What a delightful place, environment and ambience. We received the most warm welcoming, everyone at the establishment is amazing. Torburnlea is beyond exquisite. I am excited to visit again. 💖

Nothing, really everything was perfect!

The house itself and the garden are just impressive but super warm and welcoming at the same time! The staff and owners were more than welcoming and offered perfect service and recommendations for the surrounding areas! we immediately felt at home even after a long flight and drive - thanks to the wonderful Torburnlea Team!

There's nothing I didn't like, everything was delightful.

Without a doubt, Torburnlea is the best place to stay in Nelspruit - coming from someone who has spent considerable time visiting the area and experienced quite a few different guesthouses! The home is beautifully maintained and decorated; the interior design is thoughtful, taste and dripping in history. Most of the amenities and interior pieces are locally produced, which is always appreciated. The home is on a gorgeous property, the garden receives much care and it shows! I spent quite a bit of time working away on the front porch, taking in the fragrance and sounds of the garden. The property is located in Mattafin village, which is super quiet and safe. The breakfast and dinners that Stanford, Nicholas and the team prepared were second to none. I wouldn't really consider Nelspruit a city for foodies but the best meals I had in Nelspruit were definitely the dinners prepared by Stanford. Again, they commit to locally produced food items and even grow a lot fo their ingredients. The delicious rusks provided in the room are made by Stanford as well. Last, but not least, the hospitality... Kim, Andrew, Stanford, Andrea, Nicholas, Chris and everyone I interacted with on the property were kind, helpful and welcoming. During my stay, I was truly welcomed and treated like family and felt completely cared for. All the kind gestures and small touches were so appreciated. A big thank you to the Hall family and the team at Torburnlea for your kindness and an enjoyable and restful stay! After being spoiled at Torburnlea, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Nelspruit and hope to visit again (but only in 2022!)

Breakfast was not as generous as I had hoped for but certainly tasty.

Central location, close to highway and shops but not uncomfortably close. Secure environment. Friendly neighborhood. Great variety of birds in surrounding gardens. Historical building, well maintained.

What a breath of fresh air. Beautiful, luxuriously comfortable. Decor very tastefully and thoughtfully done. Loved the nightcap. Surreal and peaceful. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delightful and substantial.

Everything. The farmstyle patio furnished with deep comfy couches. The cookies and coffee. The green garden. The tranquility.

Unfortunately, Stanford was away for the time that we were there but Kim and Chris were gracious hosts and stood in for him. Would have loved to have met him. Till next time.

The house has a wonderful warm and inviting feel to it. It was built in the early 20th century but has all the modern amenities you would expect. The bath in Room 5 is incredible with a fantastic view. The breakfast every morning is served with yoghurt and a selection of fruits and stewed fruit before the hot breakfast is made to order. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing through the area or as a family getaway with enough rooms to accommodate everyone. Situated in a secure and safe lifestyle estate which provided a great opportunity for a mid-day stroll to the farm and equestrian center nearby.

Nothing. Everything was outstanding!!

We had a very short stay at Tornunlea, however, it was amazing! Its the most beautiful property with such a rich history to it. Both Kim and Andrew were welcoming and super friendly. The breakfast was amazing too. Made to each guest's preference and super tasty and well represented. Andrea, although we didn't meet her, made our booking go through easily and catered for all our special requests. Absolutely stunning place and people!

The garden, the tranquility, the details. Everything is special. Andrew and Kim were very lovely. Good and healthy breakfast. The best place to stay in Nelspruit. Thank you!

Could do with some soundproofing between rooms but I guess it's part of the charm of an old home. Thankfully our neighbour was a light snorer ;)

What a special place - from the gorgeous interiors that invite you to relax to the friendly service and delicious meals, this was a perfect getaway spot nestled in a quiet farm village estate. This old family home has been lovingly restored by Kim and Andrew and who can tell you about the amazing history behind it. Can't wait for our next visit.
