Nestled
in a tranquil valley in the Kamberg region and enjoying stunning views
of Giant’s Castle and the Drakensberg, Heronmoor is the perfect place to
take a break or stop over on the way to Durban.
Our
luxury self-catering accommodation makes a great base to explore or to
enjoy the outdoor activities on the farm and nearby.
|
| All
of our three units have kitchen facilities, comfortable lounges opening
onto a patio with either wood burning stoves or fireplaces to get cosy
on winter nights. Each unit has braai facilities and a TV with either video
or DVD players with a selection of movies for your enjoyment.
We
have a small conference centre suitable for workshops or strategic retreats
for up to 14 people and a meditation and yoga room in the conference centre
which guests are welcome to use.
|
|
|
We
offer a fully catered rate for groups of more than 6 and for our conferences
with home cooked, farm fresh, organic delicious meals served in the Farmhouse.
Guests
are free to walk on the 300 hectare farm and there are marked trails to
the waterfall, gorge and stone cottage. During your walk you may be lucky
and spot reedbuck, oribi or duikers as well as a variety of birdlife and
lots of mountain wildflowers during spring and summer.
|
| Endangered
wattled cranes can often be spotted in the wetlands and for those keen
on fly fishing we have a stocked dam. Well known Midlands photographer
Karen Edwards has a studio on the property and offers family photo shoots
during your stay.
Neighbouring
farms offer horse trails and the berg offers numerous day walks for the
more adventurous as well as rock art viewing. The Hlatikulu Crane Sanctuary
is close by and worth a visit. There are also lots of mountain biking routes
around with some challenging hills offer good training for the more serious
bikers.

As
we are situated at the pivot of the Drakensberg escarpment, Heronmoor is
perfectly positioned for day excursions to Sani Pass and Lower Loteni in
the Southern berg or Injasuthi and Monk’s Cowl in the Central berg. There
are three entrances to the Drakensberg World heritage site within 30 minutes
of the farm, being Kamberg, Giant’s Castle and Highmoor. Our area offers
some of the best preserved rock art sites open to the public and a visit
to Kamberg Rock Art Centre and Game Pass Shelter is a must.
|
| Day
excursions are also possible to Weenen Game reserve (no malaria) and the
Battlefields. For the not so active, the Midlands Meander makes an interesting
day trip with various arts and crafts, local wines and organic foods.
