Recently I was told about this quaint cafe / garden / secondhand shop in Pietermaritzburg called Rosehurst that had an amazing setting I was sure to like. Turns out I did. The garden is currently under repair at the moment with it being winter and although the shop is a bit too much for my taste, the gardens are what make it for me. They just take you away from reality and plonk you right into a fairy tale. Next time I’m taking wine, a blanket and the wife.
Oh yeah… the cafe makes a mean peppermint crisp milkshake! So in summary, Rosehurst is a great place to unwind, shop for collectables or talk over a tasty lunch.
Oh wow , I used to visit this garden during the midlands open gardens every year when it was a private home. It was spectacular! Moved away 10 years ago, so I didn’t know it was a restaurant/shop now. How nice to be able to visit it all year around.
This is absolutely awesome – my dad lived here as a toddler with his family (it was his grandparents’ house) in the early 1960s . He has old photos of this house from the ’60s. We now live in Cape Town but it’s so cool that this has been featured here.
Freaking love Rosehurst! Probably the most awesome place in Pmb!! Amazingly captured as well
right outside my doorstep and I didn’t know about it!
So pretty!
Lovely pictures – Love Rosehurst my favourite place in pmb to have coffee!!!
My very favourite haunt in PMB ~ my girlfriends and I really appreciate the garden and rose petals… Alice in Wonderland style!
Shocking and RUDE service from the manager, never going back.
