Attractions and Activities


The Drakensberg Mountain Range is one of the finest hiking destinations in South Africa - and possibly Africa. A network of footpaths connects foothills and along the way, the paths take you to most of the main peaks and key attractions.

Most trails are in age old indigenous forests dotted with streams, waterfalls and pools. Others are in the open on the grassy plains and display panoramic views of the mountains. No matter which trail you choose you will not fail to be amazed at how beautiful the area is and understand why it was awarded world heritage status.

There are a large number of fun filled activities for both adults and children alike, right on our doorstep. Within easy walking distance of the Drakensberg Sun Hotel there is a lake with boating and daily pleasure cruises as well as trout fishing, tennis and squash courts, bowling, swimming pools, video arcade, horse riding, chip and putt golf course. Live music is also provided during season in either the fighting trout pub or the restaurant.

In the nearby vicinity (5 -10 minutes drive) there is a championship golf course at Champagne sports resort, birds of prey demonstrations at Falcon ridge, concerts at the world renowned Drakensberg Boys Choir School as well as quad biking, micro light flights and a number of shops selling clothing, health products, curios, art and crafts, jewellery and more.
