"Situated in a beautifully framed mountain valley at the base of the Highmoor Nature Reserve, this is a hotel that focuses on culinary delights and KwaZulu-Natal's rich history. The owners have recently opened the 'Copper Pot Spa' to round off this mountain retreat. Richard and Mouse Poynton deliver a fantastic experience alongside one of the world's most spectacular grassland mountain ranges."
