Drakensberg House

Bergview is within the Drakensberg Unesco World Heritage Site and is a security-patrolled estate where all kinds of African wildlife abounds. Wildebeest roam freely, and uniquely, there is a “vulture restaurant” where at feeding time, invitations extend to the rare and endangered Cape vulture.

Drakensberg House is a stone cottage with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is also a separate apartment which sleeps two guests. We would not rent the property to more than one family or group at any given time. The cottage has a traditional wood-burning stove and a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, hob and gas plates. There is an open-plan dining room with a four-seater dining table and a comfortable lounge. There is just under an acre of manicured gardens with an outdoor braai and a seating area, and there is adequate covered parking.

Taking a walk in the garden or the surrounding area; you may stumble across blue wildebeests, duikers, blesboks, Egyptian geese, servals, porcupines, jackals, baboons, vervet monkeys and several species of mongooses, as well as Cape clawless otters. We are just a stone’s throw from international hotels with swimming pools, a lake, boating, fishing, canopy tours, hot-air ballooning, helicopter rides, hiking, tennis, squash, bowls, pub and golf.
