At Summerhill, we are committed to creating a sustainable hospitality experience.
The Livingroom is independently powered by off-grid energy solutions, while autonomous water systems are used across the estate.
An award-winning dining experience
Situated within Summerhill Guest Estate in Kwa-Zulu Natal, The LivingRoom is one of the country’s top dining destinations. Chef Johannes Richter tells the story of KwaZulu Natal’s culinary diversity through his use of hyper-endemic ingredients, ancient processes, modern thinking and classic techniques. His sustainable-centered fine-dining menu is paired with premium South African wines and exceptional service.
The Wine
The extensive wine programme overseen by Johanna Richter offers a well-considered and comprehensive list of premium South African wines.
The menu is available with a pairing option, which sees a choice selection of these wines expertly paired with Chef Johannes’s dishes. Additionally, Johanna offers a well-thought-through non-alcoholic pairing containing in-house cordials, kombucha’s, juices, and tonics made in-house.
We are very spoilt to live in a city with diversity being portrayed in many different ways and expressions.
This is something The LivingRoom’s philosophy embraces and reflects in wine, food, music & art.
As our main focus lies on sustainability and local produce, we want to support like-mindedness.
A lot of love and passion flows into what we do, therefore we focus on smaller wine makers and producers, that have the same passion and share our thoughts on sustainability or the ecological footprint they leave.
Whether you are a traditional or experimental wine drinker, we are confident you will find something suitable to your liking.
