Hlalanathi Drakensberg Resort - Self catering challets and caravan sites.

Hlalanathi Drakensberg Resort is beautifully set in the Natal Drakensberg, with serviced chalets, and spacious grassed caravan stands overlooking the Tugela River and Amphitheatre.

Hlalanathi is situated halfway between Gauteng and the coast, this is an ideal breakaway resort with modern facilities and sparkling ablutions.

Hlalanathi Drakensberg Resort is priveleged to be a family heritage set with the most magnificent view of the recently proclaimed Unesco World Heritage site, the Amphitheatre of the Natal Drakensberg Park.

The farm has been in the ownership of the van Rensburg family since 1932. Hans van Rensburg for many years allowed the overflow of the Royal natal National Park campsite to camp on the property.

The present resort was started by Jack and Heather van Rensburg in 1983. At present there are 16 self-catering thatched chalets and 56 electrified caravan/ tent sites.

Guests enjoy the quaint restaurant Esibayeni with its festive pub, The Boars head. The now well-established gardens with the mountains as the view, entice folk to laze and relax!

However, for the more active, Hlalanathi boasts one of the finest golf courses. Even if you aren't a golfer, a walk around the manicured course to enjoy the peace of the rolling terrain, the water features and bird life is a treat not to be missed.

At hlalanathi you can enjoy a top-rated resort with well-maintained facilities, reasonable prices and the opportunity to meet great people.

Walks

To the sandbanks of the Thukela river and along to the Rapids. Trilby Hill has a panoramic view to remember.

Amphitheatre Golf Course

There are alternate tees for an 18 hole game on our 9 hole course on the banks of the Thukela. Named for the exquisite views of the Amphitheatre. The course has been developed with minimum impact on the 'berg environment. In fact, indigenous vegetation has been encouraged between the fairways, and the water features have attracted an array of local bird life. BRING OWN CLUBS.
