A good starting point for walks. The Sentinel room was nice with a good outlook to the mountains. The food in the restaurant was not really special. We wifi in the Sentinel room was very poor.

Overall good experience
The hotel is in a great place for walking and has a beautiful aspect. The rooms are fairly standard with a good bathroom but fridge or tv. The hotel provides a good breakfast and food throughout the day and it is very good value. There are options to hire guides for mountain walking if you’re new to the area.

The bed had bugs. The sheets were not clean. The bathroom floor had tufts of hair everywhere. The restaurant hardly had food. Each time we chose a meal we were told that it wasn't available.

Fantastic views, and the best place to start the hike to Tugela Falls. Very quiet. The only sounds at night were the sounds of the horses eating grass. Excellent breakfast. The road to the property is paved, but the road from there to Sentinel Carpark is definitely a rock crawl and best left to a transfer by the lodge. Note that there’s a fee to get to the property (save your receipt for the way out as they ask for it). There is also the transfer fee and hiking fee. Also, the queen size bed is German style (2 mattresses shoved together, each with separate bedding).

Very unique place to stay if you are hiking in the area. Our stay was very brief, arriving on one night and checking out and hiking the next day. The staff was great, assisting with transportation and packing a lunch since we would be missing breakfast. The room was very comfortable sized. Would recommend a side with a view of the mountains if you are staying a bit!

Absolutely fabulous place
Agnes at check-in was kind and friendly. Another staff member came through and gave us some advice on our hike. The 4 x 4 trip return was with kind , informative drivers, Mr. Goodwin, I don't recall the gentleman that drove us back. He taught us things about the Drakensburg and Maluti Mountains that we didn't know. Eddie at the Sentinel parking was a gem. I absolutely loved our stay. Clean rooms, bedding and toilet/shower facilities. Thank you and all the best to you all always

Impressed with the reception staff who were tremendous. Always willing to go the extra mile to help. Example I was a day late because of having an upset stomach and I expected to have the 90% charge in these situations. The receptionist went the extra mile and spoke with the owner and the charge was waved. That is the type genuine down to earth people working here. They do everything possible to make your stay a happy one. They can't provide everything a town hotel might provide because they are situated high up an isolated mountain. But they do their best and more than make up for any lack by homeliness, a warm smile and a genuine concern for the welfare and comfort of their guests. A very enjoyable stay. My only regret was that I did not have the time to stay longer. very well done to all the staff at this value for money and convenient lodge situated with amazing views when ithe weather is fine and a bundle of laughs and great hospitality when the weather is foggy or wet. this is a real mountain lodge on a gloriously beautiful mountain. Well done all at Wisiehoek Mountain Lodge. Very impressed.
