HIGHGROVE HOUSE COUNTRY LODGE & RESTAURANT - HAZYVIEW

Highgrove House is a tranquil country hideaway at Hazyview in Mpumalanga’s scenic Lowveld. The elegant Colonial-style manor house and guest rooms are set amid groves of trees and an expansive pool-garden where birdlife is abundant. In short, this is a scene set for romance.

Garden suites offer privacy and comfort, with serene valley or garden views. All have sitting areas with log fireplaces, and the Orchard Suites have the added luxury of private saunas and pools in secluded gardens. At Highgrove dining is a sumptuous affair, featuring specialities of the house and superior wines.

After a breakfast feast in the garden gazebo, you need venture no further than the picturesque estate, though not far beyond there’s the allure of Big Five game viewing and many scenic attractions. Golf, horse riding and hot-air ballooning are available nearby, and there are local artists’ studios to visit. Sightseeing by helicopter is yet another option.
