King's Grant Country Retreat

For over one hundred years King's Grant was run by the resident Dutch & German Brothers & Sisters of Mariannhill as the St Isidor Mission and Millworks. Originally built by German Trappist Monks in 1891, the ancient red brick buildings have been restored and converted into an enchanting country guest lodge with Bed & Breakfast as well as self-catering rooms accommodating 24 - 26 guests.
