The place was so nice and food was mostly nice. The place or chalet will be much comforting with Airconditioning. The conference centre was and was kept clean and tidy all the time. Receptions were always kind and helpful.

One of the best places to visit for tranquility, leisure and best suited for family outing. I enjoyed with my wife and kids on her special day as it was her Birthday weekend. The chalet was very accommodating and very clean.

Fortunately, although we were in November, we looked at the forecast for our stay and had to repack because winter came back, even with snow on the top of the mountains. There is a good wood burner stove in the lounge which heats up most of the unit, fortunately I had taken a small heater so could warm my bedroom at night. The units are semi-detached but well-spaced apart surrounded by lovely lawns. When sitting outside beware of the birds because their manners are not very good, so they do not mind where they mess. A very friendly peacock visited us regularly. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is certainly a lot to do or not do. This is a 4 star Berg Resort so don't expect prices of food to be the same as the takeaway down the street. Units are fully self catering with a braai outside and are serviced daily except Sunday. Although we had no children with us, they do have lots for the children to do.

The staff, from reception to the chef, and cleaning crew were AMAZING. Friendly, kind and very helpful. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The chalet was perfect for us, and we even had a visit from your gorgeous resident peacock - it was an honour to have visit us. 😀 The hike was lovely, although your map could do with a bit of adjustment, I found it difficult to work out where i was going and where to start - for people like me who are "directionally" challenged, (basically I am rigtingloos lol) a new map would be a great help. But we did find our way to the falls and it was stunning. We got to enjoy a divine curry for dinner and it was truly divine. The presentation was just as stunning. I have recommended Alpine Heath based on your staff! I do hope that you realise the gems that you have and that you appreciate them. Well done to all and keep it up.

I went this past weekend with my family. We all had a wonderful time. The trails were amazing. The rooms were clean and serviced well. What I enjoyed most was the activities they plan for the kids and adults and all were at no extra cost. I especially enjoyed the bring and braai, where you take your own meat and salads and they set up tables and the chefs braai for you with live music. Highly recommended. It’s also a bird watchers haven. We saw so many species.

Amazing views, manicured lawns and service was good. The resort is well kept and the entertainment for kids was great. The variety of food at the restaurants was limited with regard to vegetarian options. Food was average. The Chalet’s are spacious and well kept by the cleaning service, amenities are provided and replenished daily. Overall a great stay with stunning views.

They advertise on the side of the road... "Coffee Shop" "Pizzeria" "Village Market" "Tavern Bar" then you drive 15 minutes and get turned away at the main gate as they don't allow day visitors. Why advertise all of these venues on signboards on the road when you're just wasting my time!!!

Great place to holiday with the kids. Kids programme is great and all round everything is great value for money. Loved the life guard being on duty at the pool. Toddler splash pool was a win. Great views. Loved the option to self cater or eat out. Spa could be better.
