Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens | Long-stay

Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens main image

Description

Nestled in a serene valley of the Southern Drakensberg near Underberg, the Drakensberg Gardens campsite offers an incredible combination of rustic mountain camping and full-resort luxury. The campsite is part of the much larger, renowned Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort, which means campers have access to an unparalleled range of activities and facilities, making it a unique "best of both worlds" destination.

The campsite itself is a beautiful, tranquil space, offering a generous number of well-grassed and shaded stands. It is known for its clean and reliable ablution blocks, which provide plenty of hot water—a welcome comfort after a long day of hiking in the mountains. This peaceful camping area serves as the perfect base from which you can either relax and enjoy the natural surroundings or dive into the resort's extensive entertainment options.

What makes a stay here truly special is the access to the main resort's amenities. Campers can enjoy a round of golf on the spectacular 18-hole course, go horse riding, play tennis or bowls, or let the kids enjoy the dedicated playgrounds and entertainment programs. Multiple restaurants and a wellness spa on the property mean you can mix a classic braai one night with a hotel dinner the next. It’s an ideal choice for families who want the adventure of camping with the convenience and fun of a full-service resort.

Everything we did here was top notch, looked after and cared for in the finest detail. Our family had great fun!!

From swimming, to walking the MANY little routes and paths, the buffet breakfast, all was top notch and we appreciate this spot to the max!

Our housekeeper Buhle was extremely friendly and daily helped us keep our unit in check! She was awesome (give her a Bells!).

Thank you so much, we really enjoyed our stay here and felt welcome and took care of from the start to the very end!!

Family friendly, Fun and adventurous all round!

Definitely will be back!

If you want an adventurous weekend away with family, this is the ultimate destination. Heated pools, tennis, Putt Putt, Golf, horse riding, zip lines, hikes, suspension bridge, so many pools and so much more. Do not enter with a low vehicle.
Extra towels and pool towels at reception.
Some facilities have jacuzzi.
Your first experience will certainly bring you back time and time again.

Beautiful location. No wifi in the bedrooms only at or near the reception.Lack of communication from staff regarding amenities and alot of the restaurant staff dont know the food they are serving..so cant answer a basic question on the order .The water is questionable, the staff said you could drink it ...but 2 of our group got travelers gut whilst there ,which was not pleasant .My bath water,was not clear colour- must be borehole hence you should be advised not to drink it and the rooms should include bottled water daily .

The setting in the mountains is world class and facilities are great . I have been coming to the resort for many years , this year we noticed alot of maintenance to the facilities needs to be done , also the food was really disappointing especially for the price , very poor ingredients used , and not much alternative in the area , also not much difference between the restaurants on site , something really needs to be done with regards to the food
