Lali's Guest House & Tea Garden

About Lali's Guest House & Tea Garden

Lali's Guest House and Tea Garden, set in a quiet residential area in Harrismith, is a beautiful Victorian house. Built in the early 1940's, with original oregan pine floors and real grandma's charm, it was later on used as a Missionary house for the pastor of the local Dutch Reformed Church.

Situated at the foot of Platberg in the peaceful town of Harrismith, we offer a safe, peaceful and luxurious midway stop between Johannesburg and Durban. Your hosts, mother and daughter team Ria and Riane' van Dyk, will welcome you to their six bedroom, disabled friendly guest house.

ACCOMMODATION

All rooms are elegantly furnished and decorated to enhance the ambiance of the house. Each room has its own en-suite bathroom. Tea, coffee, rusks, hairdryers, electric blankets and heaters are provided in every room. TV-channels include M-Net, SABC 1 & 2, E-Tv, sport and movie channels. Three of the rooms open onto our delightful garden, where guests can enjoy something mouth watering and refreshing from our kitchen.
