Accommodation

Mountain View Country Inn

On the face of it the Inn looks like your normal average little country hotel. However, looks can be deceiving. In fact this little Inn is rather slightly abnormal.

Yes, the rooms are on-suite, clean and comfortable and it has the usual guest amenities but each room has it’s own personality. All rooms have been lovingly decorated, each with it’s own theme and a warm homely feeling. Most of the rooms have beautiful antique furniture.

It also has a breakfast room, serving the full Continental spread as well as an English breakfast. However, it is rather abnormal to find a breakfast room decorated with unique hand made clowns and rag dolls as well as other hand made articles.

Just like other hotels, the Restaurant has an A la Carte menu with a choice of delicious meals but it also serves as an art gallery with art from various local artists. In case you have not noticed, Lady Grey has many artists.

Even the Pub is not so very normal. It is called the Sportsmans Arms Pub and is decorated accordingly with one wall dedicated to John-Michael Tawse, the greatest sportsman of the area. However, what makes the pub unusual is the friendly staff and the interesting characters you are bound to find in the pub. Lady Grey has a number of them. They are not really drunkards, in fact, some of them do not even drink alcohol. Meeting one of these characters could make your stay unforgettable. The staff often organize a party or a bring-and-braai on the spur of the moment. Visitors often join and those who do not have meat just order some from the kitchen. The regular Theme Parties are also great fun.

Even the Conference Room is slightly unusual. Originally it served as a storage area for Liquor but it was recently renovated to become a comfortable Conference Room with carpeted floors and air conditioning. It has a large pull-down screen, white board, flip chart and many power points for computers. It also serves as an art gallery and is used for meetings, conferences, training and chamber-type performances. It comfortably seats 45 people at tables and 80 people in rows.

The informal, relaxed atmosphere at the Inn really makes it different from other Hotels. Guests usually feel at home immediately and they often return as friends.

The old Post Office/Magistrates Court dating from 1889 has been converted and serves as a Self Catering unit. It comprises of three bedrooms a bathroom, kitchen and lounge and is situated a street away from the Inn. It is the ideal holiday home for a family and is serviced every day.
