Overview

Set amid indigenous forests and surrounded by 64 ha of avocado, banana, litchi and olive trees, Highgrove House is an exclusive luxury retreat that has been carefully restored to its colonial splendour.

Eight spacious suites in the grounds have sweeping views across the valley. The large swimming pool is surrounded by tropical gardens with lovely views. Breakfasts are served al fresco under the Victorian gazebo in the garden. The cuisine at Highgrove is highly rated with a four course fine dining menu included in your stay. It also has an exceptional wine cellar as well.

Activities include horse riding, walking, bird watching, hot air ballooning, a day in the Kruger Park, or exploring the scenic wonders of the region. TGCSA 5 star Country House.

The Orchard Spa offers spacious treatment rooms and views over the valley coupled with the professional service from their staff. It’s now one of the best spas in the region.
