FLYCATCHER CASTLE
Hotel/ Boutique Hotel Accommodation
in Graskop, Escarpment,
Mpumalanga, South Africa
Flycatcher Castle is situated on the outskirts of Graskop towards God's
Window in Mpumalanga. The Castle, set in the style of a 17th century Italian
Castle, opened to the public at the end of 2007 and is a fairytale experience
for all visitors and guests alike, be it for lunch, tea, castle tour or a stay
over in the luxurious suites.
The Castle has been a dream turned to reality in just three years. Having been
conceptualized in the form of a sculpture by part owner Manie Connoway early in
2005, the castle was constructed using hand picked relics and works of art to
create a magnificent masterpiece set in one of the most beautiful areas of the
country.
There are six suites which are all individually decorated in styles
of end of the 19th century composer's such as Strauss in frivolous pink, Gounod
in striking Art Deco and Mozart in red velvet and gilded wallpaper. Other unique
aspects of the suites include breath taking views as well a magnificent bath set
in an open plan style, ideal for couples wanting a romantic and enchanted
experience. A sixth suite, The Ruby Royal, is ideal for guests who dare to have
a completely different and exciting experience in an Arabian setting. The
bedroom tower has a four meter high mirrored ceiling, the indoor solar heated
plunge pool is framed by Persian carpets and embellished with a chandelier laden
with "rubies". The throne chamber (toilet) boasts a tiara, mirrors, "ruby"
jewels and optical fiber lights (a place where there can be no secrets!). A
spacious shower overlooking the plunge pool and indoor garden promises sheer
enjoyment (please note that the Ruby Royal has no bath). Food and drinks from
the kitchen can be served through a service hatch ... so there is no need to go
anywhere, but "hide" and "play" in the Ruby Royal.
Other features of the Castle include a Chapel which can be used for weddings and
small intimate gatherings and functions, as well as an art gallery showcasing a
variety of bronzed sculptures. Marwan Al Sayed is the Executive Chef in Der Rosenkavalier Restaurant,
bringing fine dining cuisine to perfectly complete this magical experience.
