Calderwood Hall Country House - Connect South Africa

Connect South Africa presents: Calderwood Hall Country House

Come and soothe away the tensions, as you relax in the calm ambience of Calderwood Hall, a four star Edwardian Country House nestled in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Epitomising timeless elegance, the manor house has five metre high steel pressed ceilings, large fire places, bay windows and an abundance of beautiful antique and unusual furniture. An impressive wooden staircase takes centre stage in the entrance hall which also boasts a plethora of stained-glass feature windows. Calderwood Hall is surrounded by dams, forests and beautiful gardens with a swimming pool, gazebo, ornamental fountain and ancient oak trees.

Get away to the country... Calderwood Hall is perfect for that smaller, less formal business break away, strategic session or meeting. It’s a place that will encourage those creative juices to flow, a place where you will achieve the business objectives you set for your meeting, but it’s also a place that offers a little more. You’ll come away feeling that you did ‘get away to the country’ even if it was just for a little while!

The layout of the country house allows for break- away areas, so that you can form smaller groups for less formal discussions and brainstorming sessions. Our grounds are the perfect setting for any outdoor activities you may want to include as part of your conference. The centre opens up onto a beautiful tranquil garden which includes a water feature comprising of a large Koi Pond and fountain framed by a beautiful old willow tree. Manicured lawns surround the pool area making it welcoming to delegates, encouraging them to enjoy the country feel that is Calderwood!

Calderwood Hall is a full service conferencing centre allowing delegates to be accommodated in both the manor house and in the garden suites. The venue is air conditioned for your comfort. The country house offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and teas with menus which can be customised to your particular requirements. Delegates can look forward to tasty food, beautifully presented and a quiet, no fuss, management style.

We can host between 15 and 63 delegates and can set out the conference venue according to your needs, whether its cinema style, schoolroom or U shape. The venue is airconditioned for your comfort.

The Conference Centre can also be used for corporate functions and is outstanding for entertaining clients, suppliers and staff. It can accommodate up to 150 guests depending on the setting style upon which you decide (but not all guests would be able to be accommodated at Calderwood.)

The Manor House has five oversized luxury en-suite bedrooms, all exquisitely themed and guests to enjoy the unique character of each. There are the Victorian suite, the Chinese suite, the Egyptian suite, the Indian suite and the Bridal suite (the ultimate in romantic relaxation).

The country house is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a gazebo and ornamental fountain, dams and forests. Set in the gardens are a further 16 garden suites and our quaint thatched Rondavel is situated along side the Manor House and is wheel chair friendly.. These may be more suitable for larger groups or family getaways, being located a little further from the Manor House.
