Wedding Venue

Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf and Spa Resort offers the perfect setting to get married. The theatre can be converted into a charming chapel on top of the grand plateau, which has a view of the Highlands' nature reserve. Alternatively, the grand reception area is modeled on the original church in Kloppenheim near Frankfurt in Germany. The vaulted ceilings, views, and steps leading to the reception create an awesome place to exchange vows.

Restaurant and Pub

Guests can enjoy the restaurant and pub, which features a log fireplace in the winter. Gooderson Leisure offers guests the choice to experience the very best of the berg.

“Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort, nestled in Champagne Valley, seems particularly well-suited to families; the self-catering chalets and various on-site activities create a relaxed atmosphere. The golf course and wellness centre are definite highlights. From what I gather, it's a solid base for exploring the hiking trails and natural beauty of the Drakensberg.”
