Hartley Manor was built in 2009 as a semi-retirement project for Nick and Lyn Hartley, offering a tranquil weekend getaway for city folks and convenient accommodation for the wedding venues in the Muldersdrift area. Like many businesses and families, the guest house faced turbulent times during the pandemic. Now under the management of the next generation, we are dedicated to enhancing our guests' experiences and ensuring their stay is memorable.
