Dragon Peaks Resort is a lovely getaway nestled in the beautiful central Drakensberg. The accommodations are consistently clean and well-serviced, and the grounds are stunning, making it an excellent value for a family retreat. While the activities for kids could be expanded, and an upgrade to the bathrooms would be beneficial, the overall experience is peaceful and rejuvenating.
