  • "What an Adventure"

    04 April 2016

    "Only when you experience this GEM for real, in person, not on a website, can the beauty of this place be justified. <br /><br />I'm so glad we did not go with the every-day commercialized options for accommodation and found this place! <br /><br />The warmth of the hosts, the surrounding beauty of mountains - the incredible breakfast and supper, the view, the activities, horse riding experience, the cosy cottage with such beauty - everything left us in awe! <br /><br />We will most definitely come back and refer our friends and family!<br /><br />"

  • "Berghouse cottages"

    08 September 2015

    "We stayed at Berghouse (cottage 1) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cute cottage was rustic but fully equipped for a wonderful relaxing 3 days. The cottages are set far apart from each other so that each is really quiet and private. I can unreservedly recommend Berghouse"

  • "Wonderful family getaway!"

    17 June 2015

    "Had a lovely relaxing break at the Berghouse and Cottages. Great setting and views spectacular. The kids loved playing with the little ponies and loved their horse rides. My husband loved the mountain bike trails, and I loved curling up by the fire or on the picnic blanket with my book :) Lovely relaxed vibe and safe for the kids. Can really recommend ordering the odd meal from the main house, which they can deliver to your cottage. Really delicious, especially the breakfast! Will definitely be back!"

  • "Great stay"

    01 April 2015

    "Phezulu at the Berghouse is a stunningly decorated, fully equipped cottage in the most beautiful berg surroundings. We loved the ponies in the garden and enjoyed a 6 km walk to the Tugela river from the driveway. The environment was very friendly and peaceful, with help from the owners whenever we needed it."

  • "Epic weekend away!"

    03 November 2014

    10 September 2013

    "What an absolute gem!! We absolutely loved our stay at the Berghouse and Cottages! We stayed in the Thandanani cottage - a lovely quaint cosy cottage! The hosts are lovely! The views magnificent! We will most definitely be back!"

  • "The Berghouse"

    30 May 2013

    "I think our cottage was the darkest and coldest as it had no sun. The whole cottage Thula Thula needs attention. Big gaps around the doors made it drafty. The kitchenette had no space at all to do anything.<br></br> <b>Establishment's response</b><br></br> <i>We feel that Mr V D Merwe is unfair giving us such a poor response,however,we value all opinions and will seriously address bonified problems as of immediate effect, Thank you for bringing this comment to our attention.<br></br> Kind regards, Vaughn</i>"

    "Wonderful."

  • "Highly Recommend"

    09 May 2013

    "Sometimes you don't want to write a good review as you realise your favourite place may lose some of its magic as it becomes more popular. But it would be sinful to keep The Berghouse and Cottages secret. The accommodation is excellent and is only surpassed by the astonishing views of the Ampitheatre which are yours to enjoy. Don't forget your mountain bikes or trail running shoes - the property is big, well networked with paths and owner Vaughn is on hand with advice on where to go and what to do. He was also a surprising font of knowledge on trees - it was far more interesting to ask him about the local greenery than page through our very intimidating tree-books to figure out what was growing where. I highly recommend this venue - it is excellent value for money, and a real treat."

    29 April 2012

    "After a long gravel road, you arrive on a top of the hill in a beautiful place with a magic view of Drakensberg, Chantal with her charming smile is here as a perfect hostess. After a quiet night in the charming cottage you have a wonderfull breakfeast and you are ready for the world conquest."

  • "Berg House and Cottages"

    06 August 2010

    "This lovely, secluded spot is well worth the approximate 3kms dirt road driveway. Views of the Drakensberg Mountains are stunning. Cottages are well-appointed and comfortable. The little things can say a lot, and Vaughn and Chantal pay attention to these: strange as it may seem, the gorgeous smelling handmade bath soap (lemon grass) was a wonderful small touch of luxury, Vaughn coming to invite us to view their local browsing Eland and their very friendly dog who is an eager companion on walks around the property. A great stay."

You are allowed to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings and the welcome from Vaughn & Chantal put us at ease and one feels at home.The accommodation is very informal, homely and welcoming.The views are spectacular and the walks easy or a bit more for those who that exercise.The next time we visit we will stay longer and get involved in other activities such as fishing and biking and visit other places in the area.Keep up the good work and thanks for the rest. We have recommended Berg House and Cottages to our friends and even strangers."

    09 February 2009

    "This is a beautiful place with spectacular views.We will be back."

