더 네스트 드라켄스버그 호텔(The Nest Drakensberg Mountain Resort Hotel)

If you are a bowler, beginner or pro, the courses presented by Theuns Fraser and Simon Botha is a must join. They were present every moment of the course and spend a lot of time on individual help as well. Be careful of the surroundings and the fresh air, it could be contagious.

We love visiting The Nest. The gardens are looking magnificent. The walk down to Hippo pool is lovely. We enjoyed the bowls competition which is always so well run and such fun.

Definitely needs a revamp, i think they are doing a little in time but the room i was in was shabby and

Upon our arrival at reception, we were greeted by smiling, welcoming staff members. This attitude continued throughout our stay. The family mountain view accomodation was spacious, comfortable, well decorated & immaculate with wonderful views of the mountains. The meals were well presented & delicious. The mid morning & afternoon tea & coffee, served with tasty treats were another special touch. We enjoyed the walk along the river & the various other outdoor activities which were available. If you want to enjoy a relaxing getaway in an idyllic spot, The Nest is the place to be!

We are repeat visitors to the Berg and The Nest. The Nest offers such good value for money and as usual the staff, food etc was lovely. We are going back in April and always looks forward to our stays there.

Grading, facilities & meals is more likely a 2 star hotel. We did not enjoy our three night stay at the Nest. No WiFI is available outside of the dining area so you need to use our own data in the rooms. Hotel is not eco friendly and very out dated. Water takes 5 minutes to heat up and such a waste of natural resources. Rooms were very cold and required the under floor heating and electric blankets to remain switched on continuously also a waste of energy. Aged sanitary is discoloured, chipped and painted . There is no air conditioning. Walls are very thin, I could hear my neighbours. Food was the biggest disappointment, tiny tasteless and unappetising. Additional serving is allowed, but one feels like “Oliver Twist?” asking for a second helping. Staffs were friendly and polite.

A beautiful location to unwind, relax and enjoy the estate and its surrounds. The staff are friendly, very helpful and were always accommodating. We stayed for 4 nights and could definitely have stayed longer. It was a very relaxing trip with yummy meals being served.

We had the most wonderful getaway and wished we could have stayed longer! Lots of activities not only at the Nest itself but in the surrounding areas. Lovely spot for families with youngest, teenagers or adult children. We can't wait to go back.

We visited as two couples recently and have to say that this place is in good need of a makeover! Apparently Quinn Elizabeth II visited here when she was a 21-year-old. I don’t think that the place has had any refurbishment done since she visited. The meals were a bit like school dinners, although we have to see that the staff were very pleasant. Don’t think we would hurry back.
