Description
Self catering accommodation With a view above the clouds, let your discovery of the Northern Drakensberg Begin....
Situated just inside the border of Kwaz-ulu Natal, Windmill Farm is conveniently located halfway between Johannesburg and Durban, in an area landscaped by the beauty of the vast Drakensberg mountain range. Only 35 km from the Natal National Park, which boasts the worlds second highest waterfall...the TUGELA FALLS. Only 15km from Sterkfontein Nature Reserve.
Windmill Farm is the perfect location for nature lovers and guests wishing to explore all that this beautiful area has to offer. Stay in one of our charming, self-catering cottages, perched along the edge of the plateau. Then relax, breathe in the fresh air, take in the uninterrupted view and let your discovery of the Northern Drakensberg begin.
Sounds of bird life and late night calls of the Jackal and buck will find you in Natures palm. Herds of Eland have claimed the farm as their favorite spot in the winter months with welcoming visits to the cottages doorsteps. There is a troop of 28 baboons who roam close by but not too close for comfort.
This is a true breakaway leaving you with the complete sound of silence. Family owned by The Van Rensburg family who have been in the area for over 35 years. Craig Van Rensburg purchased the farm in July 2012, the farm needed some tender love and care. In the past 6 years major renovations and rebuilding has been completed to upgrade the farm to a higher standard.
Five cottages have been completed, the Hotel is up and running and the restaurant is open business as w
The tranquil blue of the Sterkfontein Dam; a fishing and water-sports paradise; lies behind us. Ahead of us we enjoy an expansive view of the Northern Drakensberg above the clouds.
We look forward to welcoming you to a little piece of paradise.
