Anford Country House and Restaurant is ideally situated between Johannesburg and Nelspruit and the Kruger National Park just off the N4 highway and offer accommodation and bed and breakfast facilities to travelers.

The first house on the site of Anford was initially built in 1872 by the Coetzee brothers Fanie and Andries on the farm that was then known as Hartebeesspruit. The old trading route between Pretoria and that time Lourenzo Marques now Maputo in Mozambique ran through the farm.

Post and trading wagons went by delivering and collecting post on these old routes. Many old outspan areas are located in the area. The old traders planted the many willow trees next to the rivers for shade when they next come that way.

The first house on the site of Anford was burned down by the English in their scorched earth policy during the second Boer war in 1901, and the Coetzee women and children was taken to the concentration camps in Belfast. The old Anford house was rebuild a couple of years later as a raw brick and mud building with corrugated roof.

It is also an ideal venue for a weekend get away with some excellent fly fishing only 2 hours from Gauteng. Anford House and Restaurant also caters for small conferences and weddings.
