Introduction

Peering through one teakwood door at Hartford House, you face a Colonial world. Opening another, the distant sounds of an ancient people at work lilt across the silent landscape, a country of great space, spectacular mountains and big skies. This place commands a headland between the world of traditional cultures and the splendid style of our settler forebears.

This is the world of heroic battles, serene mountain passes, of Arts and Crafts, famous Schools and Colleges, where the age-old pastimes of trout-fishing, tennis and golf are practised in the traditional manner.

Hartford House, one of the Country's most beautiful houses, was home to the family of Natal's last Prime Minister and is situated on the Land's most famous Stud farm.
