Description

River Crossing is set on 100 acres of land with magnificent, panoramic views of the lush farmlands of the Champagne Valley and the mountains, Cathkin Peak and Champagne Castle.

Situated in the Central Drakensberg, which forms part of the World Heritage Site, River Crossing is bounded by both the Mtoti and the Sterkspruit Rivers and local reedbuck and duiker, which are frequently spotted, take their refuge in the surrounding riverine vegetation.

Our stylish, luxurious and romantic décor, combined with great value for money, has made us a favourite destination for honeymoon couples, wedding guests, golf enthusiasts, international and local tourists and also conference delegates who attend conferences at nearby hotels such as Drakensberg Sun or Champagne Sports Resort.
