Calderwood Hall Guest House

 
 

Description

Come and soothe away the tensions, as you relax in the calm ambience of Calderwood Hall, a three star Edwardian Guest House nestled in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Epitomizing timeless elegance, the manor house has five metre high steel pressed ceilings, large fire places, bay windows and an abundance of beautiful antique and unusual furniture. An impressive wooden staircase takes centre stage in the entrance hall which also boasts a plethora of stained-glass feature windows. Calderwood Hall is surrounded by dams, forests and beautiful gardens with a swimming pool, gazebo, ornamental fountain and ancient oak trees.

Every meal feels like an occasion, when served in the Calderwood Hall dining room. It is a spacious, elegant room with five metre high steel pressed ceilings, built in dresser, huge fireplace, exquisite mural, yellowwood floors and large sash windows which overlook the gardens.

The drawing room is tastefully decorated and you can soothe away tensions as you relax in the calm ambience or enjoy a crackling log fire on winter days.

The Manor House has five oversized luxury en-suite bedrooms, all exquisitely themed and guests to enjoy the unique character of each. There is the Victorian suite, the Chinese suite, the Egyptian suite, the Indian suite and the Bridal suite, the ultimate in romantic relaxation.

The Guest House is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a gazebo and ornamental fountain, dams and forests. Set in the gardens are a further 21 garden suites including our quaint thatched rondavel which is wheel chair friendly. These may be more suitable for larger groups or family getaways, being located a little further from the Manor House.

The inviting Jardine Function Centre is designed as both a wedding venue and a conference centre. It is ideal for special occasions with its large draped chandeliered function room and thatched stained glass chapel. The wedding venue opens up on one side so that guests can look out onto the breathtaking surrounds. The conference centre allows for strategic ‘bosberade', team building sessions and functions as well as day conferences. The venue is air conditioned for your comfort. You can look forward to tasty food, beautifully presented and a quiet, no fuss, management style.

The Guest House has Midmar Dam, Howick Falls, fishing, trails, walks, golfing, and paragliding nearby.

Something to remember forever
Yvette Sirchia, South Africa
13 January 2009
Wow! did I just get the best feedback from my parents!!! They were at a loss for words. They said the food was out of this world, the service was exemplary, their room was described as something out of a fairytale etc etc etc. You have now got a long list of new guests. I cannot thank you and the staff more for making it as romantic and memorable as I ever could have hoped for. Their stay there is something they will remember forever…I think the only negative remark about the st ... more

Stay at Calderwood was fantastic. Food, accommodation, etc was great, and the service beyond compare. The only limitation was proximity to Midlands Meander et al (some 50km away from such points of interest) so not the ideal place if the meander is of great importance for the stay. Otherwise, well worth a stay. The service and follow-up by "SAFARINOW" certainly a factor in having chosen this location, and will no doubt be used for futures forays into the midlands, etc.
