Come and soothe away the tensions, as you relax in the calm ambience of Calderwood Hall, a three star Edwardian Guest House nestled in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Epitomising timeless elegance, the manor house has five metre high steel pressed ceilings, large fire places, bay windows and an abundance of beautiful antique and unusual furniture. An impressive wooden staircase takes centre stage in the entrance hall which also boasts a plethora of stained-glass feature windows.

Every meal feels like an occasion, when served in the Calderwood Hall dining room. It is a spacious, elegant room with five metre high steel pressed ceilings, built in dresser, huge fireplace, exquisite mural, yellowwood floors and large sash windows which overlook the gardens.

The drawing room is tastefully decorated and you can soothe away tensions as you relax in the calm ambience or enjoy a crackling log fire on winter days.

The Manor House has five oversized luxury en-suite bedrooms, all exquisitely themed and guests to enjoy the unique character of each. There are the Victorian suite, the Chinese suite, the Egyptian suite, the Indian suite and the Bridal suite (the ultimate in romantic relaxation).

The Guest House is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a gazebo and ornamental fountain, dams and forests. Set in the gardens are a further 21 garden suites. These may be more suitable for larger groups or family getaways, being located a little further from the Manor House.

The inviting Jardine Function Centre is designed as both a wedding venue and a conference centre. It is ideal for special occasions with its large draped chandeliered function room and thatched stained glass chapel. The wedding venue opens up on one side so that guests can look out onto the breathtaking surrounds. The conference centre allows for strategic ‘bosberade', team building sessions and functions as well as day conferences. The venue is air conditioned for your comfort. You can look forward to tasty food, beautifully presented and a quiet, no fuss, management style.
