The Tuscan Garden is an exclusive boutique-style guesthouse in the town of Newcastle in the luscious northern part of KZN province in South Africa.
The idea was borne from the Tuscan Garden layout, designed by the owner and his wife, after more than 25 years of travel through Europe and other continents. It reminds one very distinctively of the age-old gardens present through the beautiful countryside of Italy. The garden was further inspired after a very special journey through Hungary and the beautiful garden settings in the grounds of the Budapest Palace.
The Tuscan Garden, and home, was put together over a period of many years. The result: set in the midst of “The Tuscan Garden”, a beautiful home with three exclusive, intimate and romantic rooms available on a “booking only” basis.
As you enter the home, you are greeted by a fusion of exquisite cultural designs from various countries across the globe. The home’s reception and interior welcome you in truly East African style with memorabilia from the Maasai people brought back from Kenya, where the owners have a Bible College.
Colourful hardcover books in the reading lounge, where you can also enjoy a complimentary cup of Nespresso coffee, hints at travels of far-off places visited over the years.
Throughout the garden, you will find hidden corners where you can relax in the company of many birds or unwind in the outside entertainment area or on a lounger in the pool area.
The Tuscan Garden drives towards an eco-friendly environment with recycling waste as part of their daily activities, producing organic compost to grow fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden, and not using commercial washing detergents but homemade detergents. They also encourage guests to use water sparingly and re-use towels where possible during more extended stays. In addition, they use propane gas as a heating source.
We believe that The Tuscan Garden will give you a memorable experience for which you will return!
A feeling of days gone by …as you lie down your weary body on a new technology hospitality mattress remember the bed dates back more than 100 years, the wall stand in the passage dates from the same time from the Smithfield district and the bath …
Colourful and fun …room 3 will lift your spirit with colourful birds and flowers on the walls, bright lime cupboards and a purple springbuck hide on the floor in the bathroom -bright red framed Portchie print in the passage makes you smile.
Shuttered luxury of Indonesia, age-old carpets from Istanbul, and to finish off, a distinct feel of Africa …outside behind the room a small forest where the sound of tens of birds will wake you early in the first hours of dawn! The unit has a King Bed.
