    stunning views
    spacious accommodations
    variety activities
    poor dining

    The location of Gooderson Drakensberg Golf and Spa Resort amazed me with stunning views and well-manicured gardens. The variety of activities, like the zipline and swimming pools, kept my family entertained. Our Eagles Nest Superior Family Room was spacious and clean, offering comfortable accommodations. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short. On our first night, my family faced a serious issue when vegetarian meals incorrectly contained pork, which went unresolved by the management until the next day. Although the staff ultimately apologized, it marred our stay. WiFi access was tedious, requiring a login every 250mb, which felt inconvenient. While the breakfast and buffet dinners were good, I found the dining options rather limited during peak times. Despite these hiccups, the resort has great potential, and the surrounding hiking trails were fantastic.

    The activities here are varied, especially for families. the waterpark, swings, and pony rides are a hit, ensuring the little ones have a blast. I also appreciated the scenic hiking trails and warm pool, adding to a diverse outdoor experience.

    The rooms are quite outdated, with issues like musty carpets and inconsistent cleanliness. Noise levels from nearby guests can disrupt your peace, and some facilities have seen better days, like broken sports equipment and a distinct lack of proper upkeep in various buildings. The dining options are limited during peak times, which can get frustrating—like when only a few restaurants were open despite the promise of more choices.

    gorgeous hikes
    spacious unit
    overpriced food

    Had a great time! The hikes were absolutely gorgeous, and the clean, spacious unit made for a comfy stay. Just a heads up, the restaurant food could use an upgrade as it felt overpriced for what we got.

    mountain views

    This was just a strong match for a budget stay in Drakensberg Garden with reasonable price. The location provided stunning mountain views that really made our stay enjoyable. Consider bringing your own snacks as the dining area can get quite noisy during peak hours.

    inconvenient store hours

    Stunning views and family fun

    Had an amazing week! The activities were endless – from ziplining to hiking. Plus, the outdoor dining area was a hit for our meals. On the downside, the small store had weird hours during the New Year, which was a bit annoying. the staff were super friendly and made our stay really enjoyable.
