Now take a deep breath and you will start to feel the tranquility in abundance.

tHE history of our iconic tree
Elsie Dickson, a young bride, arrived to Kings Walden in the 1930s. Elsie was the drive and heart behind the beautiful Kings Walden gardens we come to love today. She designed the initial garden on three levels, ‘like a ship sailing into the Lowveld’. Many years later, on the night Elsie died, lightning struck the enormous blue gum tree at the magnificent viewpoint. It is still standing today, a symbol of Kings Walden’s romantic spirit.

JAB24052024-06-07Verified Beautifully located hotel with great views The hotel is beautifully situated, from the terrace you have a fantastic view of the Drakensberg Mountains. Great to enjoy a drink or a delicious breakfast in the garden with such a view. Ludwig did everything he could to make us happy, nothing was too much for him. We really felt like guests. joannezondag2024-05-06Verified Beautiful views, great accommodation and lovely meal. Marike and Hannes Bezuidenhout are the new owners of Kings Walden Garden Manor. One of the best changes is the menu. The new chef served such a beautiful dinner on the first night, we booked our dinner for the second night at Kings Walden as well. We enjoyed the beautiful view and gardens. Our room en suite was very spacious and the beds are good. Gerdi2024-01-18Verified Hidden Gem in Tzaneen with breathtaking views Woooow. That was the first thing I could say when we arrived at the Kings Waldon. What an amazing, absolutely breathtaking view. And best is you can have a drink or diner while enjoying these views. Spacious , beautifull decorated rooms, huge garden with swimming pool. We also had a nice diner & breakfast there and staff always very friendly. And last but not least: sincere kindness. We forgot the teddy bear of our youngest son, and the owner took care of it that it was returned to us. Wow again. :-) If you are in the neighbourhood, don't doubt to stay here in this Tzaneen paradise! Christiaan albe... W2023-11-13Verified Great stay! We had our marriage anniversary and it was wonderful. Just the right amount of luxury we liked. Very quiet and laid back without being stiff. Food was great! Bed could use stiffer matrass, but that is my personal taste. Punk R2023-11-10Verified Lovely Beautiful restored home, exceptional view, very nice gardens en swimming pool, but the weather was too cold to swim. Very friendly staff. Nice diner en breakfast. We will come back when we are in the neighbourhood. Remco J2023-10-31Verified Definitely worth a visit! You feel like you're in a bygone era here. A super beautiful mansion with lots of glass, a great view and accompanying garden. Everything nicely balanced. And it will become even more beautiful in the near future! Super friendly staff and owners. A pleasure to spend the night here. Nice rooms, a warm fireplace in your room and a good shower. In short, it's wonderful to be here. Annemie M2023-10-31Verified Beautiful place to stay, nice flowergarden and good food Our first night in South Africa, we were welcomed in a very friendly way. A big and nice room, bathroom with shower and bath. Beautiful well maintained garden. Cosy restaurant with excellent food. Breakfast is very nice, you can choose out of more than 'eggs and bacon'. Lovely area, unfortunately we were only here for one night. We were on our honeymoon and the welcomed us with rose petals on the bed, very romantic 😍
