Granny Mouse Country House

Opulent and luxurious with old-world charm and service

overlooking natural bush and the rapids of the Lions River

Award-winning cuisine and wine, coupled with a host of elegant accommodation options, whilst retaining a “home away from home” atmosphere.

This picturesque, thatched country retreat is situated on the Midlands Meander on an outcrop overlooking natural bush and the rapids of the Lions River, and is ideally situated to explore both the Meander and the surrounding areas. Granny Mouse Country House is in the magnificent Caversham Valley in Balgowan and surrounded by 52 acres of gardens overlooking conservancy areas on the Lion's River. This classic country house hotel with its reputation for excellence is located an hour and a half from Durban and four and a half hours from Johannesburg.

Granny Mouse offers 32 luxurious rooms, located within our magnificent gardens or looking over the meandering Lions River. Each room has been elegantly decorated with warm, inviting décor, modern bathrooms, private balconies and individual fire places for those romantic winter Midlands evenings. Award winning restaurants offer a range of menu items from relaxed Bistro though to Fine Dining in the Eaves restaurant. Offering two restaurants, a glorious wine cellar, an on-site spa, wedding chapel and a large conference and wedding venue, swimming pool and luscious gardens, you’ll fall in love with Granny Mouse.

For those wishing to explore the Midlands Meander, a range of activities are located nearby or can be arranged. With more than 200 bird species and a range of local wildlife wondering the grounds and the willow-lined common located alongside the Lions River, relaxing with nature is easily achievable, and whether you wish to take a leisurely stroll towards the waterfall or to rejuvenate your body at the Spa, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa offers something for everyone. No getaway is truly complete without a rejuvenating pamper session. The on-site Granny Mouse Spa set in the lush gardens offers a host of treatments for guests, including a hydro-bath, massages, manicures, pedicures, facials and speciality treatments for expecting mums.
