Flycatcher Castle - Graskop, Mpumalanga

Conference Venues, Hotels, Wedding Venues Accommodation

Mpumalanga, Graskop, Conference Venues, Hotels, Wedding Venues
Description
The Castle perfectly compliments its surroundings and reflects an awareness and love of nature, with beautiful views across the Mantitshi wetland and river. This home mirrors this peacefulness as the rooms do not have televisions but rather echo Nature’s calls.

There are 6 suites which are all individually decorated in styles of end of the 19th century composers 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 lovely 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 4m 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.

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.
