Unforgettable silence. Had a great time, two of my friends did sleep in the 'backpacker'. I would strongly recommend that you repair the paths to the backpacker, dirty, smelling of fish with open showers along the way to the rooms.

Onvergeetlike stilte. Heerlike tyd gehad, twee van my vriende het wel in die 'backpacker' geslaap. Ek sal ten sterkte aanbeveel dat julle die padjies na die backpacker opknap, vuil, ruik na vis met oop stortreën langs die pad kamers toe.

Extraordinary accommodation in a picturesque setting. We were allocated a bungalow. The pass is spacious and contains everything that is needed. The shuttle service to the Sentinel Peak parking lot is a plus. It is completely secluded and without any noise or other disturbing things and with exceptional views. Breakfast is included and is tasty. The only snag (literally) was the door of the unit which was not hung properly and had to be opened and closed with great difficulty.

Buitengewone verblyf in 'n skilderagtige omgewing. Ons is 'n bungalow toegeken. Die verbyf is ruim en bevat alles wat nodig is. Die pendeldiens na die parkeerterrein van Sentinel Peak is 'n pluspunt. Dit is heeltemal afgesonder en sonder enige geraas of ander hinderlike dinge en met uitsonderlike uitsigte. Ontbyt is ingesluit en is smaaklik. Die enigste haakplek (letterlik) was die deur van die eenheid wat nie behoorlik gehang is nie en met baie moeite oop- en toegemaak moes word.

Nice base camo for the Tugela Step route. Breakfast was included which was not advertised.

Lekker basis kamo vir die Tugela Stap roete. Ontbyt was ingesluit wat nie geadverteer was nie.

Sentinelverblyf. We had a very nice stay. Just a pity the weather was cloudy and we couldn't see the view of the amphitheater. The weather was so nice and cool. The food and drinks were very tasty and cheap. Everything was perfect! You will definitely see us again.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Net jammer die weer was bewolk en ons kon nie die uitsig van die amfiteater sien nie. Die weer was so lekker koel. Die kos en drankies was baie lekker gewees en goedkoop. Alles was perfek! Julle sal ons definitief weer sien.

Lovely location ideal for hiking to upper parts of Drakensberg. We stayed in one of the rondavels. The lodge is located in a very spectacular location with only few minutes' hike to the top of the mountain. The location is absolutely spectacular. The place is clean and quite well kept, although a couple of things could be improved (the curtain hook was missing and that's a very easy fix). The curtain in the door is very thin and does not block the light from the quite strong light outside, it would be good if those lights could be switched off (they appear to be permanently on). Food was nice, but the service in the restaurant was somehow slow and a bit unattentive. There is no self-catering facilities (perhaps the backpacker units have some), but this was not really a problem as the quality of the food was really good and there is plenty of tea and coffee. It would be nice to have a fridge for soft drinks in the room though. One thing that hikers should note is that this lodge is very high in the mountains - almost all hikes are downwards with steep climbs on the way up. Phase your strength accordingly as the return trip is a lot more tedious when you are tired. Despite the couple of small snags, we had a wonderful weekend and highly recommend the lodge.

Very pleasant visit. Will visit again. Would only like to see small fridge and a room as it is self catering. Fridge in room needed.

Baie aangename kuier. Sal weer besoek. Sal net klein yskas en 'n kamer wou sien aangesien dit selfsorg is. Yskas in kamer nodig.

Exceptional location, sad reception. The lodge is set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Amphitheater in the Northern Drakensberg. We overnighted in the Backpackers and found it spacious and neat. We used the shuttle service to the Sentinel gate which was very effective and on time. Sadly the reception was totally negative. The two ladies present did not greet us, nor smiled, rather gazed upon us as intruders. We left at 06:00 with the shuttle, and although our packed lunches (that was good) were ready, the reception was absent. Eventually, when she arrived late, she was still not greeting or even phased that she was late. This resulted in us leaving without proof of payments with the result that we had to pay additional fees for conservation. The additional fees for the hiking and conservation do not make any sense, looking at the state of the road, fences and tracks.
