“Beautiful and rustic stay in nature”
It's a lovely setting in nature, and yet it's still conveniently close to Hilton's amenities. The rooms were comfortable and clean.

Nice propriety, secured. I have been upgraded without asking. I asked for some additional cooking stuff and they brought it right away. The shower and toilet are good. Definitely recommend it.

“I do recommend this facility for accommodation in the Midlands area of KZN”
The environment was beautiful, neat and clean. The owners, management and staff promptly responded to our requests and rectified any issues that arose during our stay at the farm. When the roof leaked in the Stables unit which we were staying, the owners relocated us to another unit without any delay.
