Drifters Drakensberg Mountain Lodge

 
 

Description

National Heritage Site, this 1000 hectare indigenous farm has to be seen to be believed. Accessible only by 4x4 or transport provided, this mountain lodge is situated at an elevation of 1800 meters above sea level and is shadowed by the greater Drakensberg peaks on the property.

The closest village is Bergville, some 50km away. Home to a colony of the rare Cape Vulture and many other indigenous species including Eland, as well as lush indigenous forests, Bushmen paintings and dramatic waterfalls, the reserve is fantastic for hiking and exploring.

Accommodation is in seven Canadian styled log cabins, each comprising of two twin-bedded bedrooms sharing a bathroom. Self-drive clients enjoy a bathroom en-suite. Each room has a fireplace. A main communal cabin for eating and a cosy bar for socializing overlooks the Royal Natal National Park’s famous Amphitheatre. Activities include.

Long weekend stay at Drifters - Drakensburg
Ryan Scott, South Africa
11 April 2010
Our stay at Drifters was amazing. Our hosts Adri and Otto were most hospitable and accommodating, right down to a personal call when it was dinner time! What a lovely setting, fantastic food and peaceful atmosphere! Thanks - Ryan & Bernie
Amazing stay in Drankensburg

Thank you so much for an amazing stay, the cabins were wonderful, the food was great and the hosts were super friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Drifters Lodge to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful area of SA. However, be warned that the Drifter hike is not a walk in the park! I would case it as a hard walk... take sunscreen and lots of water and be prepared for at least a 6 hour hike up and down the mountain! Very nice hike though, really enjoyed it. Thanks Otto.
We had an absolutely fabulous time.

It was so quiet and peaceful, and the service we received was out of this world. We will most definitely be back for another stay very soon! A big thank you to Otto and Adri for making our stay memorable.

Always great to stay in the mountains and Drifters provides value for money with personal service. Will return with the kids one day.
Wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at the Inn. Adri and Otto looked after our every need and were happy to deal with the mob of 5 kids under the age of 6. With the hiking; fishing and mountain biking as well as the awesome location it was a great place to visit. Before our stay, we were even advised to bring up extra blankets as it had been really cold there ----great service
