A place to relax and reset

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 May 2023
By far the best place to enjoy peace, tranquility and scenery. Very close to restaurants, Sani Pass and shops for essentials. The unit is stocked with firewood for heating and the jacuzzi bath is a lovely surprise

    Stunning setting surrounded by the beautiful southern Drakensberg with a dam on your doorstep. We stayed in Otter Cove unit which is a gorgeous unit with everything you need. Tash is most helpful with directions for walks and hikes and we look forward to visiting again.

    Room tip: The last stretch of the road to get to Giants Cup cottages is quite rough and high rise vehicles are recommended.

    Giants cup wilderness reserve is one of the most beautiful and stunning places we’ve ever had the joy of staying at. The views are simply breathtaking and the walks around the reserve and leading out onto the Giants Cup trail were food for the soul.
    The birding is out of this world, whether you choose to bird from the the garden porch or down at the lake or any of the trails.
    We were lucky enough to stay at both duck bay and otter cove cottages, both super pretty, modern, stylish and comfortable and spotlessly clean.
    Natasha is a wonderful host, extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and very accommodating to our needs and our two very busy toddlers!
    You have to see this place to experience the magic, it is very special!

    Room tip: All three cottages have beautiful views of the lake and underberg range

    I am not going to write a long review but please believe me when I say that this place is a real gem, especially if you want a quiet peaceful breakaway with beautiful scenery. And even better if you are a keen fly fisherman. The place is surreal and the facilities immaculate.

    Landscape is breathtaking. The unit had everything we needed and beautifully decorated. Plenty of wood supplied for the fireplace. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views from the unit and braai area. Very friendly hosts.
