Surrounded by the beautiful mountains of the Northern Drakensberg, Ledges Retreat offers you both a peaceful space to unwind as well as a convenient base from which to explore all that this area has to offer.
We offer self-catering as well as bed and breakfast accommodation. The resort is under new ownership, and we have recently renovated our self-catering Farmhouse as well as 3 of our 4 B&B rooms so guests can enjoy a comfortable, relaxing break in scenic surroundings.
Our 4th B&B room is our cosy rondawel that we love just as it is!
Property Facilities:
Ledges Retreat has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool as well as a trampoline, swings and a games room (pool table, darts, table tennis, fingerboard). We also have a small library if you would like to borrow a book or two.
As well as breakfast, we are also able to provide dinner for guests, however we do need advance notice. Should you require dinner on the evening of your arrival, please let us know by 11am on the day of your arrival so that we have time to prepare a meal for you. Dinner is R200 per person (kids under 10 pay half) and if you book for breakfast ad hoc the cost is R75 per person (kids under 10 pay half). Dinner and breakfast is served in our dining room and is a buffet-style meal.
Guests are also welcome to make use of the BBQ facilities next to the pool and have our chef prepare their side dishes.
The Putterill River meanders along the bottom of the property and is a children’s paradise with plenty of rock pools to splash around in – you may even spot an eland or two!
