We just returned from a good trip where my kids truly thrived. They enjoyed everything from horse riding to swimming in the pool and tubing on the river. The wide range of activities kept them entertained and active throughout our stay, making it a perfect family getaway. The clean, safe environment allowed us to let our children roam and explore without worry.

Really good Restaurant Experience

Dining during our stay was an absolute pleasure! The restaurant served up some of the best food I've had in a long time. The attention to detail was evident, as the manager took the time to bring out our meals and ensure everything was perfect. We even enjoyed a delicious take-out dinner that did not compromise on quality. Highly recommend!

Comfortable Log Cabin Stay

We were thrilled to stay in a well-appointed log cabin that offered stunning views and all the comforts we needed. The cabin was outfitted with cozy beds, efficient air conditioning, and good water facilities. It provided a peaceful respite after a day filled with activities. Just the place for a relaxing retreat!

8.2/10

I had a wonderful time at the resort! The location is absolutely stunning with great views of the dam and mountains, perfect for outdoor activities. The rooms were spacious and clean, but a bit chilly at night since they only had a fan heater and an electric blanket. The staff were warm and welcoming, making my stay even more enjoyable. On the downside, I found the value for money could be better, especially given the state of the dining experience which was just average. Overall, a memorable stay with some room for improvement.

Our stay was quite pleasant overall, especially during the Christmas in the Berg festival. The Lakeside chalets were beautifully furnished and provided a great atmosphere. However, the dining experience left much to be desired due to poor service and lack of festive decor. The location is ideal for hiking and exploring the surrounding area, but improvements in dining service would greatly enhance the experience.

My experience at the resort was unfortunately very disappointing. The location was nice and has the potential for a peaceful stay, but my room was filthy and poorly maintained, which completely ruined my visit. The service from the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful when I raised my concerns, leaving me feeling unheard. I regrettably left after the first night, feeling dissatisfied and ripped off.

Our stay at Dragon Peaks Park was simply wonderful! The management clearly cares about the experience, and we noticed so many improvements throughout our visit. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we felt safe and comfortable during our time there. While we absolutely loved the experience, we couldn't help but notice some dated facilities that could use an upgrade.

The Thatched Roof house we stayed in was spacious and clean, but the noise from upstairs was quite distracting. Plus, the staircase lacked a rail, which was a safety concern for us.

Our stay was absolutely delightful! The views were breathtaking, and the amenities were more than enough for our family self-catering needs. The horse riding activity was a highlight, thanks to our informative guide. While the room arrangement was a bit tight for wheelchair access, it was manageable with assistance. Overall, this place offers a fantastic family getaway surrounded by nature, though the dining experience could use some improvement in service time.
