I have just returned from a relaxing stay with family. Reception on check in and check out was excellent - both staff (a gentleman on arrival and a lady on departure) managed to blend professionalism with friendliness. We had to go to reception 3 times during our stay, the same lady that helped us did not display the same level... More

Returning from the KZN coast we spent the weekend at this lovely hotel in the Drakensberg. The view from the hotel terasse is spectacular! We did a lot of hiking. The buffet meals are very delicious. One can do a lot of activities around this area of the Berg. We will be back!

I stayed at Champagne Castle with my husband in April for 3 nights. We found the staff to be friendly, the natural surroundings absolutely stunning, the room to be spacious and clean and the food was tasty with plenty of variety. This is a family hotel so there is something for everyone. We enjoyed the spa treatments, however book early... More

We spent three days at this hotel. The location is just beautiful, set at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains. The view from our room was wonderful and we had a flock of geese, baboons and monkeys wandering about outside. The bedroom was very large with a huge bed and a balcony overlooking the grounds as well as views of... More

Beautiful hotel in magnificent surroundings. Very comfortable room - although the promised view of the mountain was blocked by a tree... Revisited after 30 years. Disappointed by indifferent food. Bland, often over-cooked. Atmosphere spoilt by management reprimanding a staff member in our presence... Definitely not on! Suggest management spend more time on making guests feel welcome and ensuring standards are... More

Spent 3 nights here last week, the hotel is set in the most exquisite surroundings and have some fantastic challenging hikes. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the food was amazing. I will definitely be back when I next visit South Africa but will certainly stay longer.

This review covers the self-catering cottages at Champagne Castle, where my extended family and I have stayed for two years running. The cottages are excellently equipped and finished to a very high standard, comprising three en-suite bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge with fireplace & under-floor heating. There is also a verandah with gas braai. The views of the mountains from... More

My wife and I first visited this hotel at least 20 years ago. It is situated in a unique part of South Africa, with breathtaking views of the Drakensberg Mountains - and easy access to Battlefields of the Anglo/Boer War. It can be a relaxed "away from it all" kind of stay, or an energetic exploration of mountain walks, or... More
