In the jaw-dropping 'Dragon's Mountain' landscape you will feel like you're living in the pages of a fantasy. And the Bushman's Nek Berg and Trout Resort is the perfect base from which to explore the misty magic of the Southern Drakensberg.

It's full of wide-open spaces and an absence of crowds. There's little like a returning to a warm, open fire when there's a chill in the air and each self-contained unit has its own fireplace! It's a great way to pass some time, especially when you're sipping a great South African red and are surrounded by panoramic mountain views.

For entertainment, there are hikes into the countryside to discover the unique mountain flora, fauna and abundant bird life. Try your hand at trout fishing in the resort's well-stocked dam. There's plenty to do for everyone - from adrenaline junkies to seekers of the more sedate. Try paintball, horse riding, tennis, bowls, table tennis, pool tables, action cricket, darts, squash, badminton, volleyball, mini golf and a selection of pampering treatments at the resort's wellness centre. A big-screen TV keeps sports fans and newshounds happy, while kids love tractor trips to the farmyard, board games and the jungle gym. The resort also runs a shuttle service to a crystal waterfall on a scenic river, where the water is as clear as the mountain air. Take a longer hike with a Registered Guide to view mysterious caves adorned with Bushman-San paintings.

You'll never run out of things to do at Bushman's Nek - only time in which to do it!
