Property Details

Set at the foot of the Southern Drakensberg mountain range, Castleburn offers the perfect family holiday or a peaceful weekend getaway.
With stunning views of Lake Madingofani, sit back and watch the eland and reedbuck roam the resort, or step outside and observe the exotic birdlife that call Castleburn their home.
During the summer months, you can go fly fishing, horse riding or hiking, and when the colder months arrive, you can enjoy a log fire in the comfort of your own room.
Imagine a misty mountain retreat where the lush hills of KwaZulu-Natal meet the towering foothills of the Southern Drakensberg. Here lies Castleburn, a place of exquisite beauty and tranquility.

The Resort’s thatched chalets and apartments offer you a unique luxury retreat, filled with all the comforts your heart could desire, while blending seamlessly with the surrounding splendor. From the comfort of your room, enjoy cosy log fires and sweeping views of Lake Madingofani, where majestic eland and gentle reedbuck come down to drink. If you’re a bird watcher, bring your binoculars! More than a hundred species of birds call the lake and surrounding countryside their home. Once you’ve had your fill of peace, superb mountain views and natural beauty (if there isn’t enough of that), you’ll find a long list of wonderful things to do.

Take a dip in the natural rock pool. Go on a hike. Try your hand at fly fishing (equipment is available from reception). Rainbow, triploid and brown trout abound. Play tennis. Sail or canoe on the lake. Take a guided horseback tour. Treat yourself to a treatment at the health and beauty salon. Exercise your brain with a game of outdoor chess. Play a round of golf on the chip course and, speaking of chips, there’s nothing like the bracing mountain air to work up an appetite. The Lakeview Restaurant serves hearty country fare and is open daily for lunch and dinner.
Castleburn. Like the birds, you’ll want to come back.
