Champagne Cottages

Champagne Cottages Self-catering accommodation in Champagne Valley Kwazulu Natal

Description

Champagne Cottages is a small family owned resort situated along side Bell Park Dam in the mountainous region of the beautiful Central Drakensberg.

The Central and Northern Drakensberg has been renamed the Okahlambha Region and has recently been awarded “World Heritage” status.

The region has no “poor weather” season and the summers, although hot during the day, are invariably cool in the evenings. The winters are especially enjoyable as the Central Drakensberg has comparatively mild winters with sunny days and crisp mornings and evenings.

Champagne Cottages is situated approx. 150m from Bell Park Dam and offers guests a private gate to the dam.

There is a concrete slipway for watercraft. As well as access to Bell Park we have our own small dam on the property .

There are beautiful walks and bird watching around the dams.
