    The location was ideal and scenic, enough to make you feel outside of the city buzz. The property was off the grid both from power and water, which is convenient. The unit as a whole has modern finishes and is very good upkeep. The property owner...

    The estate is quiet and secure. The parking space is close to the door and big enough for my big van. The host is friendly and spoiled us with filter coffee, nougat and rusks.

This open plan off-grid cottage is a quiet getaway in a stunning farm setting. The security estate offers 10km of walks to explore and other small farms to enjoy in the safety of the secure grounds. The fully stocked kitchen offers ideal self-catering and lovely braai facilities with a gorgeous view. The cottage is a quick 3km from the N3 highway, centrally located to explore the Midlands Meander on your doorstep, 7 minutes from Hilton or 15min from Pietermaritzburg. Enjoy exploring our working vegetable farm. Please note: we do have 2 small dogs, Jack Russell's, on the property
We are a family of four who are originally from Cape Town, lived in the UK for many years and moved to the Midlands 7 years ago to enjoy a farm lifestyle and grow what we eat. We enjoy the outdoors, travelling, mountain biking (as we live in a haven for mountain biking) and walking in the mountains and on the beach. We especially love that the Midlands is so close to all these awesome activities. We have two busy adventurous boys who are the joy of our lives. We love meeting people from different cities from around South Africa and the world and understanding different cultures. We are very proud and excited to share our farm cottage with you.
The KZN Midlands is host to so many wonderful attractions activities and delicious food experiences
