Drakensberg Sun Resort (Chalets & Apartments)

Drakensberg Sun Resort is one of South Africa’s most iconic mountain retreats, situated high in the dramatic landscape of the Cathkin Peak area. Known for its high-altitude luxury and breathtaking views, the resort is set amidst lush forests and overlooks its own expansive private lake. The architecture and décor are luxuriously rustic, featuring rich wooden finishes that perfectly complement the surrounding natural beauty. The resort offers a variety of accommodation tailored for independent living, including spacious self-catering chalets and apartments. Each unit is designed to be a home-away-from-home, featuring fully equipped kitchens, comfortable open-plan living areas with indoor fireplaces, and private braai facilities—perfect for those crisp mountain evenings. Whether you choose a unit facing the tranquil Lake Nkwanki or one with a panoramic view of the majestic Drakensberg peaks, the scenery is spectacular. Guests have access to an incredible range of on-site activities, from adventurous mountain biking and horse riding to peaceful trout fishing and canoeing on the lake. The resort also features four distinct hiking trails, including the popular Blue Grotto trail which leads to a scenic waterfall and pool. After a day of exploring, guests can unwind at the eco-friendly Spoilt Green Eco-Spa or enjoy a hearty home-style buffet at the Lakeview Restaurant.
