Balgowan

Featuring a hot tub, AfriCamps at Gowan Valley is located in Balgowan. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The chalet provides a pool with a view, hot tub and full-day security. It was a great fun start to our road trip. The breakfast basket for two was enough to feed all three of us for dinner (sausages, bacon and eggs with toast) and breakfast (yoghurt, muesli etc)

Springvale Farm

Nottingham Road

Situated in Nottingham Road and only 21 km from Fort Nottingham Museum, Springvale Farm features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the farm stay for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. This was an unexpected stay in the area after car troubles but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! We stumbled on this farm in a panicky effort to find pet-friendly accommodation and I still can't believe our good fortune. The farm, and everyone on it, are fantastic. We were looking for a room for 1 night and ended up staying a lot longer. The cottages are incredibly comfortable, spacious, spotless, thoughtfully decorated and well kitted out in all rooms - the electric blankets, log fires, hot tub and freshly baked bread were amazing! There is plenty of space for the family, friends and furbabies. The setting is pretty spectacular - what a beautiful part of the world - and there are plenty of things to do within the property including fishing, hiking and birdwatching. Take the time to find the cranes, they're beautiful! A very big thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our stay so special. Deborah, in particular, was fantastic and really saved the day, I cannot speak highly enough of her and everything she has done for us - it is so encouraging to know that there are such kind people in this world, who will drop everything to come and rescue complete strangers. Do yourself a favour and book one of the cottages, it is 100% worth it!!

Guests at the holiday home will be able to enjoy activities in and around Nottingham Road, like hiking. Guests can also warm themselves near outdoor fireplace after a day of fishing. Forty Winks is a cosy, comfortable, safe, and beautiful place to enjoy a family getaway. It is quiet, serene, peaceful and so relaxing. The hosts take every single detail into consideration. We were provided complimentary farm eggs, milk, rusks, firewood, coal, drinking water, and home brewed sherry. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. My kids were able to enjoy the outdoors and we loved exploring the trails. The view is just phenomenal. For international travelers, this has been one of the most amazing places we've ever stayed at. It delivered far more than we expected, and we are undoubtedly going to return to Forty Winks on our next visit to South Africa.
