Mondi Forest Trails

Step straight out of our gate and into the beautiful surrounding Mondi Forest. Explore kilometres of quiet gravel roads that meander between the plantation blocks for an easy, scenic walk, run or cycle, or take one of the more adventurous cycling and running trails that wind directly through the trees. With such an extensive network of forest roads and trails right on our doorstep, you can make your outing as gentle or energetic as you like. Access: Directly from the property — simply walk or cycle out of the gate.

Peperé Restaurant

A small French-style café tucked into the beautiful Harrington House grounds on Hilton College Road. It was created by owner Cayleigh Hepburn in memory of her grandfather, and has a deliberately intimate, old-world feel, with garden seating, lawns and a fireplace; occasional Friday-night dinners feature a menu that is only revealed on the day. A truly beautiful spot, right on our doorstep! Contact: 072 395 9924.

Activity · 34 km

Nelson Mandela Capture Site

One of the Midlands’ most significant historical attractions, marking the place where Nelson Mandela was arrested on 5 August 1962. Explore the interactive museum telling the story of Mandela’s life and South Africa’s struggle for freedom, then follow the long “Long Walk to Freedom” pathway to Marco Cianfanelli’s remarkable sculpture - 50 steel columns that gradually align to reveal Mandela’s portrait as you approach. Allow some time to walk around; there is also a café and small shops on site. Contact: 087 093 9419 / 072 351 0967

Dining · 3 km

Haisy Café

A contemporary café inside the Haisley boutique hotel at Hilton Central. It moves from coffee, fresh bakes and brunch into more substantial food such as pastas, lamb chops and steaks, so it works equally well for a morning coffee or a proper meal. Contact : 078 277 2648
