King's Grant Country Retreat was originally built a mission station by German Trappist Monks but has now been tastefully restored and converted into a three star guest lodge with the luxuries of today's living, whilst retaining its authentic charm.
The establishment offers individually decorated guest rooms, a country-style restaurant for lunches and dinners as well as a number of other exclusive venues for weddings, functions, conferences and a variety of activities. All guest rooms have en-suite bathrooms, TV with DSTV Bouquet, tea / coffee trays, heaters and fans and private patios. Hairdryers and ironing boards are available from reception.
Three of the units also offer self catering facilities and have braai (barbecue) places. There is also a two bedroom self catering cottage situated 500m up the road from the main complex. In keeping with life in the country, guests are welcomed into their rooms with flowers freshly picked from the extensive gardens.
On-site activities include fishing, walks, canoeing, excellent bird watching (over 200 species recorded due to the wide range of habitats), endless opportunities for photography lovers, picnic baskets, sundowners. Fine wine and dining can be enjoyed in the restaurant which focuses on home grown herbs, colour and farm-fresh ingredients. The St Isisdor Mill Museum with it's magnificent yellowwood pillars and Baltic pine floors is also a treat to explore. Completed in 1900 and still housing all the original machinery and tools including the blacksmith's workshop, it is one of the few workable mills left in South Africa. |
