Relaxing atmosphere
Beautiful views, quiet at night, and a good base for exploring the mountains.
Ledges Retreat Guest House offers warm hospitality and comfortable en-suite rooms on a peaceful smallholding tucked into the Northern Drakensberg. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or on a quick overnight stop, the guest house provides clean, cosy, and affordable accommodation just 15 minutes from the Royal Natal National Park. The guest house features six tastefully decorated rooms, each with a private entrance and en-suite bathroom. Some rooms include tea- and coffee-making facilities and views of the surrounding gardens or mountains. Guests can enjoy hearty breakfasts in the communal dining area, relax beside the swimming pool, or stretch their legs along the nearby walking paths and riverbanks. Ledges Retreat is known for its friendly hosts, quiet setting, and convenient access to the best of the Drakensberg.
Surrounded by the peaks of the Okhahlamba World Heritage Site — including Hlolela, Sungubala, and the iconic Amphitheatre — Ledges Retreat sits within a quiet farming valley not far from the Putterill River. The area is well-known for its hiking, rock pools, waterfalls, and adventure activities, yet the retreat itself remains peaceful and unspoilt. With easy access to the R74 and under 30 minutes to Bergville, it’s perfectly placed for both rest and exploration.
