Alpine Heath Resort  ( Northern Drakensberg Hotel accommodation )
Imagine a tapestry of towering mountain peaks and air that's literally as fresh as the mountain breeze. Imagine the tinkling of crystal clear streams and birdlife softly calling in perfect two-part harmony. Imagine enjoying far, far away from the big city atmosphere, the quiet comfort of an exclusive resort and conference village. Looking at it now, it's hard to believe Alpine Heath was once a swamp. This was 180 million years ago, of course. Slowly the mud became compacted sandstone and, covered by a protective layer of basalt, defied the wind and rain to tower to the heavens. This is the glorious picture that greets the eye and fills the soul from every luxuriously appointed chalet, loft and lodge. Alpine Heath is ideally located midway between the bustling business capital of South Africa, Johannesburg and the coastal gem and holiday Mecca, Durban. Set in the heart of the Northern Drakensberg, Alpine Heath boasts the Royal Natal National Park and the majestic Mont Aux Sources Amphitheatre amongst many other scenic attractions including several superb examples of Bushman art, on its doorstep.
