Castleburn Resort-Tucked into the foothills of the southern Drakensberg, Castleburn is the ideal destination for family getaways or peaceful weekend escapes. Overlooking the tranquil Lake Madingofani, guests can unwind while watching eland and reedbuck roam freely through the property, or spot the many bird species that thrive in the restored wetland environment. In the warmer months, enjoy activities such as fly-fishing, horseback riding, and scenic hiking trails. When the Berg chill sets in, retreat to your private, thatched chalet and relax beside a crackling log fire.
Our spacious cottages, crafted from hand-hewn local stone, are architecturally designed for comfort and positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views. Each unit is fully equipped with a modern kitchen and a cozy stone fireplace. A welcoming lakeside clubhouse offers the perfect spot for socialising and enjoying the fresh mountain air.Located on Drakensberg Gardens Road, Underberg (3257, South Africa), Castleburn borders a Natal Parks Board nature reserve and is adjacent to the uKhahlamba Drakensberg World Heritage Site, home to the renowned Giant’s Cup hiking trail.
