~ Near Giant's Castle ~ Kwazulu-Natal ~ South Africa ~

The superbly restored Hartford House is one of the country's finest lodges. This is a precious world of sun-drenched valleys, galloping horses, golden daffodils and cajoling birds - a veritable source of inspiration for the area's art and craft studios. The historic homestead and Thoroughbred stud farm lie near the majestic Giant's Castle in the Drakensberg foothills. Here, the emphasis is on refinement and comfort. The wines are rare, the menu a delectable reminder of the region's bounty, and the ambiance resplendent with hurricane lamps and candles rekindling a romantic Colonial past. Steeped in history, the walls of this gracious homestead testify to famous battles and treaties, pioneers, and the legacy of Champion racehorses and the Great Stallions of the Rulers of Dubai.

This destination of enchanting gardens, rippling waters, rising trout, lingering dinners, fireside reminiscing and heavenly rest was rated Top Two Luxury Lodges in the AA Awards at Indaba 2000, Top Two Fine Dining Restaurants (Wine magazine) and Category Wine List Winner (Diners Club).
