"Our stay at Mount Sheba was exceptional and we hope to return in the near future. Mount Sheba is truly a hidden gem."

8.0

Nestled in the Grootfonteinberg, this boutique hotel offers the perfect retreat from busy city life with a 360 degree view of the beautiful lush rainforest and the mountain. There is no need to leave the property for sightseeing - one can enjoy a different hiking trail each day followed by a wonderful meal at one of the restaurants at the property. There is also a spa available for pamper and relaxation. Chilly evenings are filled with a welcoming warm fireplace in every room with wood provided daily. The staff are very friendly and helpful and attended to anything we required.

Certain sections of the 3km tar road are in desperate need of fixing, not just filling the holes after rain seasons. It would really improve the driving experience to the hotel.
