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.
EXCELLENT Based on 330 reviews Posted on Jorick BiochVerified Beautiful place! We had a fantastic time at Kings Walden. We were warmly welcomed by the owners, who showed exceptional hospitality from the very beginning. The service was outstanding—Walter went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Everything about the service was excellent. The rooms are very spacious, with wonderfully comfortable beds and excellent bathroom facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner; the food was truly excellent. The garden with the swimming pool offers an unparalleled view, and from the property you can make beautiful trips into the surrounding area, especially to the Magoebaskloof. We would have loved to stay longer—an absolute recommendation!Posted on MeganVerified An absolute Gem! 😍🌳 🌿 Kings Walden Garden Manor: A Dream Venue Come True 🌿 From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in warmth and kindness. Every single member of the Kings Walden team went out of their way to make us feel welcome, supported, and truly special. The staff are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met, so present, so helpful, and so genuinely kind.🥹✨️ The owner is an absolute gem of a soul, and immediately made us feel like we were at home (a very magical, Pinterest-worthy home 😍). She brought a calmness and sincerity to the experience that we’ll never forget. ✨ The venue itself? The location is Just... breathtaking. Every single corner, from the lush, enchanted gardens to the elegant interiors, feels like a storybook come to life. And don’t even get me started on that bathroom… I could honestly live in there! 😂🛁 We were so incredibly lucky to elope at Kings Walden, and we’ll forever carry the magic of that place in our hearts. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for playing such a big role in making our day unforgettable.💍🌳 💚 Kings Walden isn’t just a venue, it’s a feeling. And it’s one we’ll never forget.🥹Posted on Hans van MensVerified Great!! Walden is Walhalla! What a beautiful place! The location is wunderful, the view is breathtaking, the people are very friendly and serviceminded. The food is delicious. The swimmingpool is huge and the garden is like Eden. We had a very special trip with James. He showed and told us a lot about the social live in and around the villages nearby. Very interesting! We stayed here for 3 days, but next time we take a week. Thanks a lot Marike, Hannes and the staff.Posted on DesiVerified Groots en mooie ligging Geweldige ligging, ook in de omtrek wat te beleven voor oudere kinderen.

Bovendien in een omgeving die ons onbekend was, maar een echte ontdekking waard met een heerlijk subtropisch klimaat. Een aanraderPosted on nicou621Verified Excellent, well worth the visit We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Kings Walden. From the friendly staff to the amazing views and wonderful garden.
