Barberton Manor Guest House

Built in 1927, after a Sir Herbert Baker design, Barberton Manor Guest House takes you back to the old days, as the house is still in its original state: pressed (iron) ceilings, Oregon pine floors, Birma teak doors, fire places in the truly spacious rooms.

However, we put in modern comfort: luxurious bathrooms in every room, ceiling fans, satellite television (DSTV & MNet) and king size beds.
