Drakensberg Mountain Retreat

Mountain Retreat in the Northern Drakensberg offering tranquility and peace and spectacular views

Drakensberg Mountain Retreat, a must visit haven in this busy world, is perched on the crest of the KZN / Free State escarpment overlooking the northern and central Drakensberg. The free roaming horses, freshness, wild beauty and calming silence of the place are worth every meter of the 15km of bumpy district road which lead to the farm.

Drakensberg Mountain Retreat is low key and you are invited in this quiet wonderfully comfortable place to take it easy, relax, put up your feet and unwind.  It is an ideal place to rest, reflect and take stock. It is loved by those who like old fashioned holidays, peace and quiet, excellent home cooked food and superb walks and hikes.

The less active read or play board games near the fire, indulge in a game of croquet or snooker or just lose themselves in the ever changing views.
For the active there is - hiking , birding and mountain biking on the farm, and nearby opportunities for horse-riding golfing and fishing – as well as great day trips Royal Natal National Park, Golden Gate National Park and the walk to the top of the Amphitheatre at Sentinel Peak.

There are two comfortable, characterful accommodation venues both with indoor gardens and pools:

  • The more up market DB&B Vergzient Lodge, is a special place for couples to spend quality time together.Vergezient Lodge, with its numerous lounges and fireplaces, is comfortably furnished and has an elegant, old-fashioned feel, while maintaining that rustic farm house charm.

It is one of the best views of the Northern Drakensberg. Tasty and wholesome food, cooked with passion and loved by guests will add to your experience.

  • The Zondertwyfel Barnhouse - a superb venue for groups of 10 to 24 people - is either self catered or fully catered. It`s large function room is ideal for small conferences, weddings, family gatherings and retreats. The Zonderntwyfel Barnhouse offers much more than comfortable, affordable accommodation. It`s spectacular views, vast spaces, wild winds, superb walks and extraordinary silence, make it the perfect place to experience the beauty and magnificence of the Drakensberg.
