uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, KwaZulu-Natal hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very aged facilities. The staff lack communication skills and literally grunt at requests. A beautiful steak for dinner was somehow botched. How much salt does a chef need to butcher a good piece of beef??? No thanks. This place will not see me again."

"Everything was spot on"

"The room was very clean and the grounds were stunning. The old colonial style in the bar and restaurant with all of the history attached to it are characterful. The staff were friendly and attentive. The rooms are a little tired in places but that does not detract from the ambiance. "

"5 out of 10."

"Location view and security aspect were outstanding. New rooms, were very clean and well organised: some lights (eg bathroom) did not work properly however, and no shelf/table space provided. Staff courteous and helpful, although some explanations needed to be extracted. Food variety and quality very good; but menu was illegible being tiny font light orange text on shiny white paper. Checkin required by guest using app was very tedious, esp on our arrival tired after a long day on the road."

"Clean perfect only shower spilling water down through curtain"

"Mattresses must be changed. Suites are very nice, and modern. Reeds should be cut to give view of lake. Staff are very helpful."

"We all loved the cabin ...bed comfort was fine and internet was okay. The amazing views and walks I really enjoyed. Everyone was friendly and our cabin was cleaned up each day thanks to the staff. I wouldnt hesitate to book again. Thanks for the lovely week at Elands Valley Resort."
