🚗 The halfway stop that feels like part of the journey.
Travelling between Johannesburg and Durban? Just 1km off the N3, The Green Lantern Inn has been welcoming travellers at Van Reenen’s Pass since 1892.
And while we’re a convenient place to stop for the night, we’re not your typical roadside hotel.
We’re a proper old country inn. Full of history, character and those little touches that make you feel like you’ve stepped somewhere different for a while. A warm fire, a cosy room, a drink at the pub, a good meal and a place where the whole family can settle in.
🐾 Pet friendly – bring the whole family
👨👩👧 Child friendly
🍽️ Restaurant & pub on site
🔥 Warm fires for those cold Van Reenen nights
🛏️ Electric blankets and heaters in your room
📍 Just 1km off the N3, easy to get to, easy to get back on the road
🏡 Established in 1892, with plenty of stories and character built into the walls
Whether you’re breaking the journey between Joburg and Durban, travelling with the kids, bringing the dogs, or simply looking for somewhere with a little more soul than a standard overnight stop...
Pull off the N3. Slow down. Warm up. Stay a while. ❤️
