Green Lantern Inn is in the village of Van Reenen, just off the N3 highway. It is a 30-minute drive from Harrismith and 75 km from Sterkfontein Dam Nature Reserve. The village has the smallest church in Africa and a 100-year-old restaurant. Harrismith Airport is 34 km away.
Free WiFi, parking, pet-friendly
Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Free street parking is provided. Daily housekeeping is included. Meeting and banquet facilities are available. Pet bowls and pet-friendly rooms are offered. CCTV cameras and key access ensure security. Staff can assist with luggage.
“There's a palpable sense of history here, a feeling of stepping into a well-loved establishment that has warmly embraced its past for over a century. This charm extends to the tranquil gardens, a perfect counterpoint to the hearty, home-style cooking that makes you feel genuinely looked after. It strikes me as a place that understands the simple pleasures of good food and friendly faces.”
