We recently had the pleasure of spending two nights at Premier Resort Sani Pass, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning scenery that surrounded us. Nestled in the heart of nature, the resort offers breathtaking views that made our stay even more special. The accommodations were impeccable, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, and had a lovely balcony where we could enjoy our morning coffee while soaking in the picturesque landscape. One of the highlights of our stay was exploring the beautiful grounds of the resort. The well-maintained gardens, walking trails, and nearby attractions provided us with plenty of opportunities to connect with nature and unwind. We also indulged in some delicious meals at the on-site restaurant, where the friendly staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary preferences. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality of the staff. They were always eager to assist us and made us feel welcomed throughout our stay. Their genuine smiles and helpful nature added to the overall positive atmosphere of the resort. We left Premier Resort Sani Pass feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the beautiful memories we created during our short getaway. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. We can't wait to return for another relaxing escape!

Stayed with family of 10 in 5 Bedroom manor. It is a beautiful home in the mountains. Large dining and lounge area with deck overlooking mountains and hot water splash pool. Very well furnished and designed en suite rooms. Very private with Air conditions and fireplace. Have vacationed extensively in the berg with family. This was by far the most comfortable and memorable. The last few kilometres to resort was a bit challenging however if you drive carefully it’s manageable. All the staff were excellent. Congratulations to management.

Everything was absolutely fantastic! The staff, food, cleanliness, and the location. I'm a hiker, and the resort backed up onto the Drakensberg Gardens National Park, so many fantastic hikes. After a long day out on the trail, I could come back to a lovely room and relax, go to the sauna, or get a massage. Views were absolutely stunning! And if you have children, it's a fantastic place to take them: playground, swimming, canoeing on a safe pond, horseback riding, mini golf, zipline, etc, etc.

We also enjoyed the excellent breakfast served each morning on their restaurant terrace overlooking the grounds and ocean.

We enjoyed exploring the town and the beach.

We enjoyed exploring the town and the beach. The cottage was just right for us but the narrow stairs were challenging. We used the upstairs 'verandah ' to make the most of the Seaview and the braai. Favorite place was the restaurant in the caravan park; ideal for breakfast and watching the whales. The take away fish and chips from the Corner Fish and Chips was the best value for money. Next time I will avoid staircases.

Kokstad has become a little run down since I was there in the early 1990''s but there seems to be a concerted effort in reviving the local industry. I was a little sceptical in finding car parking on the main streets but the new mall areas had lots of parking avaliable that seemed safer. There were also car guards avalaible - many of whom begged for food in addtion to a monetary tip. The surrounding area of Kokstad is still as beautful and scenic as I remember and typical of a South African mountain town.
