“Peaceful perfection!”
This home is in such a lovely location with a gorgeous view over fields and forests. It’s so peaceful! The house has everything you could need, and the new braai is awesome. The hosts were fantastic and always helpful with recommendations, and the dogs were so lovely, especially Lady and Smooches. What a beautiful slice of heaven, we’ll definitely be back!

What an awesome find. Such a peaceful retreat to have down time and chillax. Check-in and communications are fantastic, with the hosts being top-notch. Accommodation is well appointed and very comfortable. They view is outstanding. Time is lost, just gazing into the distance. Lee's "church"(Aka carnivore plants collection) is a must-see. It is absolutely unbelievable and impressive. If you here reading this, thinking of staying... Just do it. You will see. I'll definitely be back if my travels allow. PS the sausage dogs are so precious 😍

Our weekend stay at Far Away Place on the Midlands Meander was absolutely wonderful. The tranquil , surrounded by rolling hills and misty mornings, made it the perfect escape from city life. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and their friendly dogs added an extra touch of charm to the experience. It’s a hidden gem that I’d gladly return to for more peace, nature, and relaxation.
