Description
Deep in the Southern Drakensberg, on the slopes of the highest mountain in the Cape, where the purest water springs from the earth, lies a haven from city life. Tiffindell Alpine Retreat is where melting snow keeps rivers running, while summer rains bring lushness to the valleys, in a terrain that resembles the Scottish Highlands. From your first welcoming drink, through to your final goodbye, our friendly staff will look after you and see to it that you have a relaxed and unforgettable stay at this unique African destination. This remote setting with its panoramic view of rolling green hills makes Tiffindell the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.
Join us for an escape you won’t forget!
