View Accommodations

THE FARM

Our beautiful accommodations are situated on Tupelo Honey farm where we grow avocados, macadamias and herbs and which is surrounded by indigenous forest, disappearing up the mountainsides into the mist. You can walk around and explore the area, or visit The Glass Art Studio which is centrally located at the carpentry workshop. As it’s a working farm, there is fresh produce available during the season.

Beauty of the Magoebaskloof Valley

We offer different accommodation on the farm as we love it so much we realized what fun it is to share it with others. The Herb Cottage has two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a swimming pool, braai area and outside shower. The Herb Cottage is tucked away near the river. It has wheelchair friendly features. Frida’s View has a lovely view from the veranda over the avo orchards and down the mountains. It also has two bedrooms, en suite and similar facilities to the Herb Cottage. Olivia's Secret is our newest cottage - aimed at couples who are looking for a tranquil, romantic getaway. Come and see for yourself! The Coral Tree Campsite is only accessible with a 4 x 4 and you book out the whole place, if there are two to 6 people. Impressive views of the mountains.

WHAT'S NEARBY

Check out some of the activities and attractions available in the area

Mountain Biking

This is a fantastic area for mountain biking, with beautiful scenery – routes range from laid back to seriously challenging. There are several major bike races during the year which are very popular as well as laid out trails. The Herb Cottage is well situated for your biking enjoyment in the Haenertsburg area and surrounding mountains.

The Kruger Park

The biggest game reserve in the country is only 1 ½ hours away, so a day trip is an easy option, going via Tzaneen and Phalaborwa. Or why stop there – you can go through the game reserve directly into Mozambique and on to the coast!

Debegeni Waterfalls

Lovely natural waterfalls ½ an hour away – take a picnic and your swimming gear. Enjoy the majesty of the falls, where you can walk, braai, swim and sunbathe or just relax to the sound of the rushing water. The birds and butterflies are abundant so look out for the Cambridge Blue butterfly or Mountain Wagtails flitting between the pools.

Fairs

The local town of Haenertsburg has several fairs during the year which are well worth visiting – The Spring fair, Berry festival and Kiwi festival to name a few. The Holistic fair will bring you back in touch with your inner self! Plan your visit around them – they’re lots of fun with all sorts of food to taste and you can take home some wonderful mementos.

Golf and Other Sports

For the golfer there is the beautiful Tzaneen Country Club, offering a challenging 18 holes. The famous Merensky Golf course at Phalaborwa (where lions , elephant and other wildlife often join your four ball) and the Polokwane course are top class venues and bowls, squash, tennis and horse riding are also available.

Fishing

Magoebaskloof has some of the most stunning trout waters in the country,You can fish the local dams and rivers by prior arrangement with the Haenertsburg Trout Association or private land owners. Brown and Rainbow trout cruise our waters. For bass, carp, kurper and yellowfish. The nearby Tzaneen and Ebernezer dams offer wonderful sport, spectacular birds and wildlife.
