Mount-Aux-Sources Hotel - Accommodation near Bergville,  KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Orion Mount-Aux-Sources is named after Mount-Aux-Sources, the highest peak in the world-famous Amphitheatre in the northern Drakensberg. Measuring 3282 metres high, it was discovered in 1836 by French missionaries and christened Mount-Aux-Sources, or "mountain of springs". The mighty Tugela has its source here and plummets 2000 metres over the Mount-Aux-Sources plateau making it the second highest waterfall in the world. Its spectacular mountain setting, and rustic flavour make this hotel a popular destination for weddings, romantic weekends or fun-filled family vacations. The hotel's reputation for peace and tranquillity is not exaggerated. Here you wake up to bird song instead of the sounds of morning traffic.
