We visited Destiny Castle today. We called the proprietor beforehand to book, and we were told that a sedan wouldn't make it, because there had been rain and sedans don't have a diff lock. No worries mate! We were here in my husband's GWM Steed 5. 2x4 but diff lock - sorted, right? We just loaded the family into the cab and the rest into the scoop.
Guys. The drive was one of the worst experiences of my life! My 11yo niece who was in the scoop screamed until she was literally blue in the face - but we couldn't stop! We had to maintain momentum to make it to the top! At least 4 of the 7 of us thought we'd die today. And I'm not exaggerating.
The Castle is beautiful and well worth a visit - I'd love to stay a night. Johnny was very friendly and informative. But world, heed my warning - the trip from the gate to the Castle is a 45 minute off-road adventure for experienced drivers. DO NOT ATTEMPT THE DRIVE without a Landcruiser, a Unimog, or a helicopter.
I'm not joking - a new clutch and handbrake is proof.

Read moreThe drive to Destiny Castle, winding past serene farms, was peaceful and absolutely gorgeous—a perfect start to an unforgettable visit. The incline up to the Castle is noticeable but completely manageable, and the reward at the top is well worth it.
Jonny’s passion for sharing the Castle’s story and the love Mike put into building it was truly inspiring. Every corner of the Castle showcases incredible attention to detail, creating a breathtaking and memorable experience.
The views are simply spectacular, and the quiet tranquility is unmatched—it's the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. Be sure to book in advance so Jonny knows to expect you. A magical...
