Description

Little Acres B&B is centrally situated in the beautiful Champagne Valley in the heart of the Central Drakensberg and adjoining the World Heritage Site. We are close to the Champagne Sports Resort and Nest Hotel and easily accessed directly from the R600 (the road from Winterton to Champagne Castle and the Monks Cowl Nature Reserve). Safe parking is provided on our 1 1/2 hectare property which secured by an unobtrusive electric fence.

All our facilities have been renovated recently and we presently have three beautiful, large, double, guest rooms furnished with king size beds. Single beds can be provided on request and two of the rooms will easily accommodate an extra single bed should you be accompanied by a young child. Two of the rooms have en-suite bathrooms and the third has a private bathroom. The rooms are all heated and the bathrooms have under floor heating. In our bedrooms, dining and lounge areas smoking is not permitted, but guests are free to smoke outside where ashtrays are provided on the patios.

Full English breakfasts (price included in your package) are served, weather permitting, on the patio, which has a stunning view of the mountains, otherwise we will serve you in our dining room. The delicious breakfasts are prepared and served exclusively by your hosts who take pride in spoiling you and setting the tone for a special day in the mountains.

We are very close to all the facilities in the Central Drakensberg. One can spend a day in the World Heritage Site exploring the mountain trails which range from easy half hour walks to more strenuous hikes which can take several hours or participating in the many activities nearby which range from white water rafting (in season), quad bike trails and horseback excursions. Alternatively gravitate to more sedate activities like browsing at one of the many shops which cater specifically for the needs of tourists or enjoy a cup of coffee and a meal at one of the excellent catering establishments in the vicinity.

Then relax in our lovely garden, enjoy the panoramic view, which is focused on Cathkin Peak and Champagne Castle and extends from Giant's Castle to Arthur's Seat, and watch the sun set behind the majestic mountains of the Drakensberg. You could also wander down to the banks of the Sterkspruit which flows through our property and enjoy a picnic or sundowner. You might even be lucky enough to see a duiker or reedbuck coming to the river for an evening drink!
