A good family option for staying in central Drakenberg near the park hike to Sphinx. The hotel has cabins; ours was a round traditional with thatched conic roof. Good food and a few option and views from the complex. A bit outdated but with a traditional old hotel aura.

The Nest has an olde world charm that impresses both the young and Old. The best part is the central location of this resort that is close to all the attractions in the Berg.i stayed in the super luxurious executive room which had the most stunning Mountain View’s.The food was also excellent and is included in the price.

We arrived at the Nest and were completely blown away. Our room had its own patio looking at the Drakensberg Mountains. Sliding glass doors gave us that view all day. The room was spacious and modern with 2 sinks and a soaking tub. We could have used some bath salts! Meals were included in the price of the room and were served in the elegant formal dining room. The food was delicious. We missed the Sunday roast at lunch but got some leftovers as appetizers that night. Lovely grounds, very kid friendly and in a beautiful area called the Champagne Valley. We were so happy we stayed an extra night.

As they advertise, The Nest is reminiscent of the old style hotels, with Table d' Houte meals and white linen. There is an olde world charm. The rooms are comfortable but do not have air conditioning which makes them hot in mid summer. The best feature of the hotel is the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff and a family type atmosphere which is very relaxing.

The reception staff were accommodating in letting me change rooms to be closer to the lodge as I was travelling solo. This is an all inclusive resort (excl drinks) but note that if you arrive early (before 1pm) they invite you to have lunch while you wait. This is good if you haven't had any lunch yet but that also means that you won't be able to have lunch on your check out day. As my check out day was a Sunday I would have preferred to not have lunch on check in day and rather on the Sunday (a carvery). This was only communicated to me after I'd had lunch and checked in. The dining room staff were very attentive and accommodating. My waitron Gugu was great! My room (9) was well appointed and modern but no separate bathroom - all in the 1 space. The balcony had lovely views of the 'Berg. This hotel is central to all activities in the berg. I enjoyed my 1 night stay.

The room wasn’t checked before we got there. Fireplace was not working, one of the heated blankets were not working. The dstv remote was for another room, the aircon remote needed batteries. It took 4-5hrs before someone assisted to get everything working, so we had to sit in a cold room until they got there.
