"The mountain and nature view from our Balcony. The reception and assistance from the staff. Wow our stay was very comfortable especially The room that has so much space to move around including the choice in their bathroom (shower & bath tub). We had a wonderful stay."

"staff was well responsive in making our stay fine. They were able to quickly attend to an issue as well. Just a little more attention to detai, I feel is needed in ensuring that the rooms are properly cleaned. Otherwise...Thanks for everything."

"Accommodation was adequate with all in working order. Dinner was not the best, but this can be expected when ordering from a set menu at an establishment that does not have huge numbers coming through the doors. Breakfast was good and freshly prepared with a good continental spread.

The Sandford Park is blessed with exceptional staff, friendly, efficient and always ready to go the extra mile!"

"Very nice. Staff were excellent. Lovely gardens."

"Rooms are a little 'tired' but are clean and have all the necessities. The hotel is a little dated, but the staff are incredibly helpful and attentive. Dinner was affordable and good quality.

"We enjoyed our stay at Sandford Park Country Hotel. I can agree with some of the comments made about having a bar fridge in the rooms. In general our stay was very nice. The hotel should attend to cleaning their carpets in the rooms on a regular basis. Our room's carpet was very dirty, we realised this when our 8 month baby played on the floor, her white leggings was dirty and that confirmed why my wife was itching during our stay there. Those with babies please be careful when booking a room, make sure the carpets gets cleaned if your baby loves playing or crawling on the floor."

"I really enjoyed my stay at Sandford. The executive room was neat but could use some improvements like a bar fridge and more dstv channels. The staff were friendly especially Ntokozo who made our stay exceptional. I would definitely visit again."

"What a lovely hotel! We had the nicest stay at the Sandford Park Country Hotel. The staff were friendly, the food was good, just an all round GREAT STAY! The rooms are spacious and very tidy! I cannot say how much we enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this hotel ANY DAY!!!"

"We enjoyed our stay at Sandford. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good food and a good value for money option. "

"I booked a couple's package and both me and my wife had a pleasant stay at Sandford Park. The property is very beautiful and the rooms are quite spacious and well ventilated. But, the best part of the stay was the friendly staff and the large layout of breakfast. Will definitely visit again!"

"The staff VERY helpfull and friendly. Rooms need and clean. Farm Like feeling, peacefull. Enjoy and will go back."

"Friendly staff, food was good except Hindu meals were not catered for Sunday's dinner. High noise level from the bar on Sat night until 4.30am on Sunday morning. I had to call manager at 3.30am to complain. Cupboards were not clean. A pleasant stay overall. Thank you!"

"The experience at Standford was very satisfying and soothing. The location and ambience was heavenly and true stress buster. The staff and their service were wonderful and caring. Its worth your money."

"Great, relaxing 2 night stay! Will be recommending to friends and family."

"A lovely place to stay for an ideal weekend. It has access to all the sites of Drakensberg. The staff were very friendly and the environment was superb and mesmerizing."

"All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Rooms very comfortable. Menu very tasty and good selection. Will gladly recommend to our friends and hope to see you soon."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandford Park. Staff excellent,food good and views fantastic. General maintenance of buildings inside and out need attention."

"It was a splendid vacation. A destination that was filled with warmth and understanding. It is central to tourist attractions. A definite return.

"We spent two nights at Sandford and found the staff and facilities excellent. It is an ideal weekend destination to get away from Johannesburg. I would recommend it."

"Lovely setting , great room and the bathroom very upmarket !

We skipped supper (had a wedding) , but had an awesome breakfast.

Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Will definitely stay here again. "

We could not have asked for a better venue we had a wonderful relaxing weekend. I have never came across such pleasant staff everyone is genuinely interested in your well being it really makes the difference"

"We arrived early, on our way back from Cape Town, with the intention of spending the day and night, resting, before continuing home. Unfortunately my girl friend wasn't feeling well and wanted to just get home, so we cut our stay short and left in the early afternoon. We will certainly be back."

"We had a lovely time. Food was good, the people were extremely friendly and very helpful and always trying to make us feel comfortable. I loved the bar area - the best I have seen.

"It was fantabulous and everyone made us feel absolutely welcome"

"Good - initially offered a room that was smoked in but was relocated."

