A very nice cottage near the Garden Castle reserve, about a 15-minute drive to the trailhead car park.
The property spans a hillside (easy to climb up and down even under just the moon light), making the upper part of it great for stargazing.
Almost no artificial lights are visible from the top, making it easy for your eyes to adjust and see the stars.
There are nice sunrise and sunset views from the top and all the major peaks visible.
The cottage is quite spacious and well equipped for both short and long stays, with a very well-equipped kitchen, washing machine, and everything else you might need. It also has interesting and tasteful decor in every room.
There are several Europlug-compatible electrical sockets in every room, which is very helpful for those traveling from abroad with the wrong adapter.
There is plenty of entertainment for the evenings, from a collection of books, including a large encyclopedia, to a variety of board games for group travelers.
For winter stays, there is a wood-burning stove that makes the main room especially cosy, as well as a gas heater. The blankets are very thick and warm, making sleep comfortable despite the cold winter nights.
There are friendly pets on the property, and hosts made sure I was comfortable with the dogs roaming freely when I arrived before letting them out.
Francois and Olga-Jane went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable, safe, and enjoyable, including checking I was all right and on the way back to the cottage when I was returning from the mountains late, as well as sharing a sample of the local cuisine with me.
I really appreciated their thoughtfulness and enjoyed my short stay.
I hope to return to the Southern Drakensberg at some point.

Great location for the view, though the drive to the location is a little bumpy, so you'll definitely want either high clearance or a 4 by 4.
The accomodation was very clean, well maintained, of high quality, and set up very well. I've never really been one to notice good interior design, but this certainly stands out.
Additionally, the hosts happily provided a surprise complimentary homemade cake, as well as immediately took action for the small inconvenience of hot water running out after 10-15 mins of showering - that night we had hot water for much longer and much higher water pressure.
The drive to the location is a bumpy dirt road.
