At Thornleys, we intentionally do not offer TVs. We encourage our guests to immerse themselves in the tranquility of their surroundings. Relax by our swimming pool or unwind in our Turkish Den on a steamy Zululand day. For a cozy atmosphere, join us at The "Thorn & Bubble" bar, the perfect spot to unwind on a rainy evening.

If you're in the mood for some physical activity, Thornleys is ideally located in the heart of the world-famous Zululand Birding Route. Additionally, we're just a two-minute drive away from the Eshowe Hills Eco Estate, boasting a championship 18-hole golf course designed by the same mastermind behind the Royal Johannesburg East course and the exclusive River Club.
