“Drakensberg Sun knows its audience: families wanting adventure paired with thoughtful diversions for children. The setting itself, nestled in the Drakensberg, lends itself to active exploration, while the supervised kids' area allows parents some breathing room. I especially appreciate the communal dining option-a welcome touch for those seeking connection alongside their vacation.”
