Lynton Hall
LYNTON HALL, SOUTH COAST HOTELS
KWAZULU NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA
The beautiful Lynton Hall Estate Luxury Guest House with its exclusive guest rooms is located on KwaZulu Natals South coast in South Africa.
Now in its third century and host to Royalty, Prime Ministers, men of letters and captains of business, the exclusive Lynton Hall was the sanctuary of sugar baron Sir Frank Reynolds and is still owned by his direct descendant. It is built on a hill overlooking the Indian Ocean to catch the sea breezes. With the Empire to choose from, this gracious property was selected by King George VI and his family for his recuperation in 1952. The property lies in 15 hectares of garden and rests at the head of Umdoni Park, the lands most picturesque golf course, meandering through pristine coastal forest and spilling down to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
The award-winning restaurant at Lynton Hall serves sumptuous breakfasts, lunches and dinners either overlooking the magnificent gardens or in the candle lit Dining Hall or wine cellar. The culinary creations of Lynton Hall are inspired by its proximity to the Indian Ocean and the property's traditional connections with Colonial India. The cooking philosophy of the movement initiated by Five Star Master Chef, Richard Carstens, is expressed in an avant-garde New World style where the emphasis is on flavour, texture and individuality, each dish carrying the signature of his energy and passion.
The Wine List at Lynton Hall enjoys Platinum status and Lynton Hall boasts a Sommelier, of which there are not many in South Africa. The Sommelier is a rare hybrid of wine connoisseur, gourmet, psychologist and diplomat, his "holy grail" the perfect match of food and wine.
