Drakensberg
Literally translated, Drakensberg means "Dragon Mountains" and was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Why Drakensberg?
The Drakensberg Mountains have always had a mysterious pull on those seeking peace and tranquillity, as if the answers to all life's questions are contained within its gargantuan peaks. This Great Escarpment holds many treasures to be experienced, and many a weary traveller has rediscovered a zest for life due to its challenging hiking trails (the view from the top is worth it!), abundant birdlife, rich cultural history and many fun adventures.
Kiara Lodge
Ideally situated at the foot of the majestic Maluti Mountains, and within a 15 minute drive from the charming town of Clarens, the resort is the perfect spot to get away from it all. To top it all off, the Golden Gate National Park is right next door.
With the indoor pool complex, you can swim even in the middle of winter! Little ones can frolic in the splash pad, water channel and baby pool, the bigger kids can enjoy the slides while the adults can swim in the temperature controlled main pool, relax on the loungers or ease the tension under the water spouts.
Your unit's high-end and comfortable interiors echo the mountain splendour that surrounds the resort and is fully equipped for a relaxing mountain retreat. Come home after a day of adventure to a well-equipped unit, enjoy dinner al fresco on your patio or soak in the mountain views as you relax in your private splash pool.
