Drakensberg Inn

A National Heritage Site, this 1000-hectare farm has to be seen to be appreciated. Accessible only by 4 x 4 vehicle or transfer arranged with us, this mountain lodge is at an elevation of 1800 meters above sea level and lies in the shadow of the greater Drakensberg peak on the property – the ideal mountain getaway, lush green in summer and often snow covered in winter.

The cliffs above us are home to a colony of Cape Vultures, the foothills home to Eland and many other animal and bird species as well as lush indigenous forests with hidden caves and Bushmen paintings. Dramatic waterfalls, deep valleys, and high peaks provide the ideal terrain for hiking, climbing, exploring, mountain biking, horse riding, or simply taking in the views. A large, stocked dam makes for refreshing swimming or may keep those fly-fishermen occupied. Guided horse trails are available on request.

Accommodation is in Canadian styled log cabins, each en-suite, twin-room with its own fireplace. A main communal lounge, dining area, and cosy bar for socialising overlook the Royal Natal National Park and famous Amphitheatre. All meals are catered at the Inn.

Danie and his staff look forward to ensuring that you enjoy your time with us at this special place.

From the R74 between Harrismith and Bergville, follow signs to the Northern Natal Drakensberg / Royal Natal / Alpine Heath. From Alpine Heath resort a 5 km 4x4 track takes you up to the Drifters In, or Drifters will collect you of arranged with our offices.
