Nestled deep in the heart of the lush and serene Natal Midlands, you will find the charming Rawdons Hotel, a haven for those who seek the peace and tranquillity of this famous country retreat.
Rawdons Hotel is a welcome haven for tourists, businesses, brides and weekenders offering splendid a la Carte, Table d’Hote and pub menus. The R2.5m worth of renovations find the recently refurbished rooms decorated with a combination of prize antiques and all the mod-cons one expects in the city.
The hotel also offers lawn tennis and quiet walking trails around the property.
A thriving independent brewery delights visitors with a range of naturally brewed ales and lagers of outstanding quality. These brews can be enjoyed in the famous Rawdons pub, “The Boars Head Pub” where, in winter, the fire crackles with warm welcoming hospitality. And for crazy conferences and memorable weddings, there is really no other place to be.
Things to do while in the Midlands
