    We are sugar free and that needs some work.

    Magnificent location. Peaceful and quiet. Lots to do if you choose otherwise relax in swiss wooden cabin with a fireplace.

    Directions to the Lodge should perhaps be to Alpine Heath as Google maps was very confused 🤔

    The property is in a remote part if the Northern Drakensberg. A place of exceptional beauty. It is intimate and feels like a well run family business. Service and meals and staff were excellent. Definitely a bucket list addition No internet -Awesome

    It would be helpful to know that you should google The Health Resort to find the location. Our GPS took us to the wrong location. Also more clarification about calling the lodge to get picked up and taken up the mountain.

    The lodge is set in a beautiful location. I really enjoyed the fireplace in the dinning area and in the cabin. The food was tasty and well presented.

    The drive up to Greenfire from Alpine Heath is about 30-40 mins on a gravel road that passes 2 small streams that crosses over the road, so having a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle is a must.

    We had to leave early as we were hiking up Tugela falls the next morning and Jeremiah and team had our breakfast packed for us to take on the go, which we thought was extremely sweet and accommodating of them to do. The rooms were very comfy and the place overall is absolutely stunning. We also really enjoyed our open bacon sandwiches which we had for lunch.

    The setting of Greenfire Lodge is just magnificent! The dining area - in a big log cabin - overlooking the Drakensberg Amphitheatre in the distance is just the nicest place to have the three wonderful meals served daily! The numerous walks and variety thereof were just fantastic.

    Not staying longer

    This was exceptional. Jeremiah and the staff is exceptional. The views are breathtaking and out of this world. We unfortunately only stayed 1 night that should never happen as there is so much to do. The food is delicious and tasty and freshly made. I've never tasted bread so delicious. The beds are big and comfortable and the shower is hot and refreshing. Early morning rusks with coffee makes is even feel more homey. Luckily we read about the road that leads up so we arranged for them to collect us because it is a daring thought to drive up there. We will most certainly come back for a longer stay.

    The sleeping accommodation was more than adequate for a very comfortable stay, cosy & comfortable rather than luxurious. The ability to have hot water for drinks on demand at the room rather than a flask would be ideal, but that’s really being picky. There is always the facility to have hot drinks in the communal area.

    Such an exceptional location high up (highest I believe) in the Drakensberg. The views are truly spectacular. The food was incredible and very generous. Only a limited number of units, so you feel very secluded.

    We gave our arrival time between 2 and 3 and arrived a little after 3 and the place was deserted, almost like they weren't expecting us which was a little disconcerting.

    Breakfast was good and views were amazing as well as the hiking trails. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean.

    This is our second visit and we love the venue. The water could be warmer, but in order to keep it eco-friendly, it is what it is. the recent fires have damaged some of the signs and trail and we hope that can be attended to. Other than that, we will be back in the near future.

    The breakfast was organic and exceptional. The addition of freshly baked bread and fresh orange juice is always a welcome bonus. The variety is more than adequate a well prepared. The variety of fruit was also well laid out and generous

    Nothing to mention.

    A trip we will never forget!! We made use of the shuttle up to the lodge. Justice was ready and waiting despite us being a few mins late. Lovely check in and briefing by Shaun. Log cabins are well maintained. Delicious wholesome meals were provided daily. How can we ever forget the freshly baked bread with each meal. Trails are well marked and the trip to see the vulture colony is a must. Kids enjoyed a lovely afternoon horse ride. Ample wood provided for the room fire places. If you want a break from the hustle and bustle off grid this is the spot. We will definitely be back!

    The fact that they only have solar means you can't make coffee at will in the cold weather. But they do bring hot water in the mornings and you can go to the lounge area and get hot drinks there.

    The breakfast was very yummy. The views were beautiful from the accommodation. I really enjoyed the hikes.
