We've proudly represented Hartford House since 1994. Here is a nostalgic look at their entry from our 2017 Printed Guide Book.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL - MOOI RIVER
"In the heart of South Africa's champion racehorse stud, amid the sundrenched valleys of Giant's Castle, lies Hartford House, a world of heroic battles, picturesque mountain passes, arts and crafts and famous schools and colleges. One of the country's most beautiful properties, Hartford and its spectacular gardens were home to the colony of Natal's last prime minister. Accommodation is offered in various rooms and suites, luxuriously and elegantly designed with romantic replaces or under oor heating. Choose from earthy Lakeside Suites, Main House Suites named for the families that have owned Hartford House over the years, the Garden and Pool Suites overlooking the lush gardens, and the Verandah Suites, originally magni cent stables built by Italians in the 1930/40s linked by a common verandah in front and beautiful gardens out back. Dine at the table of thoroughbred lore, recall the memories of royal visits and feast on the region's finest produce. Inspired culinary creations incorporating the freshest in-season and local produce are served in the timeless dining room, or in the candlelit splendour of the colonial verandah. Spring and summer are heralded by daffodils, flowering cherries and ancient roses. Autumn and winter are celebrated in perfectly crisp days and roaring log fires. Witness the birth of racehorse champions, wander through the 3 000-acre conservancy, or cast a line in tranquil waters. Hartford Wellness Centre offers a range of therapies, body treatments and holistic massages. House and Leisure/Visa's Best S.A. Restaurant. Diner's Diamond wine list. Eat Out Top Twenty Restaurant. Children 12+ | Wi-Fi hotspot | Pool | Tennis"
