“Love the place and will come back, but Housekeeping needs a bit of attention”
Love the simplicity of Mount Park and really enjoy being there because it is private and peaceful. Great showers! Favourite is Whispering Waters - comfortable beds & pillows and great shower / water pressure.

“Great stay in the Midlands”
We were a party of 6 adults who stayed 3 nights in the safari tents and 2 of us in the deluxe double room on the last night. It's a lovely property with lots of activities - we didn't get to do much because of the weather but still managed to go to the peak which is a nice hike (took us 3 hours to go up the Hyrax Trail and down the Contour Path). All of the camping spots or various accommodation units are very well spaced out and offer a good amount of privacy. There is WiFi in the restaurant (it did not reach to the tents or the double room) and the restaurant has a varied menu including a few vegetarian and vegan options (we didn't eat though). On Friday & Saturday there was free tea, coffee & cake at 3pm which was a nice touch (the jam squares were delish). The two twin safari tents each come with their own dedicated kitchenette within a lockable cupboard which are next to each other in a communal semi-closed lounge area - they are quite well equipped with a small bar fridge, a two plate stove and various cutlery & crockery. There is also a braai which we didn't use. The two twin tents are nicely done with a dresser, towel rack, kitchen unit with a kettle and some glasses and tin cups in the tent as well as chairs/a couch inside and a plastic table and chairs outside. The lighting was good and plug sockets were sufficient. The ablutions were just beyond the kitchen/lounge area and also shared with the campers (there are other ablutions on the property) and they included 2 showers and 3 toilets. The shower was always hot (if temperamental)! They are cleaned daily and well stocked with toilet paper.
