Drakensberg, Champagne Valley

Acorn Cottages

Acorn Cottages

Enjoy heavenly scenery all around you from the peace and privacy of your own home from home cottage or suite in the stunning Champagne Valley. 

Look up at the imposing Drakensberg Mountains of Champagne and Cathkin, with nearby access to Cathedral Peak, the majestic Amphitheatre at Royal Natal National Park and Giants Castle. All these areas are waiting for you to explore and each area differs totally.

Once home in the afternoons enjoy the rock pool and the beauty of South African sunsets, from your own verandah.
Being just 4 km off the road that leads into the mountains we have the best of both worlds, total peace and quiet and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, but you are near the local restaurants and hotels for meals etc.

Beware of cutting your time here, as there is so much to do and see, it is not unknown for a guest to arrive for 3 days and stay for 12! They leave as friends.

Delicious and plentiful breakfasts are served when possible on the lawn in the shade of an acacia tree, any type of breakfasts are offered and if you find the views so relaxing request another cup of coffee and take your time! Chat to your hostess about the local activities and restaurants etc and even for recommendations for your next stop.

Facilities

Electric blankets, fans, bar fan, tea and coffee facilities, satellite TV and CD player

Directions

FROM JOHANNESBERG N3 to Harrismith, N5 to Bethlehem, but turn left after 5 km to BERGVILLE, R74, then keep on the R74 at next intersection.

FROM DURBAN N3 to ESTCOURT NORTH/GIANTS CASTLE turn off, exit 179, turn LEFT and drive through LOSKOP, beware animals in the road and children, to 4 way intersection, LEFT at THOKOSISA corner. After 4km you will see the ACORN COTTAGE road sign to the right, drive 2km and turn right again, keep straight until you see our gate.
PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY, ANIMALS AROUND.
