Description |
(Location: Near Mooi River) In the heart of thoroughbred country, amid the sun-drenched valleys of Giant’s Castle, lies Hartford House. A world of heroic battles, picturesque mountain passes, arts and crafts as well as famous schools and colleges, where the age-old pastimes of trout fishing, tennis and golf are practised in the traditional manner. Hartford, one of the country’s most beautiful houses, was home to the family of the colony of Natal’s last prime minister and is on Summerhill, the nation’s leading racehorse stud farm. Four tranquil Lakeside Suites, all with private pools, are decorated in quiet earthy or rich, bold colours. Luxury bedrooms and suites have underfloor heating. Dine at the table of thoroughbred lore, recount the memories of royal visits and feast on the region’s finest produce and a selection of rare wines. Spring and summer are heralded by a profusion of daffodils, flowering cherries and ancient roses, while the magnificence of autumn and winter are celebrated in perfect days with roaring log fires in the evenings. Witness the preparation of champions, or view the stallions of the Sheikhs of Dubai. Wander through the 7 000-acre conservancy, or cast a line in tranquil estate waters. American Express Top Ten Fine Dining. Diner’s Club Wine List of the Year Award 2003 to 2008, Platinum Award 2008. TGCSA 5-Star Country House.
From R760 to R1 290 per person sharing bed and breakfast. Single plus 30%. Wedding chapel. Conferences. Children 12+. 6 Luxury Rooms, 4 Luxury Suites, 4 Prestige Lakeside Suites.
