When you first arrive at Champagne Castle Hotel, it's often in the afternoon, and sometimes even after sunset. It's difficult to describe the emotions that race through you as you walk to the veranda, under the vines, towards those incredible mountains #senseofplace
Sometimes it's the mountains, and other times it's the water. Whichever you choose, there is always tranquillity and peace to be found in the Drakensberg #senseofplace#dragensberg#holiday
The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park (a World Heritage Site) is a rich wildlife sanctuary, containing a significant concentration of San rock art. It is here that you will find the largest group of Bushmen paintings south of the Sahara #senseofplace
At Champagne Castle Hotel, whether you walk or hike, trout fish or horse ride, play golf or tennis, swim or bowl, these incredibly beautiful mountains are always in view #senseofplace#drakensberg#hotel#holiday#mountain
Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame! - William Butler Yeats #senseofplace
While it may be overshadowed by the size of it's neighbours, Champagne Castle and Cathkin Peak, the Matterhorn remains a tough climb for hikers of all skill and fitness levels #senseofplace
On the veranda you'll find this outline of some of the peaks that can be seen from Champagne Castle Hotel. With a little bit of manoeuvring you can line the outline up with the peaks in front of you #senseofplace

Sunset at Champagne Castle Hotel, captured by Willem Cronje during his stay. It's true what they say.... "It's almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream"
We love this photo by Will Cronje. The rays from the sun, the grass, the shades of green, and of course, the mountains #sensofplace#drakensberg#hotel#holiday
