(1388)

Welcome to a Sanctuary of Serenity, Wellness & Excellence! Situated in the heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, in the foothills of the Drakensburg mountains, Brahman Hills has undergone an extensive renovation since its days as the old Windmills Hotel. The new Brahman Hills team has grown and developed at the same time as the property through a complete facelift in 2015, to create a country home away from home that promises real experiences, with real people in the tranquil surroundings. Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Midlands, yet just a stone’s throw away from the N3 Highway, Brahman Hills is easily accessible and central to the famous Midlands Meander. And with either hotel or self-catering accommodation available, together with a range of noteworthy facilities, including a restaurant, coffee bar, cellar and underground lounge/bar, as well as a variety of eventing venues seating up to 400 people, Brahman Hills is now a destination of choice for those looking for the perfect wedding and conference venue or idyllic country escape. We are proud to be one of only two official Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Partner Gardens in South Africa and honored to have been named Overseas Regional Winner in the 2023 RHS Partner Garden of the Year competition. Our botanical wonderland is a sensory delight, featuring incredible sculptures by up-and-coming artists from South Africa. Would you like to explore our majestic gardens for the day? Please note the following day visitor entry details:
• R90 per person entry fee
• Free for children under 16 years
Upon arrival, you'll receive a ticket at the main gate. Please pay the entry fee at reception before proceeding. You can offset this fee at one of our two restaurants; simply inform your waiter, and they will deduct the entry fee amount from your bill.

Every tile tells a story. 🤍

The Wellness Sanctuary at Brahman Hills is taking shape, and the craftsmanship is something to behold!

A hand-laid floor mosaic will greet you at the entrance, while a delicate Arum Lily water feature offers a glimpse of what’s to come.

Nothing here is accidental. Every detail is thoughtfully considered with one purpose: to ensure that you leave feeling rested, restored and renewed.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗡! 🙌

And isn't it just spectacular?

It's hard to believe that less than a year ago, we were breaking ground. To say we're excited would be an understatement!

The scale of what's taking shape beneath the roof of our 300m² underground botanical wonderland is simply unbelievable!

In fact, did you know that over 22,000 plants, excluding the orchids, will call this extraordinary space home?

And to think, this is just ONE part of our magnificent 22-hectare Serenity Garden!

But what excites us most? Knowing that soon, you'll be able to wander through our sanctuary of serenity, wellness and excellence, discover its beauty and experience the magic for yourself.

We can't wait to welcome you!

It’s World Pasta Day, so naturally we’re talking favourites. 🍝​
​
Linguine, penne, tagliatelle, or gnocchi. Twirled around a fork, smothered in sauce or sprinkled with Parmesan, there’s something about pasta that makes everything feel a little better.​ Especially when enjoyed with a good glass of wine.​

​Our favourite? Well, that feels a little like choosing a favourite child.​
​
Which pasta gets your vote? Tell us below.​

Another week, another little piece of magic coming to life at Brahman Hills!

This week marked an exciting milestone as we raised the roof on our 300m² underground botanical wonderland, nestled within our 22-hectare Serenity Garden.

And isn’t it majestic?

While the wonderland itself will be tucked away underground, its roof will allow natural light to filter through, creating a beautiful connection between the world above and the botanical beauty below.

Just imagine that!

It’s all part of our vision to create a sanctuary of serenity, wellness and excellence. A place where every pathway leads to discovery, every corner holds a little wonder, every experience is worth savouring and every moment has the potential to become a treasured memory.

And the best part? There’s still so much more to come.

Keep following as we bring this extraordinary vision to life.

Our original vision for a 300m² underground orchid house has grown into something far bigger than we imagined—and the progress is remarkable.

The steel structures for the upper and lower walkways are complete, and concrete aggregate paths are taking shape. Trees and plants are being added to the wall-mounted planters, while the fabric growing medium that will support the living walls is nearly finished. Soon, plants will grow vertically all around the walkways, creating a botanical wonderland beneath the earth.

It’s incredible to watch this vision become a reality. We’re still deciding what to call it, but we’ll share the name when it’s ready.

With every walkway completed and every tree planted, we’re one step closer to welcoming you inside.

We don't have traditional 'bosses'.

We have leaders. And Orrin, our CEO, is a leader of leaders.

Passionate, multi-talented and courageous, he leads from the front.

Whether he’s taking on an ultra marathon or overseeing the building of the mammoth 22-hectare Serenity Garden, Orrin has a way of stepping into challenges most of us would think twice about and showing the people around him what’s possible.

Happy Boss’s Day, Orrin.
