Excellent location, with magnificent views of the Drakensberg mountains, the chalets are well maintained and serviced, making for an extremely comfortable stay, well worth the stay and we would highly recommend it.

Review of Giants Cup Wilderness Reserve
Reviewed 29 Oct 2020
We loved every minute of our stay at Giants Cup Wilderness Reserve. Tash upgraded us to stay at Duckbay Lodge, which is on the edge of the lake.
Birdspotting was incredible, the walks were great, views unbeatable.
Trout pate with yummy homebred bread was a treat. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Giants Cup Wilderness ticked all the boxes. If you are into fly fishing, hiking or just looking for a weekend away this is the spot. The dam is the most scenic and stunning trout dam in the country with gin clear water and hard fighting trout.

Wonderful service, in a phenomenal setting. We stayed in a lovely secluded cottage, that had everything we needed. The staff are so friendly, and the freshly baked bread they delivered to us was an unexpected treat! Gorgeous views and utter relaxation in the midst of nature. Plenty of photo opportunities for the camera enthusiast, and beautiful walking trails. Herds of eland ambling along in the distance, and to experience that magical call of the jackal at the end of the day was the highlight of an incredible stay. Will definitely be back!! Would certainly recommend it to anyone.
