Within keeping to their current status of 4.5 star rating through Trip Adviser, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa believe that when it comes to holiday accommodation, only the best should be emphasized especially when holidays are not easy to afford in our economic times.

This is one of the reasons why Granny Mouse have partnered with Lavender Co, a Howick based company that supply Granny Mouse Country House & Spa with liquid soap, bath oil, bath salt and lotion in the Lavender, Ylang-ylang & Sandalwood Collection.

If you’re on holiday to get away from it all and find that relaxing in a hot bath with aromatic smells helps you take the load off and rejuvenate yourself, then Granny Mouse should be your chosen destination. Their relationship with Lavender Co allows for the team to spoil their guests and add the small finishing touches to each room’s bathroom with specialized bath products that are laid out perfectly along with his and hers gowns and slippers with lavender sprigs included to add to the relaxation aspect of the stay.

“The blend of oils that are used in each of our products stimulate skin cell renewal and sooth sensitive skin. They have wonderful relaxing and de-stressing properties and smell absolutely fantastic,” says Lynnette Van Der Merwe of Lavender Co.

She adds that their products are made with natural ingredients including plant and vegetable oils of the highest quality and scented with essential oils. No fragrances, animal products or harmful chemicals are used to manufacture their products.

For those women who are taking a pre-baby honeymoon, the Lavender Co has created pregnancy safe products specifically for Granny Mouse. “Our Pregnancy Safe range has products scented with Tea Tree & Sweet Orange Oils. Both Tea Tree and Sweet Orange are completely safe to use during pregnancy and has immune boosting properties, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties,” Van Der Merwe adds.

The Granny Mouse staff agree that these small finishing touches are just one of the positive comments received by guests who visit the property and this is why they keep reinventing the wheel every year.

Travelling as a family presents its own challenges, as one navigates through not only the costs involved, but what activities are offered either on-site or nearby, and whether any of these options are to the taste of your family. This is where Granny Mouse Country House & Spa is ideally positioned, not only in light of physical location, but their provision of on-site activities that create genuine family time.

Nestled in the heart of the Natal Midlands, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa thrives in creating a “home away from home,” and loves nothing more than hosting entire families and building memories with them.

By its very design, the Hotel caters for families travelling together, with double storey family rooms, allowing families a spacious environment in which to enjoy their holiday as well as providing each generation with their own designated area.

A range of both indoor and outdoor activities are also on offer including soccer, cricket and rugby equipment, and a host of board games, including Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Jenga to name a few. However, if getting into the outdoors is more your family’s style, then the Lions River walk is just for you, as you are able to explore this meandering river that runs along the bottom of the Granny Mouse property.

When it comes to thinking about the entire family, at many properties, the little ones are sometimes an afterthought, but at Granny Mouse the little ones are top of mind with miniature gowns for bath time and a marshmallow mouse on arrival to keep them warm and smiling.

Of recent, with the introduction of the Farmhouse into the Granny Mouse offering, one has the opportunity to hire a separate house a mere 900m from the main Granny Mouse Hotel instead of a standard hotel room that only sleeps 4 people. Boasting 5 elegantly decorated bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests, the Farmhouse at Granny Mouse is fully equipped with a large kitchen, dining room with a 10 seater table, lounge, playroom, private pool, veranda, braai facilities and lovely Farmhouse garden that creates the ideal family getaway if you have a larger number of people.

With all of this based on one property, and a plethora of activities located nearby, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa truly provides the perfect family getaway. Make your booking today via reservations@grannymouse.co.za or call 033 234 4071.
