A good starting point for walks.
The Sentinel room was nice with a good outlook to the mountains.
The food in the restaurant was not really special.
We wifi in the Sentinel room was very poor.
The hotel is in a great place for walking and has a beautiful aspect. The rooms are fairly standard with a good bathroom but fridge or tv. The hotel provides a good breakfast and food throughout the day and it is very good value. There are options to hire guides for mountain walking if you’re new to the area.
The bed had bugs. The sheets were not clean. The bathroom floor had tufts of hair everywhere.
The restaurant hardly had food. Each time we chose a meal we were told that it wasn't available.
Fantastic views, and the best place to start the hike to Tugela Falls. Very quiet. The only sounds at night were the sounds of the horses eating grass.
Excellent breakfast. The road to the property is paved, but the road from there to Sentinel Carpark is definitely a rock crawl and best left to a transfer by the lodge.
Note that there’s a fee to get to the property (save your receipt for the way out as they ask for it).
There is also the transfer fee and hiking fee.
Also, the queen size bed is German style (2 mattresses shoved together, each with separate bedding).
Very unique place to stay if you are hiking in the area. Our stay was very brief, arriving on one night and checking out and hiking the next day. The staff was great, assisting with transportation and packing a lunch since we would be missing breakfast. The room was very comfortable sized. Would recommend a side with a view of the mountains if you are staying a bit!
Agnes at check-in was kind and friendly. Another staff member came through and gave us some advice on our hike. The 4 x 4 trip return was with kind , informative drivers, Mr. Goodwin, I don't recall the gentleman that drove us back. He taught us things about the Drakensburg and Maluti Mountains that we didn't know. Eddie at the Sentinel parking was a gem. I absolutely loved our stay. Clean rooms, bedding and toilet/shower facilities. Thank you and all the best to you all always
Charming mountain lodge. The rooms are a little spare, but fine for the purpose of our stay. Clean. The restaurant and bar were excellent. Staff friendly and eager to please. Would stay there again.
