Exciting news: ATKV Drakensville is open for bookings

Dear ATKV Guest

It is with great excitement that ATKV management shares this information. ATKV Drakensville is open for bookings. Please contact the resort on 036 438 6287 or book online at https://www.atkvresorts.co.za/book/.

  1. When we welcome you to the resort, our staff will wear their masks/face shields and sanitise their hands at all times. Guests must please note that rules about wearing masks and sanitising hands will be communicated on arrival. It is of critical importance that these rules are adhered to.
  2. A guest sanitation station will be erected at the main entrance to the resort, where each visitor has to have their temperature taken and sanitise their hands. A COVID-19 questionnaire will be sent to every visitor (therefore every individual in a family/group) to complete. These questionnaires will be checked and taken in at the main gate on arrival.
  3. A drive-through reception will be in place as far as possible, so that key packages (keys, disclaimer forms and permits) for fully prepaid bookings can be made available to guests at the main gate, instead of at reception.
  4. Please note that the main gate times will be amended to 06:00-22:00.
  5. A distance of at least 1.5 m must be maintained and social distancing will be indicated.
  6. Due to health risks, cashless transactions will be encouraged (credit/debit cards). All outstanding amounts must be paid 48 hours (weekdays/business days) before arrival.
  7. Unit cleaning services, apart from before arrival and after departure, are optional and guests can indicate on arrival whether they want to use the cleaning service or would rather prefer that no one enters the specific unit.
  8. Units will be fumigated with hygienic substances regularly between arrivals, and will be rotated for use, so that the possibility of infection can be decreased and to allow time for the fumigation to be done properly. (A health certificate will be provided by the supplier for every unit.)
