Description

Situated in the heart of a World Heritage Site, Champagne Castle Hotel in the Central Drakensberg near Winterton offers you the opportunity to recharge body and soul by combining nature s nurturing with personalised service, great food and charming facilities.

It is a ‘get-away’ commanding an equally extraordinary location at the foothills of the Central Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

The fact that it is situated within a World Heritage Site, the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, only serves to reinforce this 4-star hotel’s slogan; ‘Sense of Place’. In short, our hotel is widely considered to hold one of the finest locations in the entire Drakensberg range.

Champagne Castle Hotel is a very special destination. For visual impact, recreational variety and luxurious splendour, our hotel is pretty close to being an ultimate experience.

The overriding impact of your stay, however, will be dictated by your proximity to the most dramatic and immediate views of the Drakensberg Escarpment and the ‘Barrier of Spears’, the magnificent amphitheatre of the Little Berg.

Whether you walk or hike, trout fish or horse ride, play golf or tennis, swim or bowl, everything at Champagne Castle has been configured to embrace this theatre.
