The best accommodation in the Berg! What a gem! Glorious views of the sunrise. Extremely comfortable and wonderful with outdoor braai and indoor fireplace. The most welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts. We will be back regularly!

Quiet, calm and peaceful. Valleyview Cottage has everything you need and expect for self-catering. An excellent location that is close to many different activities and adventures.

Good vibes, good view, good company! Would recommend. Perfect stay for us students on a budget! Fabulous location with access to Drakensberg Sun in the off season, which was a huge bonus. Would highly recommend!

Base for exploring Champagne Valley after hiking in the Berg. Very nice stay. House is comfortable, neat and met all our needs. Fantastic surroundings with several beautiful hiking trails on our doorstep.

Basis vir verkenning van Champagne Valley na staproete in die Berg. Baie lekker gebly. Huis is gerieflik, netjies en het aan al ons behoeftes voldoen. Fantastiese omgewing met verskeie mooi staproetes op ons drempel.

Wonderful relaxing week at the Drakensberg. Pros: The location was 10/10. Views spectacular. Safety and security, perfect. Well equipped. Beautiful cottage. Cons: Water pressure was a problem, upstairs bathroom didn't have water. Furniture is a bit outdated and needs some updating. The cottage needs some maintenance. Other than that, we spent a lovely week, visiting nearby attractions and keeping warm around the fireplace.

Dear Ashni, many thanks for your feedback. You are most welcome to visit us again. After your departure, it took a plumber 3 days to find the leak (the Berg is a big place), but our water pressure is finally sorted out.

Peaceful and quiet. Had a very nice stay. Unfortunately nothing for children to enjoy themselves.

Rustig en stil. Het baie lekker gebly. Ongelukkig niks vir kinders om hulself te geniet nie.

A place for rest and peace for soul and body. The house is located in a wonderful place with nature clean and tranquility around you. With peace of mind that you live in a security complex, it causes one to be more peaceful and can switch off with the nature around you. The eagles and vultures were special with many other bird species to see. Enough golf courses for those who want to take on a challenge and so much to do and see in the area. The braai facility and boma fire pit make it that much more enjoyable to sit next to the campfire and look at the universe with satellites that occasionally pass by you.

N plek vir rus en vrede vir siel en liggaam. Die huisie is geleë in n wonderlike plek met natuur skoon en rustigheid om jou. Met gemoedsrus dat jy in n sekuriteitskompleks woonagtig is, dit veroorsaak dat n mens net meer rustig is en kan afskakel met die natuur om jou. Die arende en aasvoëls was besonders gewees met baie ander voël spesies om te aanskou. Genoeg golfbane vir die wat n uitdaging wil aanpak en soveel om te doen en te sien in die omgewing. Die braai fasiliteit en boma vuurpit maak dit net soveel meer aangenaam om langs die kampvuur te sit en na die heelal te kan kyk met satelliete wat kort-kort verby jou kom.

