The beautifully restored

It is situated in the quaint Van Reenen Village, just 1 km off the N3 at the top of Van Reenen’s pass, halfway between Durban and Johannesburg, and 380 km from Bloemfontein. Making it an Ideal half-way stop over.
There are a variety of rooms all spotlessly clean and fitted with modern heating and air-conditioning for your comfort. Each room is individually decorated in olde country style.
The Green Lantern Inn also serves as a unique wedding, family reunion, party and function venue. Conveniently situated for everyone – “Let’s meet half way”. We are now able to cater for 150 function guests. 70 accommodated in the hotel and others in comfortable accommodation nearby.
The Half Way Noggin Pub is an attraction in its own right, enjoy the roaring fire, and large selection of refreshments served. Meet Bo-Jangles, the resident Donkey in the pub or go back to the 1930’s and watch Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy on the original movie screen in the lounge while the kids happily entertain themselves in the farmyard and playground area.
The country kitchen offers a selection of scrumptious food all day, served in the restaurant, dining room, or terrace overlooking the beautiful English country garden.
The new owners have brought the grand old lady back into her prime. She is definitely worth a visit!
