레지스 리트리트(Ledges Retreat)

A lovely place in the mountain not far from the Amphie Theatre. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay.

The Ledges is in a gorgeous and tranquil Drakensberg location. The cottage was clean and comfortable and far exceeded our expectations. Owners Adrian and Jessica were exceedingly kind and generous and made a plan to get an important bag we’d left behind delivered to Johannesburg, for which we’re eternally grateful!

This is one of those hidden treasures if you are looking for a place to unwind and relax. Jessica was super helpful in getting our accommodation sorted. We checked into the Farmhouse for 2 nights which comfortably accommodated 6 people (and a little one). The lady at the front desk was friendly, helpful and full of smiles. The house is fully furnished with everything you need. The rooms are spacious, neat, fitted with heaters and serviced. Wifi is a bit spotty, exactly what we needed :). The surrounding views are picturesque and a short drive to Royal Natal Hope to be back soon.

Jessica, George ( the adorable dog and family member) and her team does an awesome job and were always helpful with a friendly smile. Would highly recommend and we would have loved to stay for a bit longer.

The rooms are quite spacious and neat. There is no dstv at this accommodation, only the SABC channels and unfortunately the wifi signal is very weak. There are no electric blankets in the rooms but the little fan heater does the trick. The room was also kitted with a microwave and bar fridge. Not sure if the place is under renovation but the outside leading to the rooms was a bit shabby and left much to be desired. Another con was the second parking, it is not secure by means of a gate or fence. This left me feeling nervous to leave our vehicle unattended there so we opted to park by the reception area. Not sure if they have security personnel but i did not see any. There is not much selection in the breakfast menu and 90 rand for an omelet is exorbitant. This accommodation is a 20 minute drive to royal natal. The staff is quite friendly and hospitable.

Quiet location with good facilities and stunning views.

The scenery is amazing, views incredible . We stayed in the Farm House which was very spacious and well kept. The breakfast was okay. There aren't a lot of amenities around ensure you are well stocked up on necessities. There are also only 2 places where you can dine close by, which had an hour waiting time when we were there, ensure you factor these in during peak times so that you avoid being hangry 🙂

My family and I stayed for one night on a trip back from the coast however we left wishing we could have stayed much longer. Jessica and her team were wonderfully kind. It felt like a home away from home but with sophistication and amazing service that I would expect from a top notch resort. We were able to book breakfast and the food was amazing as well as filling (definitely worth it). In addition to the updated Farmhouse furniture and welcoming feeling, the view of the mountains and the small stream makes this a place of serenity and peace. Will definitely be staying there again.
