Description

'Somewhere deep down in most of us there is both a little farmer and tiny hotelier'. The team at Hartford House has fulfilled both ambitions in the creation of their luxurious country lodge on Summerhill Stud, a showcase for some of the finest thoroughbreds in the southern hemisphere including the priceless stallions of the first family in Dubai. Renowned for its exquisite decor and one of KwaZulu-Natal's most famous gardens, Hartford House is an absolute spoil - the hospitality is warm, the food is excellent and the surroundings and accommodation are superb. Regularly rated among the top 5 destinations in South Africa. No Children Under The Age Of 12.

Wellness & Spa: The Hartford vitality centre offers a range of therapies, body treatments, holistic massages and facials as well as a sauna.

Food & Gastronomy: The Menu's a delectable reminder of the region's riches, plucked in the twilight from the kitchen potager.

Historical & Cultural: Hartford’s beauty was discovered by the Moor family some 130 years ago when the land was granted to them by Queen Victoria in the mid 1870s.

Wedding Venues: South Africa's first-choice wedding venue is arguably the land's favourite romantic hideaway. Historic surrounds, great style and unique ambience, has seen Hartford "marry" entire generations of the same family!

A dream come true!

Joy Spence, United Kingdom

04 January 2010

For us this was the ultimate! The food and presentation was amazing with a combination of flavours and wine to die for. The rooms were tastefully decorated with all the added extras one could hope for form a highly professional team. We were made welcome from when we first arrived to when we left, with the staff always willing to go the extra mile. The tour around the Stud farm was my dream come true and I now have 100's of photo's of horses to prove it. An experience we will t ... more

02/03 January 2010 - Our 2nd visit to Hartford House was a delight. We enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful surroundings, particularly having just arrived from busy Durban. We visited the stables and took time 'meeting' the horses. Our Garden Suite was very comfortable with a superb sleigh bed. The welcome drinks and fruit were most appropriate. The Gourmet meal and the talk by Mick Goss were our high-lights. The menu was well balanced and absolutely delicious. The recommended red wine ... more

My stay at Hartford House was one of the most unique vacation experiences in my life. The estate has more than 600 horses and is centered around a beautiful late-Victorian English Colonial home, full of antiques. The large garden and grounds are beautiful and the service was excellent. Hartford is an unbelievable travel bargain. The food and wine list is among the very best in the country. Excellent!
