Premier Drakensberg Hotel and Self-Catering Accommodation

  CHAMPAGNE CASTLE HOTEL (10 out of 10)  - WoW Champagne Castle Hotel. One of the BEST holidays spent in the Berg.
Amazing Hotel with excellent facilities, meals, cocktails, rooms, beds, bathroom, things to do,... read more entertainment, walks, playing bowls, games, bingo, karaoke, just relaxing at the poolside, etc.. Beautiful big & clean pool but was a bit too cold to swim.

However, what really & truly made our holiday extra special was the awesome Management & Staff. They were just so helpful, friendly & accommodating to ensure that they met our needs and meal requirements.
I give this hotel a 10 out of 10 and will definitely go back for more holidays (both in the summer & winter ).

  Couples breakaway  - The best hotel in the Drakensberg.
Very good food and very friendly staff. We stayed in a few more hotels in the Drakensberg during our journey, but your menus are... read more the best. We stayed in a mountain view room which was fabulous. Very comfortable bed and clean room.

  Home away from home.  - This is my 6th stay at Champagne Castle Hotel. The rooms are comfortable despite the fact is is quite dated in decor. The location is simply stunning, which is... read more the reason we love coming here. The food is well.prepared and there is quite a selection to choose from. There's a lot of activities at the hotel from hiking to horse riding to playi ng table tennis in the games room if you don't wish to do outdoor activities.
The downside or should I say improvements that I as a guest would like to see are the following,
1. Friendlier reception when you check in. Perhaps a welcome drink would be great especially after a.long drive.
2. Friendlier wait staff in the dining areas too. On two occasions, this and a previous visit no one attended to us for drinks during our dinner. When the waiter came to our table to pick up our empty plates we told this to them then we got an apology and was told the restaurant was very busy. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. We too are paying guests. The staff forget that if it wasn't for the guests they would have no jobs.
The chefs especially chef Mohamed goes out of his way to make guests feel welcome.
Thank you chef Mohamed.

  Home away from Home  - Even though we were only able to be there for 1 night , we had the most wonderful day/night.
Wonderful friendly staff that always make you feel so welcome, great... read more food ( as always), the views are just to die for ( my soul is in those mountains) and as always ,that relaxed feeling from when you drive in the gate.
Can't wait to be back to our " Sense of Place" , our home away from home .
