Rhodes House

Three principal rooms are available The Milner Hall, The Beit Room and The Jameson Room named after three of the original Trustees: Lord Milner, Alfred Beit and Sir Leander Starr Jameson. In addition, there is a grand, circular, domed entrance-hall known as the rotunda, which opens into the Parkin Vestibule — superb for welcomes and aperitifs. From here, you walk through to an oak-panelled gallery, reminiscent of a Cape Dutch stoep — a covered verandah.

Step outside and you’ll find yourself within the beautifully maintained, typically English gardens, offering green lawns, gravel pathways and herbaceous borders. This secluded walled garden, which catches the sun from early morning to late evening, is perfect for photographic shoots and garden parties, and the west lawn is large enough for a marquee.
