The Loft

Description

The Loft is a comfortable and charming renovated Victorian building near the ski slopes of Tiffindell. It is set snugly in the town of Barkly East in the alpine region of the Witteberg Mountains, Southern Drakensburg. This lovely house is the perfect place to stay when exploring this magnificent area.

The house has one delightful double bedroom with queen-bed; one comfortable twin bedroom, and the spacious Loft Suite upstairs. A communal kitchen is available for guests. The latter has beautiful views over the rooftops of Barkly East to the snow-capped mountains beyond. This is one of the few places in South Africa that experiences annual snowfalls. All the bedrooms are heated, and the house is north-facing, so it remains cosy in the chilly, snowy winters.

Choose to go on day drives to explore the many caves of San Rock Art in the vicinity, or go horse-back riding in the mountains. Perhaps a day on the ski slopes at Tiffindell takes your fancy, or a day lazing on the river with a picnic basket filled with scrumptious goodies. The birdlife is prolific, and the trout still take the bait. The alpine flowers are just beautiful, and you might spot a shooting star in the breath-taking night-sky. Meals available on request.

Check-In  01:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Great Outdoors: Choose to go on day drives to explore caves with San rock art, or go horseback riding in the mountains. You may want to take a picnic basket and spend a day on the river. The bird life is prolific and the trout still take the bait.

Glen Maskell, South Africa
14 May 2012
We were satisfied with our accomodation and were welcomed by Natasha. There were, however, some problems viz. The tap in the basin was not opening. There were a few fused bulbs which we had to replace. We were not issued with a receipt for our additional payment. Otherwise we were satisfied and comfortable.
