Champagne Sports Resort has been striving to make this award winning resort
the perfect place for work and play. This is a difficult balance to achieve but
following recent developments we believe we have created a truly unique
destination catering for all guest requirements in an absolutely spectacular
setting.
Following recent resort developments, Champagne Sports Resort can now
accommodate up to 750 delegates at the foot of the majestic Drakensberg mountain
range. The 40 new hotel rooms and 4 new luxurious executive suites enables us to
offer a total of 152 hotel rooms and 91 time-share chalets of which the majority
are 3 bedrooms (all rooms en-suite).
We are also proud to announce completion of the new BUTTRESS Conference and
Exhibition Centre as well as 4 new boardrooms. Champagne Sports Resort now
offers a total of 16 conference venues including the new state of the art
Buttress Centre with a floor space of 1200m2 (usable area) which seats up to
1400 delegates and banquets 850 guests at round tables. Other venues include the
Sentinel Room which seats up to 1000 delegates, the Monks Cowl centre seating up
to 550 delegates, the Summit Room seating up to 400 delegates and the more
intimate venues ranging between 150 delegates down to the private boardrooms
seating up to a maximum of 20 people. Conference equipment includes the most up
to date equipment with Crestron hand held controls through the bigger venues and
all standard equipment through the smaller meeting areas. Delegates have
internet access in the hotel and all venues and can utilise the business centre
across from the new coffee shop.
Other recently completed additions to the resort include an extended dining room
and largely expanded buffet, a new Wellness Centre and coffee shop with
adjoining lounge. Our new buffet and dining areas comfortable feed up to 700
guests with little queuing and complimented by an outstanding food offering
rapidly gaining a reputation in the hospitality industry. The Wellness Centre
includes an upmarket salon and well fitted gymnasium. The salon has five
treatment rooms, comfortable change rooms and a relaxing rest area with cane
loungers which look up at the Champagne and Cathkin peaks. The gym is fully
equipped for all forms of exercise including general cardiovascular and weight
training.
Nestled within this spectacular leisure, conference and time-share resort is the
magnificent clubhouse which overlooks a hidden golfing masterpiece. The top 30
ranked 18 hole championship golf course has been rated as SA's most beautiful
golf course in recent years with the clubhouse rated in the top five 19th holes
in South Africa.
So whether you are wearing your golf cap or your thinking cap, there's no better
place to find inspiration!
