Great spot to relax !

EXCELLENT STAY

An absolutely breathtaking venue and surrounding area as well. Sleeping to the sound of the ocean is one thing but sleeping to the sound of rapids running through the river is something to behold as well. Especially knowing that when you wake up in the morning to the surrounding mountain ranges you can take a walk down the front lawn and throw a fly line for some rainbow trout. I really want to go back soon. Absolute paradise!

The place is as per the photos on the website. Everything needed was there. The staff and the owners are friendly. Great place!!!

We will definitely visit again

The lodge itself was exceptional and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved it ... its very peaceful

Perfect cottage in the mountains of the southern drakensberg. Wonderful relaxing family trip. Steve the owner is brilliant.

We really enjoyed our stay at this fabulous establishment, the tube-rafting was excellent and the place is so beautiful, everything was perfect, thank you

Beautiful spot and 2 of the friendliest hosts you'll find. Stayed in the honeymoon suite and it is highly recommended. The kitchen also makes amazing food. My only wish is that we could've stayed longer.

We had a wonderful stay in Mangrove Cottage. It was perfectly equipped with everything one might need for a self catering stay. We are only sorry we didn't have another day to spend on the beautiful lawns overlooking the river. We will be back in the winter to put the fireplace to good use!

Hi Lynne and Steve Just a quick note to say thanks very much for having us over the weekend. Aside from the beautiful spot and great food, we were really made to feel at home (Ellie included). We will definitely be back soon. Regards Gary

We were a group of 12 people staying at Umzimkulu Lodge for 2 nights. I would definitely recommend this as a stayover if you are planning to visit this area. The host, Steve, is very friendly and accommodating. If I visit this area again, I would stay there again

We happened to drive by looking for a place to have lunch, when Steve happened to be passing by; he invited us in for lunch and showed us the grounds and inside one of the beautiful cottages. Although we didn't stay here, we have some experience with Berg area stays (north, central and southern) and this would rank first on our list for our next visit. The grounds are attractive, inviting and well maintained, there are ample amenities beyond just the excellent self-catering cottages, and we were pleased to see things of interest for young kids. The luxury log cabin, though beyond what we typically seek out, was stunning, with large open spaces and views overlooking the entry into the Umzimkulu River's Thrombosis Gorge. We've found that the best accommodations are those with the friendliest, most flexible owners; this would be no exception. We highly recommend a stay at this cozy retreat.

A Picturesque Retreat from City Life. What a gem! We had a brillant stay thank you and will be back with friends and family.

We love the proximity of the cottages to the river and the beautiful scenery.

We loved the peace and quiet, tranquil surroundings - just beaufiful. The managers Dawn & John are wonderful people.

We loved the proximity to the river. Secluded and private Giant Cabin. A perfect setting.
