La Rochelle Estate

 

LaRochelle Estate1

 

 

 

About the Site:

La Rochelle estate, comprising of 108 ha, is one of the best known of the Trust’s properties. It is situated in the Imbeza Valley, Penhalonga in the mountainous eastern border area, some 280 km from Harare and 20 km from Mutare.

LaRochelle Estate2
The house was built by Sir Stephen and Lady Virginia Courtauld in 1951 as a retirement home, and was donated to the National Trust in 1970.  A leading Professor of Architecture described it as follows:

“La Rochelle is a rare example in Africa of a major early Modern Movement (in architectural terms) private house, and almost unique in Zimbabwe, given the quality of its architectural detailing and of its interior decoration, especially in the Fantasia room and the Peacock cottage.”

During the time that they lived here, La Rochelle was a Mecca for important local and overseas people from all walks of life, and included artists and film stars, as well as influential politicians, in addition to family members. Most of these distinguished visitors were asked to engrave their signatures with a diamond-tipped stylus on the two large end windows which are of great historical importance.

The Courtaulds were patrons of the arts and they funded the building of the Courtauld Theatre, the Queen’s Hall, and the Rhodes Club in Mutare, the Kukwanisa Agricultural School at Watsomba, and the National Gallery and the College of Music in Harare.

Spirit of Place Statement for La Rochelle Country Estate:

Visit La Rochelle and experience both the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of a country estate, and feel the passion which led Sir Stephen and Lady Virginia Courtauld to settle in this unspoilt haven. The house and grounds, now enjoyed in perpetuity by the nation of Zimbabwe and its visitors evoke images of a time in history when this generous, titled couple, who combined English, Italian and Hungarian ancestries, adopted this country and its people, and took both to their hearts.

The Courtauld’s public-spirited generosity, their enduring interest in promoting arts, music and culture, and their deep desire to improve the welfare of the rural population shall always be remembered in Zimbabwe.  Their contributions were made quietly and modestly, with sincere humility.

Their foresight in donating La Rochelle to the National Trust now enables visitors to stay in the Courtauld’s home, walk the pathways so lovingly designed and created by Sir Stephen and his team of gardeners, and relax for a while in a haven of peace and beauty. Visitors can marvel at the extensive collection of rare orchids, cared for and tended in the manner established by Sir Stephen.

Stop a while in The Dell, close your eyes, and drift back in time to the late 1950’s. Imagine that you are one of Sir Stephen’s invited guests. Breathe in the scents of the beautiful garden. Visualise Lady Virginia with her kind and generous nature, as she busies herself with the ladies’ home industries projects.  Listen, as from the house drift soft melodies as the musicians warm up their instruments for the evening entertainment.

Take time to enjoy this home and garden, remembering that the Courtauld’s home has been left in trust for the delight and pleasure of future generations.

Rejuvenation and Restoration:

LAR

In June 2014 the National Trust with Acumen Africa, a host of consultants and multitude of contributors began the restoration of the property to its former glory, through the renovation of the buildings and rejuvenation and redesign of the gardens. La Rochelle Country House has been fortunate enough to have a dedicated and talented project management team as well as overwhelming support from friends of La Rochelle, both locally and internationally.

In 2015 The La Rochelle Country House opened. Accommodation consists of seven beautifully appointed and individually designed suites in the historic Courtauld House, one free standing West Wing comprising of 5 rooms and a honeymoon suite situated a small distance from the Country House overlooking the dam. All rooms reflect the elegance of the Art Deco and 1920’s era. Interiors have been carefully chosen to suit the style and are spacious and equipped with the finest materials, linen and amenities giving an instant homely feel in a luxurious and friendly environment. There are also more secluded single and family cottages available.

A new Snooker Room, that saw the reconditioning of a 100 year old British championship table, was opened. The new children’s “petting farm’ was partially completed which – along with fishing, boating, hiking, birdwatching, cycling, horse-riding, snooker, swimming and spa treatments facilities improve the visitor experience.

