Fodor's Expert Review Toadbury Hall

Beyers Naude Dr. Extension, Elandsdrift, Gauteng, South Africa

This quaint, thatched country hotel is well located for trips into the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. The 10 elegant rooms are decorated with a neutral palette, and the bathrooms have separate showers. Summertime (October--April) is perfect for a romantic sunset picnic (Wednesday--Sunday) in the rolling gardens, though it might be with a backdrop of a wedding party at the Olde England–style chapel.

PROS

  • attention to detail
  • fresh, tasty cuisine at the two in-house restaurants
  • romantic, countryside setting

CONS

  • difficult to reach without a car
  • no spa facilities
  • not a family destination
