About Green Lantern Inn Hotel & Gardens
The Green Lantern Inn Hotel & Gardens is a historic country hotel established in 1892 and located in the village of Van Reenen, situated at the top of Van Reenen's Pass just 1 km off the N3 highway. Positioned as a halfway rest stop for travellers journeying between Johannesburg and Durban, the property features sprawling English country gardens, an animal farm, a children's playground, and an outdoor swimming pool.
Guests can choose from standard country hotel rooms, larger family suites, or fenced garden cottages designed for those travelling with pets, with rooms equipped with air-conditioning, heating, and electric blankets. The main building houses a communal lounge, a 100-year-old restaurant, and a well-stocked English country-style pub named the Halfway Noggin, while the surrounding scenic mountain area offers proximity to local landmarks like the Llandaff Oratory and the Windy Corner lookout point.
