The Breakfast Table

Mornings at The Rawstornes gather everyone around a single long table. There's something deeply nourishing about this — the clink of cups, the smell of toast, the unhurried quality of a meal made with care.

Our breakfast is freshly prepared each morning using local, seasonal ingredients. It's available as an optional extra — simply let us know when you book, and we'll have it ready for you.

  • Freshly cooked hot & cold options daily
  • Local produce & seasonal ingredients
  • Dietary requirements accommodated on request
  • Dinner & catering available for events

A Garden Worth
Wandering In

The grounds at The Rawstornes are a quiet spectacle — roses in bloom, tropical plants, old trees, and the kind of stone-paved pathways that slow your pace without asking you to.

Whether you'd like a morning coffee on the patio, a guided garden walk, or simply a place to sit and watch the birds, the garden is always open to guests.

Sustainability

Powered by
the African Sun

The Rawstornes is entirely solar-powered — a deliberate choice to reduce our footprint on the Midlands landscape we love. Our solar installation provides clean, reliable electricity for the entire property, including all guest rooms and facilities.

This means guests enjoy uninterrupted power during load-shedding — a practical benefit and a point of pride. We are also mindful in our use of water, waste, and local resources throughout the property.
