Guest Reviews

• Jolanda (10/5): awesome - All was Awesome - Location bit cold but was in the middel of our journey so suits us well
• John (10/5): -
• Richard (9/5): Lovely place to stay - Excellent accommodation which was extremely clean and comfortable. Not far from the main road but nice and quiet. Breakfast was really good and hosts are super friendly. Would definitely recommend this accommodation
• Sipho (10/5): - Everything was Superb. Nothing, All was well.
• Patricia (10/5): Drinkwater is on our list of places to stay, and we will certainly book in the next time we travel - The breakfast was excellent, and the facility is the perfect half-way stop-over for us on our way to Kruger National Park. The grounds are well kept, stunning tranquil gardens, and beautiful bird life - a peaceful place to relax after a long journey! Nothing could have been better! Our only regret was that we were unable to stay longer!!
• Dave (9/5): -
• Robert (10/5): Great for those en route to the Kruger Park from KZN. - The property is set 20km away from Ermelo, it was exceptionally close to a fantastic wedding venue called Perdekraal. The Drinkwater property is a working farm, the actual rooms are fantastic and exceptionally well furnished. The staff are amazing! Hands down one of the best stays we’ve had both locally in South Africa or overseas. Nothing to complain about!
• Olivier (9/5): Absolutely would recommend! Friendly staff, Zelda is a great host. Overall, our stay was a great! -
• craig (9/5): -
• Natalie (10/5): Country Stop-Over Will definately use this stop-over again! - Lovely and quiet location, rooms neat and comfortable and friendly staff!
• Jacqui (10/5): Absolutely perfect tranquil setting. - We were travelling between the Drakensberg and Kruger and this was an ideal venue for a half way stop. The rooms were amazing and far exceeded my expectations. Zelda was an absolute delight and could not have been more accommodating. We loved meeting the cat. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We absolutely loved our stay and will definately be back. If I had to complain - and I have no reason to - it would be that we only stayed one night. Not enough time.
• Bruce (10/5): -
• Keith (10/5): -
• John (10/5): If you’re looking to break the journey between KZN and the Kruger Park, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this - We had a full house breakfast. Started with fruit salad and yogurt. Both coffee and tea were available, including fruit juices. Three different types of bread for self making toast. Fried egg, tomato, bacon and pork sausage was served promptly. Many different preserves and jam next to the bread, also available. An outstanding breakfast. One is rarely afforded a breakfast of this quality. Not too much to complain about, even the weather was good.
• Sandra (10/5): So many thoughtful touches, we so appreciated. We’ll be back! - Very friendly staff and good location for an overnight stop. Mariaan is a most enthusiastic and welcoming host.
• stephen (10/5): - Zeer vriendelijke mevrouw met geveol voor humor !
• Paul (10/5): Super - Perfect location , superb accommodation and hosts with fantastic breakfast Nothing to not like all fantastic
• Tayla (10/5): Exceptional - We always stay here on our way to and from the Kruger and always have a wonderful stay. This time while in the Kruger I hurt my foot and was struggling to walk. Without being asked the host allowed us to park right in front of our accommodation and offered us breakfast in the room so I would not have to limp around as much. Truly fantastic service and compassion

• Sharon (10/5): Perfect! - Our stay was fabulous. The room was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. Our hosts were welcoming and did their best to make our stay exceptional. We will definitely stay there again on our way to the Kruger.
• Neil (9/5): Clean neat room and friendly host. - Close to the main road so easily accessible. A little far out of the town so dinner was difficult although there is a microwave and crockery in the room. Unfortunately no washing up facility so the dirty dishes stood out during the night.
