The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Meals

I had an amazing experience with the dining options at Sandford Park. Every meal was freshly prepared, using ingredients right from their gardens. The taste of the dishes, especially the lettuce and tomatoes, was really good. I was thoroughly impressed with the four-course menu, which had a good variety every night. It's definitely a highlight of the stay.

Refreshing Outdoor Pool

The outdoor pool area was a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Surrounded by nature, it offered a refreshing escape. I liked the ambiance it provided, even though the weather was a bit chilly during my stay, it still felt relaxing.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The hotel offers a beautiful lake view and nice dining options, but the entrance road was extremely muddy, which caused us trouble. The rooms were mostly comfortable, but we experienced some service hiccups that could have been improved. Overall, it’s a decent option if you want to relax without any major adventures.

I had a pleasant two-night stay at this hotel. The rooms were decent, and the bathroom had a fantastic shower. The staff was very friendly, and both dinner and breakfast were enjoyable. While the hotel serves as a good base for exploring the Drakensberg, it doesn't offer a luxurious experience. Overall, it provided good value for money, but it's not overly spectacular.
