Since 1875, Glen Eden has served as a sacred space of transformation, initially as a Methodist chapel and, until recently, as the pioneering Caversham Press – a venue for artists to perfect their craft. Today, we combine conscious luxury with community impact, creating experiences that resonate with significance. For those seeking meaning beyond luxury and connection beyond comfort, we invite you to join us in this enchanting space. We are situated in the heart of the Midlands Meander, just a stone’s throw from Ardmore Ceramics, Midmar Dam, the Drakensberg, Michaelhouse, Hilton College, and the vibrant Nottingham Road community. Don’t let your luxury escape be merely another hotel stay. Make it count. Reserve your Glen Eden experience today

In the heart of the Caversham Valley a historic Methodist chapel from 1875 has been transformed into a sanctuary of conscious luxury. Glen Eden Lodge invites you to be a part of a story where heritage meets hope, where luxury creates legacy, and where every stay contributes to community transformation. Our intimate collection of suites, nestled in the valley landscape and expansive garden, offer more than just a luxury escape – it provides a meaningful connection to place and purpose. From our historic chapel – newly renovated, including new stained glass windows – to our planned community-enriching initiatives, every aspect of your stay weaves into a larger tapestry of positive impact. The magnificent stone house is built on a riverfront site with the Lions River within easy walking distance. It offers peace and quiet, some fireplaces for cosy winter gatherings, and superb luxury breakfasts served daily. Dinners are on request. The house is pet-friendly, but please let us know when booking, and please provide pet bedding and food. Our Victorian chapel will be available from June 2025 for private functions, weddings, memorials, Sunday lunches and conferences by arrangement.
