS. This was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend a visit. Other places where we ate were The Lemon Tree Bistro, The Olde Duck, Moorcroft Manor and The Grind. I do not recommend that you eat at The Grind if you enjoy good food. The service there was awful and the food was not good at all. A trip up Sani Pass is an absolute must!! DON'T FORGET YOUR PASSPORT!! We, sadly did not have our passports with us. So, I guess we're going to have to go back for this adventure. Unless you have a 4 x 4 vehicle I most definitely do not recommend that you take the sand/gravel road to Nottingham Road. It is definitely NOT a normal vehicle friendly road.

Electricity cut of many times during our stay due to the switch tripping. Drain clogged in shower. Carpets not vacuumed but only swept with a broom, which was evident in our continuous sneezing upon entering the room. Geyser switch tripped on checkout day and therefore we could not shower in our room. Rooms need to be better maintained and cleaned.

There are several resorts and a number of smaller accommodations in this picturesque valley, a hotspot for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. It is close to the famous Sani Pass, where 4X4 enthusiasts can ascend one of the highest and most scenic trails in Southern Africa. The town has charming shops and eateries, and many of the resorts offer a host of activities, restaurants and outdoor adventure options.

The various accommodation options make it perfect for couples and families. Huge grounds allow you to get away for some peace and quiet if you want, but we did not feel overwhelmed by people and the place was full. You can either go and feed carrots to the horses or take a short drive to one of the many attractions in the area.
