| The
Royal Country Inn in Dundee combines the benefits
of modern accommodation with an old-world charm. Situated
in the heart of the battlefields, halfway between Johannesburg
and Durban, it is the ideal stopover for weary travellers
– a home-from-home with every comfort and amenity
– as well as a convenient base from which to explore
the rich history of the surrounding area.
Originally known
as the Royal Hotel, this inn was established in 1886,
just four years after the town of Dundee was founded
by a Scottish coal miner seeking his fortune and destiny.
Together, Dundee and the Royal Hotel built on their
foundations, growing together, and today, the Royal
Country Inn stands proudly restored to its former glory.
Proprietors, Daniel
and Motz Bezuidenhout, bought the Royal in 1999, at
a time when the inn appeared more than a touch tired
and run-down, a definite “fixer-upper”. After five years
of hard work, creative energy, and equal amounts of
frustration and joy – the Royal Country Inn stands proud
once again. Daniel and Motz have, however, been
careful throughout its ongoing restoration not to lose
the original charm and historical ambience.
We are proud of our
staff at the Royal – they are friendly, helpful, and
pay attention to smaller details sometimes overlooked
in large, impersonal hotels. They are always willing
to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and
enjoyable. Daniel, Motz and their staff extend an invitation
to come and sample the wares at the Royal Country Inn! |