Unpleasant. I was deeply disappointed in the place. We booked for 3 nights, but only stayed for 1 night. When we walked in, the place had a very sour smell, as if the bedding hadn't been washed. We just unpacked and opened the doors and windows. As we lay down, we saw dead spiders and cobwebs everywhere. I thought: "Okay, we're in the mountains and nature, so whatever." When we wanted to drink something and touch the glasses, it was so sticky. Then we started looking at the plates and cutlery — the same story. It was so sticky you'll just squirm. We then tried washing it with the watered-down soap, but the dirty sponge was even more squirm. We then decided to go to Spar and buy paper plates and glasses. The pans you have to cook in are so rusty you'll get sick! When we wanted to braai that night, the grill was so burnt and broken that your meat would just fall through onto the coals. The upstairs bathroom still had someone else’s travel mugs in it, and a random Ziplok bag sitting there. The downstairs bathroom in the shower also had dead spiders and hair that hadn’t been flushed down the drain, and it was just lying there. The porch outside clearly hadn’t been cleaned that morning — old bird poop from days ago. The table was full of dust, as were the benches, and you just collapse when you sit down. The place definitely hadn’t been cleaned before we came. The floor hadn’t been swept or mopped, and it wasn’t a quick R500.00 booking. The place needs urgent maintenance and a good cleaning. You can’t expect to take people’s money and offer them a place like that. I have a place on Airbnb myself, and this one isn’t on. I definitely won't be returning. I had to ask for the code for the door. If I hadn't asked, they probably wouldn't have said anything. When I asked for a pin (we entered the place on three different phones and all three showed something different), I was just sent a screenshot with the message: "Put this in your folder," which we did. So when we were in the area, we stopped and asked, because the host wasn't much help or friendly. We had to go through all the drawers and look for the keys for the rest of the doors. I don't even know where they were scratched out! Thanks to the website for all your help and the refund of our two nights, but the place doesn't belong on your website until improvements are made and a proper cleaning is done before each guest checks in.

Onaangenaam. Ek was diep teleurgestel in die plek. Ons het vir 3 aande bespreek, maar het net vir 1 aand gebly. Toe ons instap, het die plek ’n baie suur reuk gehad, so asof die beddegoed nie gewas is nie. Ons het maar uitgepak en die deure en vensters oopgemaak. Soos ons gaan lê, sien ons dooie spinnekoppe en spinnerakke oral. Ek het toe gedink: "Oky, ons is in die berge en natuur, so whatever." Toe ons iets wil drink en aan die glase vat, was dit so taai. Ons begin toe kyk na die borde en eetgerei — dieselfde storie. Dit was só taai jy gril sommer. Ons het dit toe maar probeer was met die afgewaterde seep, maar die vuil sponsie was nog meer grillerig. Ons het toe besluit om Spar toe te gaan en papierborde en glase te koop. Die panne waarin jy kos moet maak, is só geroes jy sal siek word! Toe ons daardie aand wou braai, was die rooster al so deurgebraai en stukkend dat jou vleis sommer deurval op die kole. Die badkamer bo het nog iemand se travel mugs in, en ’n random Ziplok-sakkie wat daar staan. Die badkamer onder in die stort het ook dooie spinnekoppe en hare wat nie in die drein afgespoel het nie, en dit het net daar gelê. Die stoep buite is duidelik nie die oggend skoongemaak nie — ou voeltjiekakies van dae lank. Die tafel was vol stof, soos ook die banke, en jy val sommer in as jy gaan sit. Die plek is beslis nie skoongemaak voor ons gekom het nie. Die vloer is nie gevee of gewas nie, en dit was nie ’n vinnige R500.00-bespreking nie. Die plek het dringende instandhouding en ’n goeie skoonmaak nodig. Jy kan nie verwag om mense se geld te neem en so ’n plek vir hulle aan te bied nie. Ek self het ’n plekkie op Airbnb, en hierdie is nie aan nie. Ek sal beslis nie terugkeer nie. Ek moes die kode aanvra vir die deur. As ek nie gevra het nie, sou hulle seker net niks gesê het nie. Toe ek vra vir ’n pin (ons het die plek op drie verskillende fone ingesit en al drie het iets anders gewys), is daar net vir my ’n screenshot gestuur met die boodskap: "Sit dit in jou map," wat ons toe gedoen het. Ons het toe maar, toe ons in die area was, gestop en gevra, want die gasheer was nie veel van hulp of juis vriendelik nie. Ons moes deur al die laaie gaan en soek vir die sleutels vir die res van die deure. Ek weet nie eers waar dit toe uitgekrap is nie! Dankie aan die webtuiste vir al julle hulp en die terugbetaling van ons twee aande, maar die plek hoort nie op julle webtuiste totdat daar verbetering aangebring is en daar ’n ordentlike skoonmaak gedoen is voor elke gas inboek nie.
