孔雀石莊園

Auf unserer Tour nach Lesotho haben wir einen Stop dort gemacht und einen tollen Abend mit super Essen verbracht. Absolut empfehlenswert - Danke

We rolled into Malachite Manor hyped for 4-star bliss in the Sapphire Room, but boy, were we in for a comedic tragedy. The main queen-size bed was so unforgivingly firm it turned our night into a back-and-hip ache festival—think sleeping on a boulder disguised as hospitality-grade comfort. The secondary bed? A comically small, marshmallow-soft setup screaming “kids only,” useless for grown-ups. Adding insult to injury, the room’s hippy-dippy descriptions of sapphire crystals promising “serenity and depression relief” had us laughing through the pain—those gems sure didn’t heal our mattress misery! Complaining got us nowhere: the manager’s polite but pointless offers—a room swap to more of the same firmness or a duvet “softener”—felt like a bad punchline. No compensation in sight, and their claim of zero past gripes made us feel like fault-finding oddballs. The scenic gardens and cozy bar? Nice, but irrelevant when you’re too sore to enjoy them. We escaped at 7pm, wallet lighter by three nights’ fees. Tripadvisor tip: If you crave actual rest over pseudo-spiritual gimmicks and dismissive service, skip this. Dive into other reviews for bed horror stories and odd themes that don’t deliver.

Sehr ruhig, Personal sehr zuvorkommend

Malachite Manor war der krönende Abschluss unserer Reise durch die Drakensberge. Die Lodge liegt in traumhaft ruhiger Lage und ist ein optimaler Ausgangspunkt für Wandertouren in den Naturschutzreservaten. Die Logde ist wirklich sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wir wurden während unseres Aufenthalts sehr verwöhnt. Das Restaurant bietet ein sehr leckeres Essen und hat eine sehr gute Auswahl an hochwertigen Produkten zum Frühstück. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können Malachite Manor sehr empfehlen!

We had a very pleasent stay here. Food, cooking and service was excellent. The only thing we were missing is a longer walking trail around or next to the property. Being a tourist you either arrive from the Durban area or from Joburg. After a longer drive you want to stretch your legs on a longer walk. However, this is not a complaint, its a remark only. Next time being in this area we'll certainly chose this beautiful place again. Thank you!

A really beautiful boutique style guest house with very comfortable beds, great food and staff who go out of their way to help you

We had a wonderful stay. The setting is beautiful, the staff are friendly, the rooms are very comfortable and the food is superb.

The hospitality received was a 10/10 - from reception/check-in to breakfast in the morning. Love it and would definitely book again when visiting the area.

We enjoyed two nights here. The rooms are great, clean and very comfortable. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Perhaps the only small consideration is that the walls between the rooms are not great for keeping sound out. If your neighours are noisy you will be disturbed.
