Property info

Only an hour from Joburg and you’re stepping into a bygone era. The historical manor house and eight suites exude that English old-world charm, but with today’s luxury and comfort. You can’t help feeling like the lord and lady of the manor. Fancy a game of croquet or lawn tennis anyone?
