Hartford House

 

"South Africa's first-choice wedding venue", as described on their website, Hartford House is situated in Summerhill Stud in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands Meander. This location is perfect if you are looking for a romantic hideaway. Hartford House is a reminder that there is more to luxury than chocolates on a pillow. This amazing venue makes you realise that luxury is not the destination, it is just the journey.
