Drakensberg Sun had a fantastic location, although I did not realise it would be a 6-hour transfer from Hluhluwe! The room was beautiful, very luxurious. The hotel itself was too big. There was only one canteen, no quiet restaurant. The food was poor, there was only one small bar which was off the main dining room so was noisy, smelly and too busy. Not such a great choice
The rally competitors thoroughly enjoyed their day off at Drakensberg Sun and several spent the day on the golf course. The route from Swaziland via Rourke's Drift to the Berg and then to the Wild Coast was considered the most spectacular of the event. Overall the event was a great success.
Very disappointing!The first room we were taken to was a "smokers room". We asked for another and were taken to a dark room with no view and very small windows! We had to spend our first night there until we were moved the next day into one of the rooms attached to the Presidential suite, which was fine.
Meals were all buffet style (food was warm rather than hot)and no a la carte restaurant.
Also Activities desk was rarely manned and generally unhelpful. No use of bowling greens for social bowls except Thursday afternoon and no guided walks for socail walkers (hikes on both days were 5-hours each - so only for serious walkers!)
A la carte menu rather than buffet every night would have been welcomed.