The Old Craft Hall was restored to its former glory. The project achieved Lady Virginia’s request in her Will to use La Rochelle as “a venue for conferences either of a public, national, international or educational character”.

The natural and cultural features also attract many special interest groups including those of the Orchid, Aloe and Tree Societies, Birding groups from around the world, the History Society and various Arts groupings.

La Rochelle: 2017-March 2018 Update

La Rochelle is a rare example in Africa of a major early Modern Movement (in
architectural terms) private house, and almost unique in Zimbabwe. Today it is a boutique hotel.
In late 2017 a unique Public Private Partnership (PPP) was established and the Trust signed a 50 year
Notarial lease for La Rochelle for the establishment of the following:

• Agricultural Training centre
• Accommodation for training centre and
• Expansion of country house

The PPP is in synergy with the vision of the NTZ and Organic Africa and their business partners have
a very good reputation for looking after the environment and being socially responsible in their business
operations. Needless to say the project presents an exciting opportunity for ensuring the economic viability
of La Rochelle, training and supporting small scale farmers, caring for the environment and raising the profile
of the NTZ regionally. Based on the positive feedback in response to the new management of the property
and the upgrading that has taken place, there is enormous potential for growth. This past year has been a
busy and eventful one for La Rochelle and we are very happy with how far we have come in working towards
our end goals and vision for the “La Rochelle Project”.

The property consists of three main sections: The hotel and Beauty Spa, the grounds and the new organic
herb farm. A research programme was undertaken in December 2017 and January 2018 to determine attitudes to and understanding of the property in order to obtain information that is useful in planning longer-term future
strategy for the venue.

Country House Boutique Hotel

Occupancy has greatly improved with an average occupancy rate of 40%.

The hotel successfully hosted the following events:

• 10 conferences with top corporates such as Old Mutual, TelOne, ZIMPLATS, Pearl Properties, IDBZ
and more.
• Bird courses, vintage car rally, art retreat, jazz evening, food and wine pairings, educational workshops
and four weddings.
• A series of musical events were performed by the Peterhouse instrumental group and the Iona Jones
Singers of the Phoenix Choir.

Work on identifying and recording the signatures etched on the famous windows continues, the result will be
of great historical significance and will result in a publication.

The well-known Tjaart Walraven, famous South African chef and judge on the popular show SA Bake Off,
came to train the catering staff and new menus.

High-tea’s in the garden or lunch in the Chinese Pergoda were introduced in the 20ha arboretum, a tranquil
venue set amongst exotic trees with a breathtaking view towards the forested mountains on the Mozambique
border. The coffee shop area was renovated and extended outside on the patio area.

Beauty Spa

A thatched rondavel was upgraded to house the beauty Spa adjacent to the swimming pool area. The
treatments on offer have been reorganized and the spa now offers a wider range using all natural and organic
products.

    

   

Organic Herb Farm

The herb farm training centre has seen the establishment of 10 hectares of ‘field test’ of organic herbs and
the trials are well on their way and fast expanding. Herbs that have been planted include Lemon Verbena,
Peppermint, Chilli, Chamomile, Lemon balm, Fennel, Stinging Nettle, Safflower, Calendula, Caraway, Tulsi,
Basil, Thyme, Dandelion, two varieties of Ginger, and three varieties of Turmeric Anise and many have seen
their first harvest. Visitors to the hotel can now wader down to the farm and pick fresh herbs to make a cup
of herbal tea or pick a few to garnish a sun downer drink with.

The trials were conducted by Mr Dominik Collenberg who holds a Master’s Degree in Organic Farming and a Master’s Degree in Economics of Development which means that he has the expertise to implement the project. He is the Director of Organic Africa a company who focus on organic production and are the only company certified in organic fair trade products in Zimbabwe. They are also the only company in southern Africa whereby its small scale farmers have their land certified and so are able to produce high quality herbs.

Organic Africa works extensively with all their producers to help them attain Ethical Biotrade, Organic and
Fair Trade certification. An export market was secured for the crops by a leading herbal tea producer based
in Europe.

