About Us

Tucked away in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, Old Rearsby is more than just a getaway—it’s an experience of pure enchantment. Set on a historic 100-year-old farm, our guest lodge offers five beautifully appointed cottages, each with its own charm and character. Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family escape, or a peaceful refuge in nature, Old Rearsby welcomes you with open arms.

Neighboring the prestigious Hartford House, home to world-renowned horses and breathtaking landscapes, our farm is a sanctuary where nature and tranquility reign supreme. Wake up to the sight of grazing horses, roaming Nguni cattle, and the call of Guinea Fowl. Take a deep breath of crisp Midlands air and let the beauty of the countryside soothe your soul.

Inside, our cottages offer the perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. Plush beds, soft duvets, and crisp linens invite you to unwind, while private entrances and en-suite bathrooms ensure a peaceful retreat. As the evening chill sets in, curl up by the fireplace in your cozy lounge, or prepare a meal in your fully equipped kitchenette.

At Old Rearsby, life slows down, allowing you to reconnect with nature and the simple joys of country living. Watch the sun dip behind Giant’s Castle, painting the sky in hues of gold and crimson—an unforgettable sight that will stay with you long after you leave.

Escape the ordinary and embrace the magic of Old Rearsby. We can’t wait to welcome you.
