I recently spent a few nights at the well-run Champagne Castle Hotel and loved the daily guided hikes. Pictures: Dr Norman Cahi.

The on-site chapel has the most amazing view of the mountains and is a perfect place for a wedding.
The setting below the majestic Caithkin Peak is perfect just to disappear and come back better.
The resort offers wonderful views, amenities and of course delicious food and wines.
We came across this special piece of rock art made by brave tourists who obviously enjoyed a swim in the fast running bubbling stream pools which is pure mountain water and perfectly safe to drink.
The impressive Sterkspruit waterfall was a great place to just pause, reflect on the pace of life and ponder on one's purpose and priorities.
Pure magic.
God's voice at work.
I found such beauty in the moss covered rocks, flora and unusual plants.
The beautiful ambience of the hotel creates a special feeling of solitude and tranquility.
