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.

We offer different accommodation on the farm as we love it so much we realized what fun it is to share it with others.

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 Waterfallls
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.
