This delightful oasis, in a lovely Victorian house behind a rather chintzy gift shop, is a quintessential English garden in the middle of ‘Maritzburg – complete with topiary trees and quaint chairs and tables. Relax under blossoms and pink bougainvillea while enjoying fresh and very tasty salads, sandwiches and pastries. There are excellent breakfasts, too.
