The FarSide Farm, Estcourt

Well worth a meander in the beautiful and evocative Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal, this stunning country lodge, masterfully crafted in wood and stone, is just a few minutes from the busy N3 Freeway, and a world apart from the chaos and cares of the city. Set in expansive grounds, overlooking tall trees and a dam, FarSide oozes old-world graciousness and charm, combined with a certain quirkiness of spirit that is evident in the name alone. The accommodation is luxuriously comfortable, and the bedroom fittings include an inviting ball-and-claw bath for that extra touch of indulgence. A leisurely breakfast, warmly prepared and served with a smile, adds the B to the B that makes the FarSide such a welcoming pleasure for a short or lingering stay on the way to or from the coast.
