    We recently had the pleasure of spending two nights at Premier Resort Sani Pass, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning scenery that surrounded us. Nestled in the heart of nature, the resort offers breathtaking views that made our stay even more special. The accommodations were impeccable, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, and had a lovely balcony where we could enjoy our morning coffee while soaking in the picturesque landscape. One of the highlights of our stay was exploring the beautiful grounds of the resort. The well-maintained gardens, walking trails, and nearby attractions provided us with plenty of opportunities to connect with nature and unwind. We also indulged in some delicious meals at the on-site restaurant, where the friendly staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary preferences. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality of the staff. They were always eager to assist us and made us feel welcomed throughout our stay. Their genuine smiles and helpful nature added to the overall positive atmosphere of the resort. We left Premier Resort Sani Pass feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the beautiful memories we created during our short getaway. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. We can't wait to return for another relaxing escape!

    Stunning location right in the mountains. The private honeymoon suite was outstanding. It was a separate, spacious bungalow furnished in a luxurious African style with sliding doors leading onto a private patio that faced the mountains. We could lie outside on loungers or lie in bed and look onto the uninterrupted view of the mountains. The room had a private bathroom with bath and shower, a dressing room, desk, lounge area, fridge and coffee/tea facilities. All were spotlessly clean and of a very high standard. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming and the food! The food was so delicious. There wasn’t a single meal I didn’t like, and they made all our favourite desserts! We had a lovely Swedish massage at the Wellness Centre which left us feeling very relaxed.

    Everything was absolutely fantastic! The staff, food, cleanliness, and the location. I'm a hiker, and the resort backed up onto the Drakensberg Gardens National Park, so many fantastic hikes. After a long day out on the trail, I could come back to a lovely room and relax, go to the sauna, or get a massage. Views were absolutely stunning! And if you have children, it's a fantastic place to take them: playground, swimming, canoeing on a safe pond, horseback riding, mini golf, zipline, etc, etc.

    We've been coming to Champagne Valley for many years from when my children were small. Now we visit with their own children. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the view of the mountains is spectacular. However, a word of caution, the roads are in a terrible state, so driving a 4x4 is helpful.

    There are several resorts and a number of smaller accommodations in this picturesque valley, a hotspot for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. It is close to the famous Sani Pass, where 4X4 enthusiasts can ascend one of the highest and most scenic trails in Southern Africa. The town has charming shops and eateries, and many of the resorts offer a host of activities, restaurants and outdoor adventure options.

    We had such a lovely time, from the accommodation, the staff, the food and surroundings were great. The only problem we had was that our shower was leaking in the bathroom, and the whole bathroom was under water. but the staff moved us to another room, the shower did not leak, but all the tiles was loose in this bathroom as well. Just think the bathrooms needs some maintenance

    I love the resort. Have been holidaying for over 15 years. But the Front Office Manager with her Reception Staff do need training in Hospitality, extremely rude, unhelpful and no Guest Service centricity, this makes the stay distasteful and dampens your initial experience. The security Guard at the entrance was more pleasant and welcoming.