The road leading to the hotel was so thick with mud that we almost got stuck. The food reminded me of my college cafeteria--generally bland and unappealing."

"Very nice environment and view from our room."

"Excellent !"

"Lovely, fantastic food and an great atmosphere in the festively decorated pub."

"I loved so much every part of the Sandford Park Country Hotel: the bedrooms are so pretty, the dining room is so friendly. There's also a beautiful garden with a little lake, a swimming pool and a very nice conference hall. "

"We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The location is excellent the staff very fiendly and helpful. The best part however was the food and specially the dinners. The atmosphere is totally relaced and is raly a place where anyone fro 0 years to 110 years old can go and relax."

"Booked an executive room but landed up in the honeymoon suite (I think) for the three days, but it was lovely all the same."

"Enjoyed the stay thoroughly."

"This was our first visit to the Drakensberg. I was very impressed with the friendly staff at Sandford Park. The food was great and we enjoyed every meal. The bed could have been a little more comfortable. I would return any given time and the only change I would make is to book in an executive room..."

The bed could have been a little more comfortable. I would return any given time and the only change I would make is to book in an executive room which has a view."

"Although the facility isnt that upperclass type, the friendliness of the staff was very impressive. The food was good. Facility's like TV, airconditioning and music in the room was a miss."

"We had a lovely quiet, relaxing 4 days at Sandford.

"We had a lovely quiet, relaxing 4 days at Sandford. The staff were excellent in every way possible from our arrival, when our room got partially flooded and assisting in finding a missing piece of clothing, we could not have asked for better, more friendly staff. The old section is mostly well cared for but we felt that the lounge area was in need of a good spruice up e.g. spit, polish and shampoo. Also the towels could do with being renewed but apart from that everything was great, the food was excellent and we would certainly recommend our friends to pay Sandford a visit."

"Very friendly staff and excellent service. I would just put a tv in the rooms."

"A very relaxing time and enjoyed by both of us. Service was very good and will recommend anyone to to stay there."

"We had a great weekend - the food was superb as well as the accommodation. I called ahead and asked for Champagne and chocs as it was our anniversary not only did I get choc's and champagne but strawberrys, fruit and a beautiful rose scented candle - wonderful will be back "

"Lovely cosy hotel.

Pub is quaint and cosy."

Excellent meusli for breakfast but disappointed that the swimming pool was out of action for 24hrs and after that very murky."

"It was value for money.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

The food was also good although menu limited

Will reccomend it to friends.

Enjoyed our stay."

"We stayed only for one night. The garden is very beautiful and also the view to the mountains."

"Hi, only stayed there for a night by I was happy, the staff were friendly and the food quite good.

Thank you"

"I had a good stay at Sandford Park Country Hotel and would suggest a stay to others."

"Cosy and comfortable. Friendly staff. Neatly tucked away in the mountains. Will come back."

Sandford has a brilliant, cosy setup. Food and staff are wonderful.

We enjoyed the cosy Pete's Bar with a lovely atmosphere and the fun chat with the Barman watching the July Handicap.

The dinner and breakfast meals were perfect and well served by cheerful staff.

The Umshado room was an ideal getaway for us; we enjoyed the view and the country feel of the room.

Recommended!"

"Room met all our needs. Dinner was good and well prepared - we enjoyed it. The service was friendly and quick."

"Initially I was concerned at the 3* status of the hotel. I need not have worried. The reception was warm and friendly, the room comfortable and very cosy. Meals were good and, as a vegetarian, which was undeclared at booking, the staff went out of their way to accommodate me - as my waist line will bear testimony.

I would definitely book for a longer period next time - although it will not be easy to avoid lots of evenings in the pub. Sandford is one of those hotels where you just feel cosy and home from home, let your hair down and have lots of laughs (which we did). Other guests seemed to feel exactly the same way. Made some very nice friends. SANDFORD PARK RESORT was listed by ROOMS FOR AFRICA - that was where we found it and booked. The speed of the response and professionalism in the booking was very commendable.

If we do stand a chance to win anything - please let it be at SANDFORD PARK RESORT - winning anything else won't be as much fun!

