Hotels can be found in the prime tourist attraction in South Africa’s Free State, Golden Gate Highlands National Park. It's nestled in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains. The richly verdant park is named for the magical effect of sunlight splashing off the stunning Brandwag or Sentinel Rock outcropping, and other sandstone cliffs in the park. The easily cut sandstone from the park is been used in building the smartly designed buildings found on the Eastern Highlands.
