    Serene, breathtaking and peaceful. This is pretty much a perfect stay to get away from city life and recharge. It's only 3.5 hours from Johannesburg, which makes it perfect for a weekend getaway. The wooden cabins are nestled into the mountain with amazing views overlooking a ravine/valley and the Drakensberg mountains. The cabins are basic but are neat, clean and have all the essentials to braai and cook a basic meal. A daybed on the deck would be ideal for relaxing, but that's just nitpicking! The location is also great, being close to several hiking trails in the national park and less than an hour from the small town of Clarens. Overall a great stay & highly recommended!

    What an amazing hidden gem!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there during December 2021. The wooden cabins are absolutely breathtaking and the views from the veranda is something to behold. The cabins are extremely well equipped and everything is of a high quality. We had a few cold evenings, but the complimentary wood and the indoor fireplace worked wonders and created a great atmosphere. The drive up to the cabins are a pure joy with lots of wild animals to see every day you drive the road. We saw Black Wildebeest, Zebra, Red hartebeest, etc. etc., we even saw a Jackal in the wild. San Parks, you can be very proud of this park and you staff. Everyone we met, from the check-in lady, the rangers, the shop keepers to the cleaners were neatly dressed in their official uniforms and were so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend the HMR to anyone.

    Really well-built log cabins near the top of a mountain with an incredible view. They have all the necessary cutlery, bedding etc There's a Weber outside for cooking and a fireplace inside for warmth which will be needed in winter There is electricity too which is nice.

    An awesome experience. Couple of things to keep in mind. At 2200m above sea level it gets cold. Take something warm for the night. The cabin has a fireplace and wood and firelighters and even matches are provided. Our wood was wet. Take your own. The cabin is a log cabin. It is dark inside. It gets worse with loadshedding. Take extra rechargeable lamps. It has lovely curtains inside that helps to keep the cold outside and the heat inside. Vodacom is the only mobile network provider for the area. Bring your own coffee and milk. Tea is provided. The night sky is absolutely awesome on a clear night. The cabin we stayed in had a double bed. It was too small, and the matress wonky. Otherwise a good experience. One less bucket list item

    The setting is astounding. The access road is a masterpiece of engineering. The construction of the chalets is an ecological marvel. The maintenance, facilities and cleanliness is immaculate. It's hard to believe that this is situated in a failed country.
