Kukummi Lodge - formerly Mackaya Bella Country Lodge features a hot tub and free private parking, and is within 7.3 km of Monks Cowl Country Club and 32 km of Winterton Museum. The property features mountain and garden views, and is 48 km from Spioenkop Nature Reserve. The property offers a shuttle service and features a garden and picnic area. Everything was fantastic: the food, activities, hosts, accommodations, and environment... Ryan and Danny were awesome and very knowledgable hosts and the cooking staff were very talented and friendly. The hiking was unparalleled and the view from our rondavel was breath-taking. We had no reason to leave and immersed ourselves in the experience for several days of hiking, swimming and relaxing. If you enjoy hiking and aspire to hike the Central Drakensberg mountains, this is THE place to stay.

Berghouse and Cottages is situated in a rural setting, high up in the Northern Drakensberg Hills, 30 km from Bergville.

Free WiFi is available in each cottage.

The cottages offer views of the Drakensberg mountains, a decor style of their own, a patio with a garden, tea-and-coffee-making facilities, and a log fireplace. Booked meals are a set menu. Wonderful place for a medium- to long-term getaway! Friendly reception, very clean and comfy accommodation with all amenities including a double(!) shower. Stunning view (if it isn't too hazy ;) and the ponies come up in the morning for a pat (and if you are not careful, to nibble on the things on your breakfast table...) We went for the breakfast and dinner option, which was delivered to the doorstep hot and on time, with a lot of love and attention going into the tasty food and its presentation.

The bed was completely luxurious and the attention to detail outstanding. The biscuits given with tea were home made, as were the scented shower bombs - just amazing. I asked for a takeaway breakfast which Tanya happily provided which was delicious. One of the best places I've stayed in South Africa. Would 100% go back.
