    Room was spacious and clean, lovely private setting. Owners were welcoming and very accommodating. Lodge was in a beautiful setting and building itself was truly unique.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The owners made us feel very welcome. We were even served a great South African dinner made at our request, bob tie and peach melva. The room was large and glass doors opened on to a private flower garden. The grounds around the lodge are lovely. The location of the lodge gave easy access to all the surrounding sites, trails and beautiful countryside.

    Large, comfortable, well-equiped and serviced rooms with private outside space, set in glorious grounds. The owners went out of their way to be accommodating and gave us their personal attention, always in a cheerful manner. The hotel is well-situated relative to all parts of the Drakensberg and is easy to locate. There is an excellent Steakhouse restaurant minutes from the hotel for evening meals. The breakfasts were super. All-in-all, a great hotel.

    Food, area and tranquility.

    I had a wonderful stay. Th only annoying thing was the lack of cellphone and 3g reception in the rooms, meaning I had to move my laptop to the pool or dining area and make and receive calls from the same area. Other than that, it was perfect and I will be back either for business or holiday again.

    Meine Frau und ich waren für drei Nächte in der Winterton Country Lodge @ Rose Cottage. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, wozu auch besonders unsere netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber beigetragen haben. Die Zimmer sind sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet und außerdem sehr sauber und komfortabel. Zudem ist die Lage des Winterton Country Lodge @ Rose Cottage perfekt für unterschiedliche Ausflüge in die Drakensberge und Nationalparks. Bei unserer nächsten Reise in die Drakensberge werden wir uns definitv wieder für das Winterton Country Lodge @ Rose Cottage entscheiden und können es daher absolut weiterempfehlen.