Since September 2017, the farm has trained some 3,889 farmers (2377 female and 1512 male). 47 of them comprised 4
farm managers and 42 contract farmers. Future plans include the building of a regional agricultural college to train small scale farmers, mainly women, on how to grow crops without using chemicals or fertilisers and how to make compost according to strict organic global regulations.

Estate Grounds
Further improvements were completed to the orchid house.

The very rare Lady Virginia Orchid flowered again. It flowered for the first time in 2016 after 40 years of not
flowering. The Courtauld’s discovered the rare species and kept it in their greenhouse at Eltham Palace,
London. When their greenhouse was destroyed in the Second World War, only a tiny piece of the orchid
remained which miraculously they were able to identify and save and it is now on show in the Orchid House.

Visitors are enjoying exploring the extensive grounds that are continually being improved upon:
• New trails have been established for hiking, biking and horse riding.
• Volley ball and croquet facilities were created.
• A petting farm was opened.
• The large swimming pool was restored.
• The dam was also restored; children can paddle in the dam, go fishing and boating.

La Rochelle: 2016 Update

2016 was a busy and eventful year for La Rochelle and we are very happy with how far we have come in working towards our end goals and vision for the “La Rochelle Project”. Here are a few highlights of what we managed to achieve:

  • Completed improvements to the La Rochelle orchid house and had the very special Lady Virginia Orchid flower for the first time since 1973.

       

  • Successfully hosted 10 conferences with top corporates such as Old Mutual, TelOne, ZIMPLATS, Pearl Properties, IDBZ and more.
  • Our occupancy has greatly improved this year with an average occupancy rate of 40%.
  • Hosted a number of events such as bird courses, vintage car rally, art retreat, jazz evening, food and wine pairings and educational workshops.

   

  • Successfully hosted 3 weddings.

We have more exciting plans for 2017 and we hope that you will join us for some of them.

We also hope that some of you are planning to hold special events such as 50th birthday parties, wedding anniversaries, corporate strategy meetings and engagement parties at La Rochelle in 2017. We really need your continued support to achieve our overall vision.

Below is a calendar of what will be happening in 2017 at La Rochelle Country House and Spa.

Latest News: Refurbishment of the Dell and Water Furrow – October 2015

Further to receiving a very generous private donation we have now completed the restoration of the ponds in the Dell area of the garden.

Another 350m of repairs to the water furrow still need to be completed.  The river which feeds the furrow is now very low so we will complete these repairs once we have our first rains and there is adequate water to keep the concrete wet. Picture showing repairs to water furrow leading to the gardens.

As shown below concreting and stone work has been completed  to a section of earthen furrow that needed to be concreted as too much water was being lost before reaching the gardens.

The Nursery and Orchid Centre

The repairs to the glass houses have been completed. All that remains is to install the irrigation in them and some of the finishing touches.

The wooden slat houses. All old timber was removed and replaced. The old shade cloth roofs will be replaced.

The picture below shows steps being built that will allow guests to have a tour that leads through the orchid houses. Meaning that visitors do not need to retrace their footsteps back to get to the next house.

8

Picture showing an example of some of the potted plants that had out grown their pots that have now been removed.

As shown below a stand of bamboos are being removed as they have taken over a section of the nursery. For years this has caused damage to the surrounding shade houses, underground water pipes and electric cables.

We are now looking forward to the next phase of work which will be to concentrate on the nursery and orchid houses.

End of Year Report for La Rochelle: 2015

The NTZ is more than pleased to report that 2015 was an exceptional, exciting and outstanding year for the property that saw many important elements of the LRC project vision being achieved.

Project vision:

To develop the La Rochelle property and estate into a creative ‘nexus’ of educational, cultural and environmental excellence in Southern Africa while adapting the estate to the economic and educational realities of the 21st century, for the benefit of both Manicaland and indeed Zimbabwe as a whole and playing a small part in the country’s renaissance

In addition to LRC staff hard work whose dedication and commitment is invaluable so much was achieved through a large team of professional people living in Zimbabwe and in the UK, who so generously gave up their time and expertise voluntarily. Together, everyone worked to uphold the vision that Sir Stephen and Lady Virginia Courtauld had for the estate.

