We were about to have our minds blown and our taste buds teased. He explained what they were going for in creating the menu and how the Culinary Chef’s had created something completely new and innovative. A great way to re-use and recycle.Īfter our little run around we joined everyone as Sean welcomed us all to Granny Mouse and explained the new menu to us. I love the quirky spaces like the wall in the Mouse and Lion with a frame on it made out of wine corks. Fire places, wood furnishings, brick and stone highlights. This gave Al and I time to walk around the property and do some exploring, as the two of us tend to do. Greeted by a familiar and welcomed wood fire in the reception we were shown to one of the many lounge areas on property, and treated to a little champagne. Walking down the cobbled path, we headed towards the reception area, passing the family rooms which over-look the court fountain and conference hall. Immediately we were greeted by the ever friendly Deputy General Manager, Mouton Du Toit.I knew this was a good sign as we were there to do one thing, to eat!Įating was in fact the entire purpose of the day, the whole reason we were braving the cold and gathering the troops! Granny Mouse was launching their winter menu and we were going to be the select first few to be introduced to the wonderful new options. Granny Mouse is not only open for short stay accommodation but also has a conference room, chapel and corporate facilities available. Where many a winter wedding has taken place and many a party. Secured in the middle is the well known and quaint Granny Mouse Chapel. A sound and smell I have much missed but not forgotten. We went traveled up with Kyro from Goldfish Communications a few fellow writers, bloggers, food critics and photographers, for much like Bilbo Baggins we were off on an adventure.Īs we opened the car doors, we stepped out into the beautiful parking lot, surrounded by beautifully tall trees, vast valleys of green which mist rolls out of in the mornings and artistically arranged waterfalls built into frames. Even then it was one of the best places to be in Kwa Zulu Natal.Īl Nicoll and I as usual packed up our “dream team” and headed up to The Midlands Meander. Completely and utterly relaxed, this may be a bit biased as I must mention I once did work there. Not only am I always talking about this establishment but it is one of the very few places where I feel 100% at home. So when I got an invite a few weeks ago from the folks you know I love the most, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa. I guess its my aversion to heat and being all hot an sweaty at the drop of the hat, or its just my very real emotional peace and calm that comes with moody weather? I will be there wearing shorts and a shirt. Bring on the wind, rain, lightning, thunder, and torrential storms. You see winter is my favorite season, hell it’s my favorite everything. The wind is chilly to the bone and the morning sun is sharper than it should be. As most of you know we here in Southern Africa are dipping into winter.
