Orion Mont-Aux-Sources is named after Mont-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 Mont-Aux-Sources, or "mountain of springs". The mighty Tugela has its source here and plummets 2000 metres over the Mont-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. Less than four hours drive from either Johannesburg or Durban, the hotel's proximity to Gauteng and KwaZulu -Natal also makes it an ideal conference venue.
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. Not surprising since the nearest town of Bergville is over forty kilometres away.
Orion Mont-Aux-sources has a total of 107 rooms including Standard, Deluxe and Honeymoon Suites. All the rooms have an en-suite bathroom, a tea/coffee station, a telephone and satellite TV.
