The food fare, is a litany of delicious delights, from the breakfasts, lunches and dinners, to say nothing of the not to be missed dedacent home baked scones topped with fresh churned cream and home made ( yes it's all home made 😂🥰🤗)at the mid morn and mid aft tea times. All locally sourced and authentically conjured in a kitchen by culinary artists, with gifted talents, that may well make Michelen prestige, an after thought🤣 The choice of world class home and also internationally grown wines, and ice cold malts off the tap, are yours to select from and savour.

There's tennis,games and a gorgeous pool to cool off from the warmth of a tropical sun🌞.

Then, of course, the hikes in the mountains,hills and dales,speak of a tranquillity born of ancient antiquity.

Champagne Castle has always been a favourite of ours and it did not let us down on this visit. We had the pleasure of staying there for three nights while over from the UK. Our deluxe room was warmly cosy and comfortable. The bathroom, while spotlessly clean, is dated however the charming, hospitable MD Georges told us that they were in the process of organising a full refurbishment of the bathrooms. It was bitterly cold on the 3 days/nights we were staying there, the mountain was very shy and hid behind a thick blanket of cloud and mist but the main lounge and pub had wonderful glowing, welcoming fires burning in the grate. On our first morning we found the ‘quiet lounge’ and although there was no fire burning we still went in to read. One of the staff members came in, saw there was no fire and immediately offered to light one for us. Thereafter there was a warm welcoming fire waiting to greet us each morning. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name but thank you for your thoughtful service. The food was scrumptious and varied and although we vowed each meal time to ‘only take a little taste’ we left the dining room more than very comfortably satisfied having no willpower to refuse the delights on offer. Mohamed made our meal times a double joy with his friendly, beaming and cheerful smile, and nothing was too much attitude – his omelettes are out of this world delicious. Sithembiso the barman had the most delightful demeanour. He face just lights up with a huge grin when serving customers. Vaughan who seems to oversee the efficient running of the hotel quietly ensures all guests are well catered for and was always quietly in the background should you need assistance. Sadly this will be our last visit to my spiritual home in the Berg but I wish the management, staff and all connected with this gem of a place to stay continued success...

We, my two daughters, an eight month old baby, and I, arrived, overtired, late afternoon at Champagne Castle Hotel. We arrived from Australia and Cape Town.

The road journey from OR Tambo was hours long but uneventful.

However, once we entered the gates of Champagne Castle Hotel, we stepped into an oasis of breathtaking mountain splendor and luxurious and most comfortable accommodation.

Frankly, one forgets about the discomfort of thousands of travel kilometers when one arrives at the hotel with it's splendid luxury garden apartments.

The rooms are spacious, artfully decorated with high quality furnture and artwork depecting the local fauna and flora. We found our roomd spotlessly clean, the linnen crisp and fresh, ample hot water and thé most comfortable beds to lay down a travel tired head.

The daily, buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners are of thé highest standard with a vast array of delectable dishes on offer!

For children there are hours and hours of amusment with ducks, bunny rabbits and a billy goat. Green cabbage leaves and carrots are provided every afternoon around 15h00, affording the young visitors the opportunity to hand feed the bunny rabbits.

Horse riding is available for the young.

Guided walks from the hotel premises are free of charge.

The hotel boasts a 'Wellness Centre providing an opportunity to indulge in some pampering eg massage, skin and grooming treatments.

This establishment must be one of thé accommodation jewels in the Drakensberg range.

It's a pity Australia and Cape Town is so far-far away, but we might, one day, be blessed by being able to return to this breathtakingly beautiful venue in KZN, South Africa .

I highly recommend this hotel for the natural beauty of the Drakensberg range, for its fine cuisine, its superb accommodation and thé most...
