Stayed at Casteburn for a family holiday break. The road which have been tarred is a bonus but be aware of potholes. Overall it was OK but the restaurant which burned down was not well communicated. Some alternative measures could have bee put in place. Maintenance levels can be better. The levy for a facility which one does not use,... More

Castleburn is a small, friendly resort nestled amongst hilly countryside with the beautiful southern Drakensberg mountains forming a backdrop. We were given one of the cottages near the lake which is really very pretty. The canoeing, walks, putt putt course are all lovely relaxing activities. We stayed there in June so it was very cold but they supplied us with... More

My Husband Geoff and I arrived on the 11th Jan very late but the keys were ready at the gate. The first 4 weeks accomadation was the fisherman's apartments ( flats ) which was comfortable as there were 2 bathrooms. There are also 2 very good size bedrooms one double and a twin. The balcony had a B.B.Q and table... More

This must be one of the best places to visit to unwind and relax. We were lucky to stay in a unit very close to the lake and it was a great 4 days. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed because of the recent fire but we still had a great stay.

Arriving in the beautiful peaceful area was the first pleasant experience as the staff were friendly and welcoming and none of the facilities was crowded despite it being peak holiday season. Even though staff were coping with the difficulties of arranging functions in a temporary marquee after a fire, still we had a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The waiters served with... More

Our chalet's geyser broke and we were without hot water for two days - not the greatest expereince. I have to agree with the some of the other reviewers that... More

Staff are very obliging and great service provided. Pity that during our stay a... More

The beauty of the surrounds of Castleburn simply took our breath away! The mountains changed character with the changing light and still had wisps of snow on them. The resort was well furnished and very comfortable - the underfloor heating was a great bonus during cool evenings. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant and although the service was... More

We had a break up at Castleburn, and were very happy with the stay. Our holiday was with 2 other couples, and the unit we were issued was more than sufficient space wise for 6 of us. The units were neat and clean, and were specked out with good furniture and equipment. We were right on the doorstep of the... More
