Flycatcher Castle is one of the highly recommended Graskop guest houses and provides accommodation in 6 guest rooms for tourists visiting the Panorama Route region.
About Flycatcher Castle
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 is a fairytale experience for all visitors and guests alike, be it for lunch, tea, castle tour or a stay over in the luxurious suites.
The Castle has been a dream turned to reality in just three years. Having been conceptualized in the form of a sculpture by part owner Manie 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.
accommodation
There are six suites which are all individually decorated in styles of end of the 19th century composers such as Strauss in frivolous pink, Gounod in striking Art Deco and Mozart in red velvet and gilded wallpaper.
Other unique aspects of the suites include lovely views as well a magnificent bath set in an open plan style, ideal for couples wanting a romantic and enchanted experience. A sixth suite, The Ruby Royal, is ideal for guests who dare to have a completely different and exciting experience in an Arabian setting.
The bedroom tower has a four meter high mirrored ceiling, the indoor solar heated plunge pool is framed by Persian carpets and embellished with a chandelier laden with "rubies". The throne chamber (toilet) boasts a tiara, mirrors, "ruby" jewels and optical fiber lights (a place where there can be no secrets!).
A spacious shower overlooking the plunge pool and indoor garden promises sheer enjoyment (please note that the Ruby Royal has no bath). Food and drinks from the kitchen can be served through a service hatch ... so there is no need to go anywhere, but "hide" and "play" in the Ruby Royal.
Pets
Pets are welcome with prior arrangement only. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. The castle is situated opposite Fairyland, a nature conservation area the includes the Jock of the Bushveld walking trail, which is great for dogs, starting at the Southern side of town. Alternatively, you can walk directly from the castle into the reserve and explore a myriad of river streams, strange rock formations and a very rich flora.
Conferences
The auditorium can seat up to 35 people. There is a digital overhead projector, a large collapsible movie screen (3,4 x 2,5 metres), a good sound system, three spotlights together with other lighting.
Mpumalanga Weddings
The Castle has a Chapel / Auditorium which can be used for weddings, concerts, small intimate gatherings and functions, as well as an art gallery showcasing a variety of bronzed sculptures. A cosy spa was opened recently and guests can enjoy the Jacuzzi, a massage or an ozone sauna. Four course dinners are served in Der Rosenkavalier Restaurant, bringing fine dining cuisine to perfectly complete this magical experience.

Ruby Royal
The Ruby Royal is ideal for guests who dare to have a completely different and exciting experience in an Arabian setting.

The throne chamber (toilet) boasts a tiara, mirrors, ‘ruby’ jewels and optical fibre lights (a place where there can be no secrets). A spacious shower overlooking the plunge pool (please note that the Ruby Royal has no bath). The indoor plunge pool is heated to a playful temperature of 35 degrees Celcius.

Rezne, Edward, Willem and Mercia you guys were incredible. It was such an enriching and spectacular experience. Everything was excellent from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed our stay so much that we didn't want to leave. Everything was perfect and it was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had and that's all thanks to the Flycatcher team.
