The Old Hatchery, near Underberg in the Southern Drakensberg, offers affordable accommodation solutions (B&B, D, B&B and self-catering with restaurant and pub) for travellers from all over the world who visit the famous uKahlamba-Drakensberg Park, a world heritage site.
Accommodation at The Old Hatchery consists of 3 fully equipped and serviced self-catering cottages. Please note that your car remains in the parking lot and the cabins are about 100m away and there is a wooden boardwalk to get to them. If you arrive during daylight hours, we can arrange for staff to assist in carrying luggage.
We have a restaurant on site where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Oak Tree Lodge is our Bed & Breakfast Guesthouse and it has 6 en-suite bedrooms - all with TV and DSTV. Wi-Fi is available only in the Restaurant.
The Drakensberg Mountains, with their awe-inspiring basalt cliffs, snow-capped in winter, tower over riverine bush, lush yellowwood forests and cascading waterfalls, form a massive barrier separating KwaZulu-Natal from the Kingdom of Lesotho. The only road access to the Drakensberg in KZN is via Sani Pass, which at the top, boasts the highest pub in Africa, 3 000 metres above sea level.
And of course, there are the mountains, which must be conquered. The fearless may choose to try sheer rock or ice- climbing - or they may prefer the adrenaline rush provided by horse riding or white water rafting.
If you prefer the gentler, more leisurely pace of walking, there are many hiking routes on both lower and upper slopes of the Drakensberg where you can watch out for the 290 species of birds, 48 species of mammals, or the rare varieties of plant life found in the park.
