Waterford Manor

Waterford Manor is a 4-hectare property situated on the Mooi River outside the small village of Rosetta in the picturesque and serene KwaZulu Natal Midlands region. We are 8kms from Nottingham Road and 12kms from Mooi River. We have 700 metres of Mooi River frontage with many idyllic spots available for fly fishing and picnicking.

The property has a lot of indigenous growth and magnificent trees, and we have laid out a couple of walking trails for the enjoyment of guests. Along these trails, you will also find fishing and picnic spots. We have a swimming pool with wooden deck overlooking the river, Enjoy a lovely sundowner under the Lapa.

There are abundant wildlife species, which move freely through all the properties in the region - so be on the lookout for buck, mongoose, porcupines and otters. The birdlife is also prolific we have a couple of resident Paradise Flycatchers and have frequent visits from the Brown Eagle as well as the Hammerkop.

Reviews

  • "Scenic and Calm"

    25 November 2021

    "Manager was really welcoming and was really helpful every step of the way. Beautifull small forest walk and then down to the beautiful Mooi River flowing nicely through the property , where you could swim and relax in the summer I suppose. Lovely breakfast was included and the bedroom and bathroom on our Honeymoon' suite was really neat , clean and smart .I would go back to there without a doubt."

  • "Stay at Waterford Manor"

    25 March 2013

    "Even though we received very friendly service at Waterford Manor, the accommodation was disappointing and not luxurious at all. The website indicated that each self-catering cottage has a DVD player, which was not the case. The TV is very old and small and the rooms are not tastefully decorated and it is not very private. We also did not have a view of the river."

  • "Our stay at Waterford Manor"

    07 October 2009

    "The warm welcome we received on our arrival reminded us why we took the weekend away in the first place; to get away to a different scenery and relax in a different environment. The room was excellent, very cosy and had everything we needed including an electric blanket as the evening was very chilly. The breakfastwas scrumptious and the service from the owners very homey. We really enjoyed the place and would definitely visit the place again and refer family and friends. Thank you so much."

We had a great time and hope to be back in the not too distant future."
