Balgowan, South Africa

This place has a wonderful location in the Drakensberg and a reputation for unbelievable food. In reality the location is superb and the food outstanding in part, but not in whole. We booked for three nights and felt that two would have been better. We paid the extra bucks for a cottage (ours was number 10 with a Scandinavian theme...

My wife and I stayed here form 3 nights in Dec 2010. Not a bad location to stay when visiting the Natal Midlands region. Some aspects of the stay were great, for example the food was fantastic (both dinner and breakfast) and for the most part the staff were friendly. However, the MAJOR problem we had was with the reservation...

For the price you pay you would think they could have better bathrooms and underfloor heating - yes its lOvely and it has plenty going for it but i think they are charging for a reputation which they shouldnt have anymore :(
