Situated in Swinburne, just off the N3 highway, approximately in the centre of a triangle between Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein, at the top of the Drakensberg Highlands, surrounded by mountain peaks and rural dirt roads, we offer tranquil surroundings with river frontage, and sheep and cattle farms all around with friendly locals and farmers constantly stopping by.
A place of peace and tranquility that nurtures the soul and revives the spirit. A place where children can be free to explore and are welcome. We have various double rooms, single rooms and family units all with ensuite amenities.
