Renovations revealed for Drakensberg resort

Bushman’s Nek Berg and trout Resort in Drakensberg has been upgraded.

Bushman’s Nek Berg and Trout Resort in the Drakensberg has undergone a R4,6 million (€289 500) revamp.

The work is part of managing agent, First Group’s large-scale four-year refurbishment programme for eight properties, with a total investment of R179 million (€1.13m).

Extra-length king-size beds have been added to all the rooms, and the self-catering rooms now have fireplaces and wall panel heaters. The outdoor braai areas have been upgraded with roofing to ensure use throughout the year, especially in the rainy season.

“Our focus was to enhance the comfort features of our accommodation, while embracing the much-loved rustic appeal of the Berg that has made this resort so popular.  We believe we have achieved exactly that, based on the tremendous feedback from our guests,” said Tim Spencer, Hotel Director for First Group.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Southern Drakensberg, the resort features a host of outdoor adventure entertainment such as trout fishing, horse riding, archery, paintball and picnics. La Vita wellness spa offers treatments for the whole family and there is an excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menu at the Bushpot restaurant.
