Built in the 1800's, Lynton Hall has been host to Royalty, Prime Ministers and many notable personages over its lifetime. With the entire Empire to choose from, this gracious property was selected by King George VI and his family for his recuperation in 1952, and rests at the head of Umdoni park, one of the country's most picturesque golf courses, meandering through pristine coastal forest and spilling down to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Now a 5 star all-suite guest house, Lynton Hall has an award winning restaurant, and its wine collection has Platinum status.
Golf courses within easy distances include Umdoni, Selborne, Wild Coast, San Lameer, Southbroom, Royal Durban and the Durban Country Club. Divers are a 15 minute scenic drive from the world renowned Aliwal Shoal, a mecca for scuba enthusiasts, and famous for being a shark diving site. Rocky Bay is 10 minutes away, and is gaining popularity as a dive site of note. From Lynton Hall, you will get a front seat to the annual sardine run, described as 'the greatest migration on earth'. There are various restaurants, arts & craft centres and social pubs nearby. Oribi Gorge Nature reserve is an hour away, with its stunning scenery and adventure activities.