  • "House off the beaten track"

    06 December 2008

    "All rooms are placed in houses separate to the owner's. We didn't see other guests and felt very private. Breakfast and dinner were served in our own kitchen or on the patio. The French descendant landlady loves to cook herself (very recommendable!) and the landlord loves to get his guests known. We enjoyed the talks with him about work, life in South Africa and the best walks in the Royal Natal NP. You should consider that you need about 8 hours for a climb on the amphitheatre as the starting-point is still 1,5 hours away from the location. We then preferred the walk in the park at the foot of the amphitheatre.And: the way to the farm includes 3 (or 5?) km narrow, steep gravel road.Try it!!!"

  • "Fantastic accommodation"

    18 February 2007

    "Highly recommendable! When we read about the Drakensberg mountains, there couldn't be place that would fit more to our expectations than the Berghouse. This laid-back beautiful place was definitely the best accommodationwe had on our South Africa holidays. Chantal and Vaughn are very friendly and helpful. They gave us lots of good advice of what to do. We did exciting and fast horse riding and we made a huge fire at stone henge. The only thing we didn't like was, that we had to leave :-) If you want to know more about this place, just find out yourself, you won't regret it. "

  • "Berg Holiday"

    13 December 2006

    "It was for me and my Family one of the best vacations we ever had. The stone cottage was a great experience and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to relax away from the rat race. Making a fire in the middle of the "stonehenge" while the sun sets over the berg is an experience not to be missed. The view of the Drakensberg escarpment is wonderful. Thanks for a great vacation."

  • "Enjoyable stay"

    04 November 2006

  • "An unforgettable vista "

    13 August 2006

    "Our introduction to an unforgettable vista is a twisting gravel road that, although it appears challenging, deposits even the most low-slung sport model safely at the Berghouse. The stay at the Berghouse (our choice was the two-people self catering cottage) was restful and almost humbling in the presence of the majestic Drakensberg . Lookout points, an hour�s hiking (or less) from the Berghouse offers a 270 view of the Drakensberg that few other self-catering locations in the vicinity can match.The ponies are gentle on their inexperienced riders and the guides are experienced and patient. The 4x4 routes offers stunning views into deep valleys and take you to the banks of the nearby river, a perfect picnic spot.Our hosts provided the kind of professionalism and care that rounded off a perfect break-away for city slickers."

  • "Berg Cottages"

    12 January 2006

    "Unfortunately the weather was not good for our stay. We did not see a mountain, the view marred by mist! The cottage we stayed in, although lovely and adequate for our needs was incredibly noisy in the rain. The drips off the tree overhead was amplified on the roof. We left a day early, exhausted! If the roof had have been thatched, or not surrounded by trees it would have been much more pleasant. I am sure, had the weather been favourable, our opinion would have been very different. "

  • "Average"

    20 September 2005

    "We stayed over for just one night. Visitors should be made aware of the condition of the 2.5 km access road. Its definitely not suitable for all vehicles. We chose to have dinner and breakfast catered for. Not ideal if you have small kids. Dinner served strictly from 19h00 and breakfast from 08h00. Accomodation nice with lovely views but cottage seemed a bit 'un-finished'. Would be ideal for a group of friends/family who choose to self cater."

  • "Scottish Berg Visit"

    19 September 2005

    "A very warm welcome in this delightful place to stay. The track to the accommodation is a bit rough and requires patience (2.5km) but the effort is well worth it. Lovely cottages with a spectacular view and room to walk around the property too. Excellent breakfast served if required. The ability to have a communal fire and watch the moon/stars is a big bonus."

    "My partner and I had the most amazing weekend. The cottage is quaint and homely and Vaughn is a great host. Horseriding is a must as well as building a fire and having a braai overlooking the mountains. There's so much to do in the surrounding area that you'll never be bored. We'll definitley be back!"

  • "Fantastic spot"

    09 August 2005

    "The proprieters are wonderful and accommodating with good knowledge of the local attractions. Our daughter loved the horseback ride provided on-site. Cottage was huge and comfortable, and the view off the back porch truly amazing. Careful if you have a low-clearance vehicle coming up the long unpaved road off the R74 ... it's rough.

    Comment from Operator - We are happy to announce that we have recently constructed a new access route to THE BERGHOUSE AND COTTAGES - a vast improvement to the old route and road mentioned above."
