We fell in love with this beautiful place

We recently spent 5 nights in one of the 5-bed houses at Sungubala, a first-time visit, and we absolutely loved it. The setting is quite extraordinary, overlooking a beautiful valley which hosts numerous walks on well-marked, easy-to-walk paths. We were so enchanted by the views, the aloes, the birds, and were treated to close encounters with a herd of Eland on more than one occasion. This is the ‘berg at its best. The camp itself was so well run. It is immaculately kept, with every detail taken care of. Simon, the caretaker, was so helpful and available. One evening we had difficulty with the water supply to our cottage, and despite the late hour, Simon responded immediately and fixed the issue; we felt very well taken care of. The cottage is beautifully constructed, with comfortable beds, a fully-equipped kitchen, and an open-plan living space that makes it easy to really relax and have a holiday. This was our first time but not our last. We are so happy to have found this gem.

The rondavels and communal dining room and kitchen were very clean and comfortable.
The staff were very friendly and attentive.
Armstrong was a super guide, taking care of us and making our hikes most enjoyable.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
We will definitely be back.
