One of my favourite holiday spots is the Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal. Don’t get me wrong, I love the beach and there is nothing better than an early morning swim in the Indian Ocean, but the Drakensberg offers just as good a holiday and there is no need to watch out for jellyfish and sand in your sarmies!

Tamakwa Country Lodge
Joshua and Gabby are two loving golden Labradors who are likely to give you an effusive greeting at the four-star Tamakwa Country Lodge nestled in Rosetta, above a scenic river walk with a striking view of the majestic Drakensberg. The lodge offers luxury bed and breakfast accommodation with comfortable cottage ambience, a lovely log fire and spectacular views from beautifully appointed verandas.

Tamakwa also features a hidden treasure as far as fabulous food is concerned, in the shape of young chef Jonathan Crawford who creates a daily four course set menu at The Rose restaurant set within the main lodge and also open to those not staying at the lodge.
