Three-night Christmas Special 2026

Three nights of festivities: 24-27 December

This year, unwrap the gift of doing absolutely nothing. Spend Christmas with us in the heart of the KZN Midlands — three nights where every meal, every festivity and every thoughtful touch is taken care of, so you can simply be together. From a welcome mulled wine on Christmas Eve to lamb on the spit on Boxing Day, we've planned it all. All you bring is your family.

Christmas Eve - Arrive to welcome drinks, with festive treats and a little gift waiting in your room. A three-course dinner is followed by a bonfire under the stars and a hot-chocolate bar with all the trimmings.

Christmas Day - A full country breakfast buffet to start, then the moment the day is built around: our Grand Christmas Lunch. In between, there's the pool, and lawn games, before a relaxed harvest-table supper and a Christmas quiz to round things off.

Boxing Day - A leisurely brunch with a smoothie station, a lamb-on-the-spit braai buffet, and live Zulu dancing to see out the celebrations.

The Grand Christmas Lunch

Our Christmas Day Lunch is a generous festive buffet, from glazed gammon and roast turkey to sirloin with horseradish and a spread of salads and sides, finished with homemade Christmas puddings, mince pies, trifle and a dessert pairing with a glass of sparkling wine.
