Rawdons Hotel & Estate

Rawdons Hotel is situated in the heart of the beautiful KwaZulu Natal midlands meander. A family run hotel for the past 40 years - set on a stunning 240ha estate is a great place to unwind. We have a superb Micro Brewery on the property brewing some great ales and lagers. The pub is more English than most English hotels. The rooms have recently been upgraded and well appointed and an boardwalk alongside the main dam leads to various birding, cycling and walking trails. We look forward to welcoming you to our piece of heaven. And if having so many repeat guests over the years isn't testimony to our offerings, then come and see for yourself.

Quirky old hotel set in picturesque grounds facing two lakes

We stayed for two nights to celebrate a birthday. We loved the ambience, and the staff were outstanding. The pub is warm and cosy, and the bar staff attentive. Weather was warm and sunny, and we enjoyed walking around the grounds. Typical pub grub and well presented and is tasty. We will definitely return

Disappointing Stay for a 4 star resort

Reviewed By powelldl

Disappointing room, very few TV channels, no sport channels, Advertised as Four star, I expected better and it was not cheap! . Sadly I would not recommend Thatchings to my friends and family. Service at Breakfast was good, and food was fine, but found Dinning room to be dated.

Set in expansive grounds, overlooking tall trees and a dam, FarSide oozes old-world graciousness and charm, combined with a certain quirkiness of spirit that is evident in the name alone. The accommodation is luxuriously comfortable, and the bedroom fittings include an inviting ball-and-claw bath for that extra touch of indulgence. A leisurely breakfast, warmly prepared and served with a smile, adds the B to the B that makes the FarSide such a welcoming pleasure for a short or lingering stay on the way to or from the coast.

Great place just off the N3

Reviewed By hiltontait

Excellent stopover just off the beaten track. Friendly hosts being Graham who owns it, and Ryan his son who runs the place. Great accomodation. It's a small establishment with only a few rooms. We were in room 2 with an in room bath and separate shower and toilet. Lovely comfortable bed and good quality linen and bath towels. Loved the honesty bar and common area downstairs, plus the friendly Jack Russel. Amos cooked a great breakfast and even although there was load shedding there was no disruption to service. Only negative being there weren't any good restaurants in the vicinity for dinner unless you drove all the way back to Nottingham Road.

We will definitely be back! The good: Amazing views Cute cottages Clean Quiet Relaxing Trails The sound of the running river below. The rusks, milk, coffee and tea freely available There is a TV with dstv, a wood fireplace, a weber braai, and an umbrella on the deck; Excellent hosts and hospitality Improvements: Fans and spray would help with the bugs and many flies (we were in the Chelsea unit), they seemed to be attracted to the chandeliers and decor in the lounge & bedroom; A warning when booking about the state of the road leading to the units when it rains would be appreciated. Driving through thick mud in a normal car is quite stressful, even from Notties side. Thanks to Stanley for his great attitude and hospitality.

Reviewed By LourensSteyl

We stayed in a very nice house with 4 rooms, each with its own bathroom. The living area is also very nice and open. There is also a nice stoep with a braai. The dam is huge but unfortunately not good for trout fishing. We only caught a couple of bass and never really saw any signs of trout. Overall a very nice place to stay.