"Sandford Park Resort has a beautiful and cozy restaurant, nice and friendly place. They have a friendly bar, nice pool and garden. Good room. Very friendly staff."

"Excellent hospitality, friendly and welcoming staff. Good food, nice atmosphere.
Entry road was slippery in the rain, difficult to drive. Basic rooms, clean and well maintained."

My 3 year old daughter had a fabulous time on the trampoline and running around the dam. The staff were very kind to her, and she loved her first Drakensberg Experience.

Thanks again for a very peaceful holiday, highly recommended and on the cards for a second visit."

"We were 3 couples who decided to do a quick 2 night visit to the Drakenberg over Easter Weekend. Most resorts insisted on a 3 night booking which was impossible for us. Thank you Stanford for taking us at short notice and for the days we could stay. The rooms are roomy, comfortable and clean with a lovely view of the mountains in the distance. Our stay was too short, maybe a good thing as the food was wonderful and we wanted to taste everything! We can certainly recommend the Stanford Hotel."

"Loved every moment. Food and service was first class! If you are stopping over in the berg this is a first class place to stop."

"The stay was good and relaxing, It was just what a bushed individual would just need to fall dead and just relax and lazy around and take walks.

"The stay was good and relaxing, It was just what a bushed individual would just need to fall dead and just relax and lazy around and take walks.

Sadly, I had hoped to go for horse back trails but they were not working over the holiday and weekends which I find to be strange as those are the day where people want to do that without rush... Sandford Park can influence this decision.

Otherwise, my stay at the establishment was just too nice... still recovering from good food which made me realise how spoiled I was getting...wake up, eat attend to my lazy business, and then eat supper...lazy around some more... Thank you. "

"We experienced good food, friendly staff and the rooms were well fitted. The scenery is beautiful, quiet and serene. There is also a nice pub."

"Excellent staying in this family hotel. Ria and Greg are like a mother and father to their guests. The meals are of a high quality and the services are perfect. The premium rooms with a small terrace outside made our stay great. The cleaning team are working daily and are perfect. The meals are served in a beautiful country-style restaurant and were delicious. The location on the foothills, and between the Central and Northern Natal Drakensberg made our trips to the mountains enjoyable and easy. Let's say, I can recommend this country hotel to everybody who likes to stay in a friendly holiday atmosphere with high accommodation quality."

The staff is friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and spoilt. The facilities and accommodation is basic but comfortable and clean. The resort is ideally located for sight seeing and it is close to many hiking trails, shops and other interesting venues. Bergville has a lot of history which is linked to the resort which made the whole experience very interesting. "

"Management went out of their way to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay, the food was good, and the staff friendly and the rooms were lovely.

"We really enjoyed our stay with friendly faces, good service and a warm atmosphere we felt well rested on our departure. The only few small points that I would like to comment on are: The Entertainment Room, definitely needs extra care. Pool table is not well balanced and in the wrong position, one white ball with a big chip in it. Music would be great too would give it a really nice vibe. Darts can also be improved we had to mix and match darts. No room service was available. No TV in the rooms which was a big anti-climax. Otherwise everything was clean, cozy & quiet. Food was very nice, especially the home made bread. Waiters were friendly and accommodating. We loved afternoon tea & coffee that was available, that gave a really nice welcoming touch. The bar area had great decor with friendly barman. Many thanks for looking after us. We will definitely come again soon."

"Very nice, food was good, service perhaps a bit slow but on the whole very enjoyable and nicely situated within the Berg with lots to do and see close by."

"I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The service was excellent. The food was even better. I would definitely recommend the hotel to others wanting to visit the Drakensburg."

"My stay at Sandford Park was indeed pleasurable. Lovely, clean rooms, excellent food, friendly pub and professional and friendly management and staff. Oh, did I mention the nice pub?"

"Sandford Park has a great location looking onto the Drakensberg. It has a lovely, old English garden in which to sit and chill out. Accommodation was good, apart from lighting, they only use 40w bulbs.

Old fashioned table d' hote menu was very good. Only real criticism was the breakfast when all the waiters could be in the kitchen at the same time and no one was supervising to ensure that guests' needs were being attended to. It is a bit over priced when one considers that there are no TV's in rooms.
