I overnighted at GMCH and it was just wonderful. Yes the room was comfortable and toasty and warm, but even better werethe friendly and helpful staff. Had a drink with a mixer at the bar and later, when I came back after dinner for another, the barman brought out the other half of the mixer that I had not used.... More

Location: situated in the Meander Region of South Africa about 200km or so west of Durban. You would think you are staying in England, perhaps the Cotswolds. Gentle rolling countryside surrounds this lovely hotel, which is more a collection of rustic style homes grouped together. Facilities: just about all you can think of. free internet available in the office to... More

For the price you pay you would think they could have better bathrooms and underfloor heating - yes its lOvely and it has plenty going for it but i think they are charging for a reputation which they shouldnt have anymore :(

What a truly amazing few days at GrannyMouse. This establishment is truly outstanding with every bit of warmth and care felt. The rooms are exquisitely decorated especially the massive bay windows which feels like you can just touch the blue skys. If I could bath in that enviroment every evening I do not think I would ever leave home! With... More

We spent a very relaxed weekend at Granny mouse. There are plenty of lounges to just sit and chill. Loads of up to date magazines to page through while you watch the day stroll by. The wine list is extensive and exceptionally well presented. The wines on offer are good and of very good value for money. There is of... More

This was our second visit to Granny Mouse and again we stayed in the New Wing. With the welcome drink and ultra quick check in done, we were soon unpacked and relaxing in the most beautiful suite overlooking the waterfall and river below, the birdlife is wonderful too. The ambience is fantastic, service always comes with a smile, the food... More

We were invited back for a complimentary night to experience true Granny Mouse hospitality after a previous trip, and I must say the staff pulled out all the stops to ensure we were spoilt! We had champagne on arrival and were shown to our fabulous suite in the new wing. It was luxurious, modern and beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed... More

Granny Mouse is a small (although much larger than it used to be) country house hotel, tucked away in a valley by the river just off the "Midlands Meander" near PieterMaritzburg. Most of the buildings are thatched - our "Deluxe Room" was a cottage on its own with a private balcony overlooking the river, a real fireplace with more than... More
