  • Description of the Guest House in Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal

    Guest House in Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal:

    Guest house in Drakensberg, KwaZulu Natal - The Antbear Guest House is situated in the foothills of South Africas KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg. The guesthouse overlooks the Bushman's River Valley with one of the most spectacular views of the high Drakensberg from Giants Castle to the Amphitheatre.
    Our guest house in Drakensberg is a thatched, whitewashed cottage built high on a natural platform overlooking the Bushman’s River and Giants Castle. Its a bit off the beaten track and is more of an insider tip than just another bed and breakfast. It caters for small intimate groups and never has more than 12 guests at a time. It’s a laid back, lovingly cared for kind of place where you feel a sense of happiness and peace.
    Everything at the Antbear has had the skilled hands of your craftsman-host laid upon it. The lodge is filled with gorgeous hand crafted furniture, wonderful wooden sculptures and a seemingly never-ending collection of artistic aspects to discover. This is the hallmark of the Antbear, firmly stamped on the newest room with its quirky bathroom mosaic and carved reading/smoking chair.
    The Antbear Guest House has six double en-suite bedrooms. Each room is differently decorated with uniquely eccentric and artistic wooden furniture. The luxury room has its own private lounge and a fireplace and its bathroom includes a Jacuzzi spa bath. Another en-suite double consists of a loft overlooking a private lounge with a cozy fireplace, and there is a main lounge and dining room for your exclusive use.

    A breathtaking view of 160 km!

    The Midlands craft meander starts just 15 km from the Antbear. The old world charm and tranquil countryside has attracted a new breed of people who have taken residence among the farmers. These are creative crafters, sculptures, potters, weavers and leather workers who ply their trade in quaint old cottages and farmhouses and welcome the curious. The Midlands is dotted with cozy country inns just perfect for unhurried lunches or just tea and homemade jam scones. The Howick falls (80 km from the Antbear) makes a worthwhile day trip. The waterfall falls some 90 m and the little trail down into the gorge is wonderful.
