Built as a farmhouse on land once connected to the Conforzi tobacco and tea estates in the early 1900s, The Thyolo House has been transformed into an intimate retreat where history, art, and nature converge.
Set in the Thyolo highlands on a historic property that was once part of the Conforzi Tea Estate, it is a place to slow down, eat well, and discover something unexpected.

I cannot recommend a stay here highly enough. I still can't believe how beautiful everything was here. The rooms are stunning and the gardens too. The food was impeccable and the service from Amos was top class.
