About Little Switzerland Resort
With a name like Little Switzerland, it’s a given that you’ll discover more than enough charm at this affordable family-friendly resort nested at the foot of the Northern Drakensberg. The resort boasts a history that spans over a hundred years, from its start as a tea garden to a transformation into quaint Alpine chalets and hotel rooms with breath-taking views of what feels to be the pinnacle of the South African landscape.
Little Switzerland really is something special, from the beautifully manicured grounds to the main building with authentic thatched roofing and local wood framings and furnishings, each with stories of their own. You'll be warmly welcomed and enraptured by idyllic views of the Drakensberg mountains clad in clouds, shrouded in snow, mellow in mist or crisp and clear.
Revel in serene silence far from traffic and meetings, enjoy our hearty buffet carveries, crackling log fires, and perhaps even some pampering at our spa. Relaxation and comfort are yours for the taking at this affordable family accommodation, with plenty of outdoor activities for both kids and adults to complete your stay and guarantee your return.
