Celebrating Winter Specials at Gooderson Monk’s Cowl Golf Resort
Enjoy a scenic holiday for just R699 per person per night on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis AND the kids stay free. Monks Cowl Golf Resort is ideal for those wanting to explore Champagne Valley in the berg!
Just four hours from Johannesburg and two and a half hours from Durban, you’ll find yourself in one of Africa’s most stunning mountain wilderness areas. Taking its name from the distinctive mountain between Champagne Castle and Cathedral Peak that resembles a priest’s attire, Monk's Cowl is the gateway to the Mlambonja and Mdedelelo Mountain Wilderness areas.
The scenic Champagne Valley with its beautiful grassland, craggy mountains and crisp mountain air is home to Gooderson Monk’s Cowl Golf Resort which is known for its cosy atmosphere and warm log fires in winter. As soon as it snows, many city slickers who have never experienced snow before, head to the central Drakensberg and Monk’s Cowl to experience this spellbinding Winter Wonderland for themselves.
Year round, guests at the resort can enjoy the swimming pool, adventure golf, tennis courts, a 9 hole 18 tee golf course, as well as children’s play area, pool, darts and a number of board games. Within a 15 kilometre radius, there’s horse riding, paintball, trout fishing, river rafting, quad biking and bowling greens as well as a bird of prey display centre and the world renowned Drakensburg Boys Choir.
Whether you’re in a hot air balloon or climbing a majestic mountain, you’ll wonder at the scenery with its rolling hills, diverse rock formations and caves that conceal some of the oldest and most fascinating rock paintings in Southern Africa. These document the rich culture of the San people, stretching back 400 years.
