What a wonderful setting under the Champagne Castle. Stunning sunsets, comfortable house, excellent bedding and facilities. The fire worked perfectly. And a braai outside looking up at the mountain under a superb sunset was memorable. We used the putt putt daily, and I used the golf driving range, which is nicely set up, with short grass so it is easy to find the golf balls.

This has got to be one the better self catering resorts we’ve stayed at. The chalet was an 8 sleeper unit, with 3 bedrooms, a sleeper couch and pretty much everything you would need. Breathtaking views of the mountain, kiddies play area + play room, putt putt, outside chess, tennis court, and a pool. We will definitely be back.

We have been coming to this resort since we were kids... haven't been in years but so glad we decided to go back. It is neat, clean, well maintained, the staff are friendly. There is also a lot to do for kids and adults alike. Stunning view of the mountains! The only thing I would suggest is to be specific in your booking. I asked for an 8 sleeper and was given a 6 sleeper with a L-shaped couch as the additional 2 sleeper - not great as we were 8 adults.

This immaculate resort has a lot to offer each one in the family. With lots of outdoor activities on offer as well as indoor games the younger ones will never be bored. The cherry on top is the welcoming and very friendly staff - each one (without exception)is always willing to assist. This gem is highly recommended

Fishing was not that grand, overall experience was awesome. The venue is well established with all the necessary basics. Visited the Drakensberg Boys School, they were amazing and well entertaining. A must to experience!

The resort is well cared for and has friendly accommodating staff. The Chalets are spacious and well equipped. It has to be one of the more pleasnt spots in the Valley. Close to all amenities and shops and restaurants and there is a very inviting pool. I should imagine that it is also a magic place in the winter months.It even has a dam to cater for the fisherman.

A perfect place for a family vacation with kids. Beautiful views of the lake and loads of activities nearby. I think this place is pretty in any season! The houses are comfortable and have a cottage quaintness and are well furnished.
