Cleo's Pools Hike
There is a small cave next to the stream which has an interesting burial site in the right side of the cave. The burial chamber was upright to cater for a body in a seated position and the remains of a bushman type person were removed for research purposes in the middle of the last century, but the stones of the grave can still be seen.
Another starting point besides the track shown below starting at the Drakensberg Sun is from the top of Berghaven cottages. Take the well-marked path from the top of Bergview moving southwards into the valley. The path is very steep, and you will eventually reach a stream and Cleo’s pool.

Hike Closed From Drak Sun
Went to Drak sun in August 2022 and asked about Cleo's pool hike. The lady at the information desk said they weren't allowed to start the hike from there anymore. So not sure if it will be maintained.
