Vacation rentals with lake access in KwaZulu-Natal

Megan was a gem of a hostess, always quick to help and friendly. Her home is absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous peaceful garden. We had the most amazing stay

Jan was a great host and the house is beautiful. We'd love to stay again.

Great open plan & spacious home! The master bedroom particularly stands out! The estate is great with a variety of places to eat and explore. Appreciated the facilities as we had a toddler so this made life a lot easier.

Loved our stay.

The cottage is very comfortable, homely and in a beautiful setting. Equipped with all one needs for a weekend away. The driveway is difficult to spot and not particularly well used so a little confusing, but once there we had a fabulous time. Thanks so much xx

Jessica's place is really beautiful and perfectly located for a weekend out in the mountains. Nice hikes are nearby and all you need for a nice weekend available. Jessica is a great and helpful host. Would definitely stay at her place again.

Fantastic stay! We’d love to come back

We had a great time at Charlstons place in Dragon View Estate! The home was a prefect base to explore central Drakensberg.

We felt right as home the moment we walked in. This airbnb is perfect for those who want a relaxing getaway…..from the homely layout to the views from the balcony enjoying a drink and a braai. We highly recommend it and wish we could have stayed longer.

Always a great stay. Brilliant apartment - well priced, great finishes and very comfortable.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, it was clear Mevlynne had thought of every little detail—from extra blankets and toiletries and fully stocked kitchen supplies. The property itself is incredibly peaceful, with beautifully maintained grounds and spotless amenities throughout. Whenever we had a question, he was always available and responded almost instantly, which made everything so easy. The only thing to note is that there’s no Wi-Fi on-site, so you’ll need to purchase mobile data if you want to stream TV. That said, we found it actually perfect—who wants to binge Netflix on holiday anyway? We spent our time exploring, relaxing, and truly disconnecting. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene, well‑appointed getaway!

The photos looked interesting and the reviews were fantastically positive - then the reality? Absolutely splendid! 10/10 - minus nothing! We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was spotless, cozy, private, safe, and secluded, with thoughtful touches throughout. Everything we needed (and more) was provided. Michelle was incredibly attentive, offering great advice and quick responses, and Vincent and Nadia were so kind helping us when we got stuck in the mud. Such warm, welcoming hosts. Thank you for an unforgettable getaway - we’ll definitely be back!

The view was amazing and the entry was hassle-free. There was plenty of space to relax! It was the perfect getaway

The host was incredibly welcoming, and the accommodation was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable. The location was stunning, with beautiful views. The security staff were attentive and always ready to assist.

As a 1st time Airbnb user the experience was fantastic, the host thought of everything that would make one miss home, especially the kids , stable wifi, board games , emergency 🆘 kit should loadshading, constant updates with information. Will highly recommend the place, accessible to the nearest mall , beautiful beaches and beautiful pool inside the Estate for days that you want to relax home and have a braai , friendly security I must add 🙏 Highly recommend

The place match my expectations. I will book again very soon. The only issue was I find 4/6 coaches on the pillows which made me scared The WiFi wasn’t connecting as well as TV perhaps it was through weather The place is beautiful worth every cent

We had a wonderful weekend, loved it all from the sweet little dogs to the outside shower. It was an excellent home away from home.

Always my favourite place to stay on the north coast!! It’s special it’s unique and it’s the best value for money!!! I will be back every year

Thimble Cottage is an amazing place for a family holiday. The house is stunning and has everything you can think off. The gardens dam and surrounds are just stunning. So many walks right from the cottage. We also used the Sani Spoors mtb trails which were great and tubing in the river a short walk from the cottage So peaceful too that the 7 nights felt a lot longer Hosts were super responsive and provided info on things to do were to eat etc Thanks Karen and Andrew

We loved our stay in this gorgeous cottage! Being able to sit outside on the verandah overlooking the most beautiful view, the sunrise and the sounds of nature including a stream, birds and frogs. We even ventured for a splash in the stream - chilly but lovely! It’s remote enough if you are looking for peace and solitude but also not far (about 20-30 mins) from a lot of the great Midlands meander attractions and restaurants.

We had a wonderful long weekend at Sunbird Cottage which is very homely in a stunning setting. The farm offered us plenty of opportunity to explore the Wakkerstroom area, and we even enjoyed two walks on the farm itself. The farm fresh milk, eggs and jam were a treat and absolute spoil!

We had a wonderful 2 nights at Di's place. Beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches. Well equipped kitchen with sharp knives! Dreamy garden with lots of little 'garden rooms' for a morning coffee or sundowner. Then, to top it off, a delivery of freshly baked muffins with farm butter every morning. Thank you Di, we had a very special stay with you, will most certainly be back when we are next in the Midlands.

Amazing location, and access to Drakensurg Sun facilities is a bonus. Plenty of activities to do - hiking, swimming, horse riding, canoeing, abseiling, all right on your doorstep

We had an incredible stay at this wonderful place as a family. The atmosphere was truly peaceful, and we couldn’t get enough of the amazing views that surrounded us. The property was serene and perfect for a relaxing getaway. A special thanks to our hosts, Erica and her husband, who were exceptional. Their warm hospitality made our experience even more memorable. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil escape with stunning scenery and outstanding hosts. We’d love to return someday!
