Description

Flycatcher Castle is situated on the outskirts of Graskop towards God''s Window in Mpumalanga. The Castle, set in the style of a 17th century Italian castle, opened to the public at the end of 2007 and is a fairytale experience for all visitors and guests alike, be it for lunch, tea, a castle tour or a stay over in the luxurious rooms. The Castle has been a dream turned into reality in just three years. Having been conceptualized in the form of a sculpture by part owner Mannie 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. An example of this personal touch includes the two spectacular feature Art Deco windows sourced from the old Afrox building in downtown Johannesburg.

Company description

Currently there are five suites which are all individually decorated in styles of end of the 19th century composer¿s such as Strauss in frivolous pink, Gounod in striking Art Deco and Mozart in red velvet and gilded wallpaper. Other unique aspects of the rooms include breath taking views as well a magnificent bath set in an open plan style, ideal for couples wanting a romantic and enchanted experience. The Mozart is the most spacious and situated away from the four luxury suites. It is purely grand and ideal for the honeymoon couple and the celebration of a dreamy occasion. The large round bathroom (in the middle tower) boasts a couple-sized bath with a fine view over the wetland. Other significantly royal features are a gigantic, but cosy antique bed, various other pieces of glorious antique furniture, gilt wallpaper, ornate frames and red velvet curtains. Flycatcher Castle is set in beautifully manicured gardens and the soon to be completed ¿secret garden¿ will add significantly to this unique experience. There is also a 6th ¿teddy bear¿ bedroom situated at the top of the ¿staircase to heaven¿ providing a wonderful experience for children and families. Other features of the Castle include a Chapel which can be used for weddings and small intimate gatherings and functions, as well as an art gallery showcasing a variety of bronzed sculptures. Michael Nuechtern who part owns the castle with Connoway, is also the Executive Chef in their Der Rosenkavalier restaurant, bringing fine dining cuisine to perfectly complete this magical experience.
