    While understanding the water is probably borehole, the filters on the bathroom taps need improvement - to filter out the sandy sediment. Other than that, there was not much we didn't like.

    We found Champagne Castle quite enchanting and charming! The facilities allow some socializing in the communal areas, but at the same time intimate space for oneself. The rooms offer ample space and seclusion to relax peacefully while enjoying the spectacular views of mountain and well cared for gardens. The staff were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. Every wish is taken care of :) including the excellent variety and quality of food on offer throughout the day and the evenings! Many interesting activities on premises or close by make it a fantastic place to stay!

    Everything was outstanding. The food was very delicious, although there was not a variety of chicken dishes. I would have preferred to eat a chicken bryiani like last year, chicken curry, fried chicken, chicken soup etc. The staff was very friendly

    The Drakensberg holds special magic for us, with so many memories of holidays long gone by. Our stay at Champagne Castle did not disappoint, being a little step back into the past for us. Sadly we could only stay for one night so did not have the opportunity to use the facilities extensively, but we loved every minute we were there.

    No covered parking for motor vehicles and we had a hail storm for almost 2 hours.

    The location and staff are something I will always remember they were absolutely superb. The food was fantastic and you are spoilt for choice. Mid week breaks are lovely for peace and quiet and weekends seem to be more of a family affair. The hotel is located close to shops, restaurants and activities if that is what you so desire.

    We felt that the facilities seemed a bit dated and in need of a little refurbishment.

    You’re surrounded by the most spectacular scenery …. Simply breathtaking. We stayed in a chalet, which was spacious and very comfortable. Lovely patio where we enjoyed most of our meals, incredible water pressure, lovely showers! It was extremely hot weather, but we chilled and went on a short but very pretty walk through the forest where it was shady and cool. We felt completely safe, staff were lovely, and the chalet is a little stroll away from the hotel swimming pool, restaurant, bar etc. There’s no air conditioning but all rooms were equipped with a large and very effective freestanding fan.

    My wife and I were so impressed with this place that we extended our stay- the views from our bedroom are absolutely stunning and the food in the restaurant is simply wonderful especially as we are both vegetarian. Delighted with the quality and choice available we did a number of hikes from the hotel- up into the mountains, what a wonderful location- and all at an excellent price

    Some of the facilities do need updating and deeper cleaning. I asked for the diffusers to be removed from our chalet as i am allergic to the fragrances and you could pick up some stale odours … understandable with so many bookings .. just needs extra cleaning not fragrances

    Dinner was good and better than most hotels we have been to in ZA. The location is spectacular and the facilities and staff were good. We appreciated the efforts made in the upkeep of the hotel. We stayed in the self catering chalet; the position was lovely, it was remote and yet close enough to enjoy meals at the hotel if we so wished.

    Can't think of anything, perhaps a more environmentally friendly policy could be initiated where the shampoo bottles, soap, bedding etc are only replaced on request. But that's all I can think of...

    Food was incredible - all meals were very high quality. The view was also outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
