A bit about this place

Are you looking for Drakensberg or Midlands Meander accommodation…in a tranquil rural setting where you can relax and regenerate…where you can enjoy the spaciousness of 100 year old architecture…and relish healthy country cooking using only farm-grown ingredients…with sundowners or candlelit diners in front of blazing log fires? Halls Country House offers elegant but reasonably-priced accommodation and fine food to travellers who wish to pander to their souls. Our 5-hectare estate is set in the heart of the Midlands Mist Belt within 45 minutes of the high Drakensberg. With our deep rural setting and spectacular views we meet the needs of those who require seclusion, tranquillity and nothing more intrusive than the sound of a tractor in the middle distance or an owl hooting at night. It is set in a lush, colour-swathed and fragrant garden shaded by grand old trees. Bird life is prolific with 380 species identified. All guest accommodation is accessed directly from the garden via private entrances. We can only accommodate 12 people so every guest will enjoy our warmest, personal attention. For breakfast you can choose between American, English or Continental – or have it all. If you like a big breakfast, tuck into pancakes, hash browns, farm-cured bacon, free-range eggs to order, sausages and fried tomatoes. If not, go for the rich diversity of fresh fruit, locally produced yoghurt, homemade breads, buns and pastries. Don’t forget to sample the variety of jams and preserves we get from various country pantries. In the evening, you can linger over a candlelit diner in front of a log fire in our highly rated à la carte restaurant, where fine wines accompany equally fine food. Country cooking is the theme, but the secret is the freshest, organic ingredients that are either grown on the estate or sourced from adjacent farms. Our 4-Star grading guarantees extraordinary standards of cleanliness, comfortable beds and mattresses, crisply laundered linen and a wide range of high quality comfort and cosmetic accessories.
