The kings walden experience

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.

Super stay! We had a wonderfully nice stay! From the moment of arrival, we were super kindly helped. Our suitcases were taken out of the car immediately and brought to the apartment. We also immediately received nice tips and extra explanations about the area. With the beautiful view, we thoroughly enjoyed a nice glass of wine with some snacks. We were also allowed to choose a table for dinner in advance. A large group was coming to eat that evening, so the staff advised us to eat a little earlier because otherwise it might take longer. It's very nice that they informed us about this beforehand! The food was really delicious. The room was also beautiful, with a mega large and lovely bathroom. We slept wonderfully then too. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast with yogurt, honey, fresh fruit, coffee of your choice, fresh orange juice and a dish from the menu. Everything was prepared fresh and with great care. Overall, we were helped extremely well, kindly, and hospitably. What nice people! The owner must be really happy with such a great and friendly team. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to come back!

Enjoy and relax in green hills of South Africa. Lovely quiet place to stay. An amazing garden, old times reveals, in the middle of hills with avocados, orange and macadamia trees. You don’t have to leave the property, there is a good restaurant too.
