19 Mount Champagne
Situated at the foot of Cathkin Peak, No 19 Mount Champagne affords an unparalleled but private view of the Champagne and Cathkin range of mountains and is to be found within a secure holiday complex. The double-storey, thatched cottage comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a large open-plan living area, accommodating up to 8 people. The main bedroom is furnished with an extra-length king-size bed and has an en-suite bathroom with a shower and bath. Located upstairs, the second bedroom contains twins that can be converted into a king-size bed. Downstairs, the third bedroom also contains twins that can be converted into a king-size bed, while the fourth bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. For flexibility, twin beds are available on the landing, and a collapsible baby cot is available. The 3 bedrooms share the use of 2 bathrooms with showers only, and all beds are fitted with electric blankets in winter. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with a stove and oven, a microwave, a fridge, tea and coffee station, and meals can be enjoyed at the dining table. A pure water tap and an ice-making machine are also available. In winter, a cosy but efficient wood burner counters the briskness of the cold evenings and keeps the cottage warm and comfortable. The lounge offers comfortable seating and a TV with DStv. Good quality Wi-Fi is available. A spacious garden allows for sunbathing at your leisure, with the Sterkspruit river just a stone's throw away which offers an alternative to the swimming pool and as well as tubing for those in the mood. Mount Champagne itself offers tennis, fishing, canoeing and a delightful swimming pool area all within 200 m of the cottage. Regrettably, pets cannot be accommodated. Extensive walking trails are available with organised hikes, horse riding and helicopter trips into the mountains, available ex Dragon Peaks resort just 1 km away. The renowned Drakensberg Boys Choir School borders the property and the sound of their weekly concerts echoes across the valley. Mountain biking is also popular in the area.
