Hi Guys,
I want to plan a getaway for me and my partner, I was thinking the Drakensberg... I know it's very cold and everything, but thats the whole point :) *wink*
Does anyone know of a nice B&B or Guest house on the mountain,or close to it? Maybe some activities that one can do/attend?
Thanks...

Well... I'm not looking at staying in a 5 star hotel, the whole idea is to get away and enjoy nature...

We go to the Cavern every year. It's a family-run business, and the family actually live and eat with the guests on the resort, so standards are always kept very high. Great walks, food, service, activities, and a great mountain location close to the Ampitheatre.

I have been here and it is lovely. If you are looking for somewhere with no children around you may want to look elsewhere as this is definitely a family friendly resort.
What they do have is a kiddies dining room so the grown ups can eat in peace.
I would go back in a flash, lovely place.
