Lupus Den Country House

Description

Augustus Walton, who hailed from England`s Lake District, farmed on "Mimosa" in the Paterson district. "Mimosa" is now part of the Addo Elephant Park. One of his 12 children, Mildmay (Noel`s grandfather) purchased the farm "Tregaron" in the Sundays River Valley in 1894. It was subsequently divided between his 3 sons. Noel`s father, Ralph Wolfe Walton chose the name Lupus Den ("the home of the wolf") for his portion. Noel now farms the land together with his elder son, Adrian - the fourth generation to farm on "Lupus Den".

      * Guests may relax in a private lounge where they can enjoy the cosy warmth of 

         a log fire on a winter's night.

      * Swim, or simply cool off after a hot day, in the pool.

      * Spend time bird-watching in our tree-filled garden searching for the Blackheaded Oriole, whose melodious call can be heard more often than it can be seen flitting from one tall tree to another.

      * DSTV available in our spacious living room.

      * Sip sundowners on our vine-covered patio or in our private guest lounge.

      * Enjoy hearty farmhouse breakfasts, light lunches and candlelit, 3-course, dinners
         on the patio, weather permitting.

      * At leisure, select mementoes or greeting cards from the South African range 
         of handmade Bizzi B stationery.
