Darling Lodge Guest House offers a harmonious blend of old and new reflecting the romantic name of the little town. The main house, the Victorian charm of which has remained intact, offers three individually decorated country style rooms. The more modern garden annex consists of three further generously appointed rooms with a grape-vine covered patio which overlooks the sparkling swimming pool. The three spacious suites (built in 2020) offer a private lounge with sofa and lounger, a fridge, a Nespresso machine and a private veranda facing the garden or the swimming pool.
Most rooms are dedicated to a local artist, whose work is on display and can be purchased. It is our pleasure to arrange a visit at the artist’s workshop by request.
Generous breakfasts are served in the breakfast room or on the patio.
The lush garden with its ancient pepper an palm trees, fountain spraying water over blossoming roses, aloes, bougainvillea and mass of lavender with its heady fragrance invites guests to relax, unwind and enjoy.
This is also the motto for all our valued guests. Hence none of our rooms is equipped with noisy TV sets (WiFi via fibre internet), we only accommodate children over 12 years of age who are in the company of adults. There are no braai facilities, and although we love pets our resident cats Nala and Leopold dislike other pets in their territory, so we cannot accommodate guests travelling with pets.

Lovely spot, friendly hosts, great location! Will definitely go back
Stunning Guesthouse with beautiful garden, exceptional style and a super host, Stefan. Wish we could stay longer.
We booked at very short notice and were well received, the staff are friendly, the rooms are huge. It’s a lovely old refurbished country hotel.
Beautiful setting. Welcoming hosts. Very nice breakfast.
Friendly welcome, very pretty house and gardens, friendly cats! Room was neat, clean and comfortable. Only recommendation is additional blanket needed when really cold in winter. Breakfast was lovely. Can highly recommend the Darling Lodge.

My family had a fabulous time at Doornfontein, my kids liked the fact that they had there own private pool, great hospitality from Amanda and husband. Kids when quad bike riding, saw animals. It was adventurous for our family. Arendse family.

We fell in love with this beautiful gem! Definitely a must visit town!
