Lexden Guesthouse
Pietermaritzburg
Bed & Breakfast
(7
rooms)
The conversion of the Lexden farmhouse into a modern guest establishment has been undertaken in sympathy with the original architectural design, and over the past 10 years has provided luxury accommodation to many national and international visitors to Pietermaritzburg. Marsh named the farm after the little village near Colchester, Essex, where he was born, and later donated a major part of the farm to the scout movement for training purposes for which it is still used.
Being a communications expert and not wanting to push his own name to the fore it was decided to create a national competition for magazine editors called “The H.V. Marsh Award for Scout Journalism”. The original property was subdivided, with various sites being sold for the purpose of residential development. The present owners are the third owners of the property on which the original dwelling is situated. In spite of the much-altered appearance of the original dwelling after the endless renovations to the house and garden since the present owners took possession of the property in 1984, Lexden still stands in classic colonial elegance at the top of Town Hill overlooking the city on 5500 sq. metres of lush landscaped gardens.
Clean lines, natural light, cotton linen, feather and down pillows and garden views add to the appeal of all rooms. Cotton towelling gowns and slippers and fluffy white towels are available for your comfort in all of the rooms. Tea and coffee and limited DSTV are free of charge along with the fibre Wi-Fi.
All of our spacious, stylishly appointed rooms offer outstanding comfort, luxury facilities and seclusion. They are professionally decorated with modern facilities.
