    This is a wonderful full board accommodation for those that are interested in visiting the Drakensberg mountains. There are walks and hikes that start from the property itself and they offer guided walks every morning. There is an abundance of things to do here for families and for couples. There is a bowling green, stables for horse rides, tennis courts, pool, board games, children’s play area with nannies to hire per hour, games room and TV rooms. All standard rooms are in a family-friendly area (more noisy) and don’t have TVs. All superior rooms and suites are in a different more private area of the resort and do have TVs. Wi-Fi only in the common area/lounge.
