Spent a week at Castleburn recently as part of annual family holiday (I have a timeshare) and it was good. Restful, just a pity that the restaurant hasn't been finished following the fire in December, but other than that, everything was good. Had a problem with hectic winds and no electricity on two days, but we were kept informed by... More

Stayed at Casteburn for a family holiday break. The road which have been tarred is a bonus but be aware of potholes. Overall it was OK but the restaurant which burned down was not well communicated. Some alternative measures could have bee put in place. Maintenance levels can be better. The levy for a facility which one does not use,... More

Castleburn is a small, friendly resort nestled amongst hilly countryside with the beautiful southern Drakensberg mountains forming a backdrop. We were given one of the cottages near the lake which is really very pretty. The canoeing, walks, putt putt course are all lovely relaxing activities. We stayed there in June so it was very cold but they supplied us with... More

This must be one of the best places to visit to unwind and relax. We were lucky to stay in a unit very close to the lake and it was a great 4 days. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed because of the recent fire but we still had a great stay.

Arriving in the beautiful peaceful area was the first pleasant experience as the staff were friendly and welcoming and none of the facilities was crowded despite it being peak holiday season. Even though staff were coping with the difficulties of arranging functions in a temporary marquee after a fire, still we had a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The waiters served with... More

Lovely resort with very nice activities. Very scenic, nice for walking. We were fortunate enough to be able to go down the river in tyre tubes, what an exciting experience. Our chalet's geyser broke and we were without hot water for two days - not the greatest expereince. I have to agree with the some of the other reviewers that... More

The beauty of the surrounds of Castleburn simply took our breath away! The mountains changed character with the changing light and still had wisps of snow on them. The resort was well furnished and very comfortable - the underfloor heating was a great bonus during cool evenings. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant and although the service was... More
