"It was great! We would visit again. The food was delicious, the stay was amazing.. we had a great time."

"Thanks for the lovely stay! Minus 1 star for location. All the roads to/from The Homestead are quite bad dirt roads. Would recommend having a sturdier, larger car if you intend to explore the Drakensberg from this location. "

"My girls and I had a wonderful time at the Homestead. The people there were extremely nice and the food was excellent. "

"Everything went well, it’s what we expected and more. The staff was welcoming, our unit was neat and it was quiet. We had a relaxing stay and decided to go back with friends soon."

"The Homestead is a beautiful place with a great host, Pennie. Our stay was absolutely delightful and we were treated well by staff. The accommodation was also inclusive of breakfast and a home cooked supper daily which is very convenient and appreciated while road tripping and very good value for money. The rooms were well cleaned and also had an AC which is much needed during these hot summer days. The roads to the homestead were mainly gravel however easily accessible. It was truly a great stay. I would recommend it to all wanting to get away from the busy city life."

"We had a great time, the host Ian was a great host !The place was very warm and cozy, clean and nice!
Thank you Homestead you made our stay pleasant and watch the space we coming back to Bergville."

"We had an awesome 2 night stop over at the Homestead. The accommodation is very pleasant, the hosts are wonderful and the dinners amazing. Well worth it!"

"Pennie was an exceptional host. The food was ample and plentiful. In fact it was like a buffet every evening. This was the first B&B that catered for all my vegetarian needs and the food was satisfactory every time. The New Year activities were lovely. They put on a fireworks display and had a beautiful lamb done on the spit. The lay out of the homestead is beautiful. 26 rooms and a conference centre. It also boasts a gym and sauna and lovely pool next to the veranda. The gardens are lovely with their flowers and they've have several wedding functions there. They also have a games room. Every one there; the hosts and family and staff and other guests, were very friendly. Their motto is: arrive as a guess leave as a friend. That adage was so true. Next month we're taking the entire family there. Plenty of play facilities for the children. Lots of space. Something that's often lacking in other venues. Well done Pennie, keep up the excellent work!

"The accommodation, food and everything was fine and we enjoyed staying here and would certainly like to make another booking at this establishment next time. We had a good stay."

"The Homestead was a lot better than the expectation created in the write-up; the host was professional yet warm, and the staff made our stay very pleasant without it seeming too much of an effort.

"The Homestead was a lot better than the expectation created in the write-up; the host was professional yet warm, and the staff made our stay very pleasant without it seeming too much of an effort. The room was beautiful, and peaceful (thank goodness no TV). Food was good, and we could relax in one of the lounges after dinner while having the option of partaking in activities in the bar should we have desired.

Highly recommended and a lovely base for anyone seeking to do the Arthur Cresswell marathon."

"We had a lovely and pleasant stay at the guesthouse. I would recommend it to anyone who is headed towards Northern Drakensberg who is looking for a place to stay."

"Wow, such a warm and friendly welcome we received. We arrived as guests and left as friends. Sitting outside the fire and chatting was just awesome and the owner is very friendly and the alcohol is reasonable. The view is beautiful. "

"The stay was very good. I enjoyed it. I absolutely recommend a stay here to others."

"We would like to thank Penny and her Staff for making our stay at the Homestead a very special stay. The food was top class and the room was clean and comfortable.

Baie dankie aan al die vriendelike mense by "The Homestead" wat ons kuier daar besonders lekker gemaak dit. "The Homestead" kan werklik beskryf word as 'n mens se huis weg van die huis af. En voor ek vergeet die kos wat aan ons bedien is, was uit die boonste rakke. Die verblyf (kamers) was ook 'n plesier om in te bly. Daar het niks kort gekom nie.

"The Homestead" is truly a family oriented destination. They allow people of all "types" to feel very welcome. It was really fun for a little socializing. Much thanks to all the friendly folks at "The Homestead" it made our visit to exceptionally nice. "The Homestead" can truly be described as a person's home away from home. And before I forget the food that was served to us was of the highest quality. The accommodation (rooms) was also a pleasure to stay. There lacked nothing.

Well maintained landscaped gardens and private areas with plenty to do... like the pool, gym, sauna, pool table, ten pin bowling, walking through the gardens or just relaxing in one of the many outdoor/indoor areas.Very quiet and peaceful.Being vegetarian the host went the extra mile to create new dishes and always confirmed the menu for the next day. Would certainly go back and recommend the place to others wanting a home away from home."

"Hi
We managed to get a last minute booking for accommodation at The Homestead . I am glad to have chosen this accommodation, one gets a homely feel as soon as one enters the premises and it stayed that way throughout our 3 day stay there.
The meals were very nice and tasty and there was more than enough to go around even if one wanted seconds.
Phil and his lovely wife are very pleasant and accommodating.

Thanks to all who assisted in making our weekend a memorable one.
See you soon!"

"A very homely accommodation. Peaceful and quiet, perfect break to just relax with your partner. Food - good! Loved the dessert!

I left my jackets at Homestead and when I called them they told me that they had found them. Returning on 29 October, after six months, I found it as I left it. I was really happy – it was as clean as I had left it - this shows that this place is a real home for everybody. The service is so excellent and this is the reason I booked at Homestead again. You are the best."

We came back with souls light from rest, hearts full of love and stomachs bulging from good food and wine! It was truly a week of bliss!

When watching TV and drinking coffee in the lounge, everyone felt like part of the big family. The food was well served, any requests you may have are attended to promptly. If you are looking for a home away from home environment I highly recommend this venue."

"I call it peace in the valley because that is exactly what it is when you want to get away from everything else. I really enjoyed the tranquility and all the warm friendly faces.

Thumbs up to you, Penny.

Dinner was a lovely homecooked meal and we found ourselves talking to the other guests. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom which consisted of a shower and bath was everything we could ask for. Breakfast again was very hearty and a good start to the day. We will most certainly be returning to the Homestead (Bergville). Thank you for making our stay a pleasant one.
P.S. we had with us a fourteen month old child and the swing, trampoline etc provided at the Homestead was a bonus.

"We stayed at The Homestead in December 2010 and loved it. The owners are friendly and the food was awesome! Thanks, this is a gem, we are sure to go visit again!"
