Nestled amidst six hectares of agriculturally zoned land in the tranquil suburb of Umtentweni, Royston Hall is a grand Victorian-style manor house that exudes timeless elegance. Declared a national heritage site, this iconic property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of South Africa’s storied past.

A PAM GOLDING PROPERTIES EXCLUSIVE

Sold Furnished

The property features nine spacious bedrooms, each designed with classic elegance, and eight well-appointed bathrooms, offering both comfort and luxury. Multiple lounges and dining areas provide ample space for relaxation and entertainment, while a sparkling swimming pool, a contemporary addition, enhances the property’s appeal as a modern retreat.

Royston Hall’s rich history is as captivating as its architecture. Brigadier General John Royston, affectionately known as "Galloping Jack" for his bravery and leadership during World War I, once called this property home. Royston earned acclaim for his valor and was beloved by his troops, the Australian Light Horse. After his passing, he was buried on the estate before being reinterred at Durban’s Heroes Acre. His wife, Mildred, maintained their home and created a shrine to his legacy, preserving his military memorabilia. Mildred lived at the property until her death in 1973, adding a poignant chapter to the estate’s legacy.

Today, Royston Hall is more than a historic residence; it is a living testament to South Africa’s cultural heritage. Operated as a guest house and events venue, it offers an enchanting setting for visitors to experience its timeless beauty and historical significance. The expansive grounds provide breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, offering a serene escape from modern life while remaining conveniently accessible to nearby amenities.

Whether you envision continuing its legacy as a guest house, hosting events in its picturesque surroundings, or restoring it to a private family estate, Royston Hall offers endless possibilities. This is a property where history, elegance, and opportunity converge.

Seize the chance to own one of South Africa’s most significant heritage sites. Royston Hall invites you to step into its story and create a legacy of your own.
