Special place with very nice hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 days we stayed at Glenn & Shannon's Orchard Manor within the very pittoresque hillside lanscape and beautiful views and its "farmhouse" character. Thanks Glenn for the advice for trips in the area and to both of you to make our stay so welcoming! We keep you and this beautiful space in our memories of our unforgettable ZA trip. Wishing you the very best. Dieter & Susie, Switzerland

Lovely home, fabulous location
Everything was clean and well kept. The beds were comfortable and the home was well supplied for our needs. The location was perfect - quiet and peaceful but close to lots of hiking and other things to see and do. I would absolutely recommend it.

About the host
Hosted by Shannon
"The Little Berg, where Dragon Peaks is situated, is a land of singing streams and whispering forests, a land where liquid bird calls greet the dawn, and where the yelping cry of the Jackal Buzzard breaks the noonday silence, where the diapason organ notes of the thunder roll amongst the crags, and where the winds sing their immemorial song amongst the tall trees of the forest." - 'Barrier of Spears' 1973.
This is where we are blessed to live. Dragon Peaks has been the home of the Tungay family for four generations, since its purchase by Ron and Gwen Tungay in 1955. My wife and I took over the Manor House, that was once my grandparents' home, and have converted its two large wings into self-catering units.
In our mind, Champagne Valley is one of the most majestic places on earth. Its place in the Central Drakensberg is a must-see for any visitor to South Africa. This all said, Shannon and I love to travel and explore so we are often away from home.
