Affordable Accommodation in Drakensberg?

[RedViking]

Haven't been there in many many years. Are there nice gems for under a R1000 per night, maybe closer to R800, two people. Bonus if it is pet friendly. Needs to be private, quiet, nature, berg, safe, secure.

Just planning for a break for when we do have finances again.

Must be able to access it by vehicle. Don't have bakkie or 4x4.

It will have to be for a normal sedan unfortunately. But flip, that looks nice!

It does look nice, for a decent price. Maybe shop around on that site.

There are a couple but you never know what you get. Some of those photos (and prices) are very outdated. Would be nice to get recommendations from people who have in recent years been at a place.

I've been to The Nest hotel there. But it's not pet friendly and more than R800.

i have looked a few times at drakensberg on airbnb and booking.com and it really feels expensive for what you get compared to what western cape / gauteng offers for a bit of a nature retreat. Definitely a premium for the location and people take advantage of it with either premium prices or cabins/cottages that have been run into the ground.

Was going to say check out africamps as i think they have opened up a drakensburg location but google says its about R2k a night...

Drakensberg you R1K + for accommodation thats the same quality as a place that's under R500 place at the coast

We have a place we go to in the Midlands, paying around R600 a night. But been going for many years so I think they charge us special rates, normal is probably R800/900,which is still very good. But Drakensberg looks very expensive to me. =(

ATKV Drakensville starts at R895 a night for 2 people. If you're on Vitality you'll get up to 25% off.

Thendele camp chalets ? Some of my friends who stayed there recommended it to us but we could never find accommodation whenever we tried but then we were always looking in high season and this one is busy that time.
