Situated 14km north of Barberton on the R38 Kaapmuiden road, within the Barberton Mountainlands nature reserve. Ideal for birding depending on season. Out of town and no suburban noise. Accommodation is provided on a bed and breakfast basis (full English breakfast)) with dinner on request provided you advise us before arrival if we should prepare dinner for you. Malelane Gate (Kruger National Park) is only about an hours drive from Old Coach Road and within an easy reach for a day visit. For an early start, we will do a breakfast pack for a day visit. Alternatively, take the day out to explore the Barberton Geo Trail and learn more about the geological history of Earths formation. Barberton is a UNESCO World Heritage site for geology and is famous for the greenstone formations.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

  • Do you guys offer Dinner?

    Dinner is offered as we are about 15 km from Barberton town. Choice in Barberton is limited. Dinner is a set menu and cost will depend on what the offer is for the evening. It is best to pre-book dinner when you make your reservation and also advise us of any special dietary requirements such as vegetarian, allergies etc
