The make-over forms part of First Group’s large-scale four-year refurbishment programme of eight properties with a total investment of R179m and its mission to meet the ever-changing needs of families on vacation.
“Our focus was to enhance the comfort features of our accommodation while embracing the much-loved rustic appeal of the berg that has made this resort so popular. We believe we have achieved exactly that, based on the tremendous feedback from our guests,” said Tim Spencer, hotel director for First Group.
All design and décor options for the apartments, log cabins and chalets were carefully considered so as not to change the core reason why guests return year after year. A harmonious blend of warm and inviting colour schemes extend through to the refurbished furniture, curtaining and carpets that create a warm and welcome ambience.
The new king-size extra length beds fulfil the promise of added comfort to your stay. Fireplaces, a favourite winter feature, have been added to the self-catering units along with wall panel heaters in the bedrooms. The popular outdoor braai areas have been upgraded with roofing to ensure comfortable use throughout the year, especially in the rainy season.
Set against the scenic backdrop of the Southern Drakensberg, the resort features a host of outdoor adventure entertainment such as trout fishing, horse riding, archery, paintball and picnics. Spa treatments are also on offer as is a delectable breakfast, lunch and dinner menu at the famous Bushpot restaurant.
