- The establishment relies so heavily on the lure of Nature that what should have been a recharge for body, mind and spirit turns into a battle to survive cold, heat, drafts, mosquitoes, flies, fleas and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements.
Is the perfect balance between both worlds for that revitalising experience REALLY possible? Situated in the province of Mpumalanga, only two-and-a-half hours from the economic hub of the PWV, the farm nestles in a valley of breathtaking beauty 20 km from Carolina town. The overwhelming feeling when encountering the rustic homestead, self-contained guest accommodation, trout dams, wattle plantations; the many-hued grasslands across the valley and up the mountain slopes (often covered in a multi-coloured frenzy of flowers) is one of peace, tranquillity, and admire the beauty of God’s creation that is so stunning that it actually hurts. No sounds of traffic, pumps running (the farm gets its water from five natural fountains) or pop entertainment. Just peace and quiet with beauty and tranquillity. The interior of The Dragonfly living unit is a pleasant surprise – all modern conveniences, but in a setting blending perfectly with the aura of the farm. What to do except chill and recharge? Walking on the farm and koppies boasts spectacular views; a choice of picnic baskets are available to enjoy under the beautiful shady trees; trout fishing; swing-ball and board games for the young (and young at heart); a guide in guest units to fun games for the whole family; art and craft classes for the ladies and art objects and paintings for the interested buyer. Drives can be arranged to the main lookout point (with a breathtaking panorama unfolding before your eyes) for sunset cocktails.
