We typically visit another Drakensberg hotel each year, but due to circumstances, we chose to stay at the Champagne Castle Hotel this time. It was a good chance to compare the two, and I must say, we were very pleasantly surprised. The location is stunning, and the hotel grounds meticulously maintained. Rooms are comfortable, the restaurant meals very delicious, and great communal areas to rest and enjoy the peace. WiFi in the rooms would be an added bonus, but on reflection, it was an opportunity to detach from email, whatsapp and social media. The staff was the highlight for us. We met some amazing, talented members of the team. I can’t name them all, but a few who went the extra mile for us, included deputy manager Gabrielle (what an amazing man with an fascinating life story), Phaka and Ayanda (excellent service in the restaurant), chef Grant (made the most delicious melk tert and peppermint crisp tert for us), and who can forget Boh and Sthembuso in the bar! Thanks for a great stay!