The team undertook a major refurbishment of the buildings, infrastructure and gardens was completed and new furniture and equipment was purchased whilst other key pieces were lovingly restored with the expert assistance of Sheena Hewitt.

The La Rochelle Centre Operating Company (LRC) was formalised with the appointment of a Director representing the interest of the NTZ in this Company. The La Rochelle Centre website was launched (www.larochellecentre.com) closely linked to the NTZ website. Mr Kevin Martin was appointed the General Manager of the Estate and Mr Jannie Martin was assigned the responsibility of looking after the orchids and the Dell area.

The final result was the re-opening of the hotel re-branded as the La Rochelle country House.

With assistance from Mrs Henrietta Courtauld, a landscaper based in London, UK, London who spent hours researching the original gardens from family documents, the estate team worked tirelessly to renovate the gardens.  The refurbishment of parts of the garden were made possible by a very generous private donation that was instrumental in renovating the water furrow that feeds the arboretum, many of the ponds and artificial streams as well as a complete overhaul of the famous orchid house which is surrounded by streams and waterfalls.

r1 r2

The team also completed renovations to the more formal gardens and ponds to be able to open La Rochelle as a select wedding venue for the occasional garden wedding set in a stunning grounds.

r4     r3

The building of a new Conference Centre was achieved towards the end of the year with the generous assistance of Stone Beattie Architectural Studio in Harare. The Old Craft Hall was restored to its former glory. The project achieved Lady Virginia’s request in her Will to use La Rochelle as “a venue for conferences either of a public, national, international or educational character”.

r5

Another project completed was the opening of a new Snooker Room, that saw the reconditioning of a 100 year old British championship table. The new children’s “petting farm’ was partially completed which – along with fishing, boating, hiking, bird watching, cycling, horse-riding, snooker, swimming and spa treatments facilities that will improve the visitor experience.

During the major refurbishment of the house and the estate the “aesthetics from the Courtauld era” were retained through careful research wherever possible. A development of this magnitude is extremely positive, especially against the backdrop of a difficult economic situation in Zimbabwe.

 

LAR circa 2013   LAR Ext Signature  LAR Pool Signature

In addition to the re-opening of the hotel a La Rochelle Historical Guide Book. was compiled by Mr Bruce Mennell, who lives in the UK who put in much time and effort researching and seeking information from a variety of sources including Darrel Plowes, the NTZ and English Heritage. The document was kindly edited by Mrs Sharon Waterworth who lives in Zimbabwe. The guide book is an excellent resource for those visitors to LAR and in addition to this it is a valuable historical document containing many rare photographs of Sir Stephen and Lady Virginia Courtauld.

Mr Mennell luckily, also was able to trace historic negatives held by a London photographic studio. Copies of the photographs, taken of La Rochelle and the Courtaulds in 1957 by the renowned British photographer Mr J. Alan Cash, F.R.P.S.and now displayed in the house. The find was a very fortuitous record of the lounge fittings and of views of the house and surrounds at the time that the Courtaulds lived at La Rochelle. Mr Mennell also had copies made of various paintings that were formerly hanging in the house, creating another historical record.

During the time that the Courtaulds lived at La Rochelle it was a Mecca for important local and overseas people from all walks of life, and included artists and film stars, as well as influential politicians, in addition to family members. Most of these distinguished visitors were asked to engrave their signatures with a diamond-tipped stylus on the two large end windows which are of great historical importance.

r7

An exercise to decipher and record all the signatures on the windows commenced in November 2013 and the compilation of the signatures was completed in 2015. The pain staking work was undertaken by Mrs Nina Bauer of the NTZ, Mrs Heather White and Mr Darrel Plowes. Also the next step was started: to research into each signatory and compile an account of whom they were.

The signatures cover an interesting period in the history of Zimbabwe and they may provide an insight into what facilitation role the Courtaulds played in its transformation. In 2016 the NTZ will publish this important information into a document.

We are now looking forward to implementing more projects during the course of 2016.
