Welcome to Halliwell Country Inn

Country Living since 1838

“Think back to around 1837, 10 years after the slaying of Shaka, the founder of the Zulu nation by his half brother Dingane, now chieftain of the Zulus. Fast forward nearly 185 years and this once fortified homestead now commands a space of pure relaxation and indulgence. An open space, with commanding views of the Karkloof Valley with wide, open botanical gardens and a haven of calm and relaxation”

Wedding Venue

Halliwell Country Inn, with it’s original homestead dating back to the 1830’s, was originally a fortified wagon stop. Our chapel was originally a “Smithy” where wagons were repaired and horses shod.

Today we reflect a picturesque country hotel set on 250 acres of open lawns and incredible views of the Karkloof Valley. Our neighbours, the Halliwell Rest Home for Horses, ensure a constant view of these beautiful animals enjoying the beautiful pastures and fresh air on offer.
