On the fertile grassland surrounding Brahman Hills, the hotel and wedding venue entrepreneur Iain Buchan and his wife, Carol, built in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, they envisioned an outstanding garden that would echo the grand gardens they had seen on their travels. With the help of landscape architect, Tim Steyn, the garden now includes formal parterres, a grotto, magnificent sculptures, water features, pathways and 16 beehives that are works of art.
In 2023 the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) selected Brahman Hills as a Partner Garden, and it went on to become Overseas Regional Winner in the Partner Garden of the Year competition.
