Valhalla, Cathkin Park

This is a holiday home where dreams may just come true. You'll have plenty of food for the soul found in the Central Drakensberg's natural beauty all around you. Plus, a garden to die for with manicured lawns that take centre stage against a jaw dropping dam and mountainous backdrop. 

The home is spacious and equipped with a variety of wellness delights, including a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and pool. You'll feel like you've walked into your very own private retreat in one of South Africa's most beautiful landscapes.

This extravagant property has five bedrooms and can sleep up to 10 guests. Each bedroom is elegantly furnished and the main suites offer gorgeous mountain views. The spacious living areas are perfect for entertaining, with a fully equipped kitchen and a blazing fireplace for those chilly evenings. The massive TV with sound system in the lounge is ideal to catch all those big sporting moments or a cosy pyjama movie night. You'll have direct access to Bell Park Dam, which provides a variety of entertainment options for the whole family. If you have a boat, bring it with you so you can spend your days water skiing, swimming, and taking a lazy sunset cruise to wind down a fulfilled day. The grand exterior spaces will make you want to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Enjoy a flaming braai on the terrace before retreating to the boma area to make some smores while the sun sets. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply a peaceful retreat, this holiday home is the perfect choice for your next getaway.

Pet-friendly on request for pet-friendly dogs. Option to have the resident dogs be a part of your experience. They usually stay in their own separate area when guests are at the property but guests who wish to enjoy their company are welcome to have them around - just let us know. The on-site staff will feed them.

*Please note that there is a dirt road leading to the property (approx. 1.5kms), although manageable, please drive slowly and with caution.*

In the event of any power outages, the property has solar backups which will deliver power to essentials such as fridges, freezers, WiFi and a few of the living areas plug points.

With the home's spectacular position in the mountains, the property is susceptible to lightning strikes and localised storms, which may result in power outages. In this case, Eskom, the power supplier, are committed to restoring the power interruption as quickly as possible.

South Africa is unfortunately also subject to occasional rolling blackouts (load shedding) which is scheduled and details will be relayed to guests as the information becomes available.
