Magoebaskloof/ Haenertsburg, Valley of the Olifants, Limpopo

Welcome to Kuhestan Farm in the Magoebaskloof Mountains, home to indigenous Afro-montane forests, pine plantations, blue gum trees and babbling brooks. This is a place whose tranquility will soothe the most furrowed brow.

Kuhestan Farm is an organic avocado farm, surrounded by forests on all four sides. It boasts one of the most beautiful gardens on the mountain with an impressive Orchid collection. It offers self-catering cottage accommodation for nature lovers, birders and everyone who is in search of peace, quiet and beauty.

Touching the edge of an expanse of evergreen Afro-montane forest, Kuhestan Farm overlooks the home of the rare Samango monkeys. Only in a few unique places does one have the rare opportunity to come face to face with these graceful little apes. Samangoes are seen around the farm and in early summer raid both peach and plum trees on the farm.

Pay us a visit and experience a warm welcome and a cozy stay at the farm cottages. Touching indigenous Afro-montaine forests on the crest of the majestic Magoebaskloof pass and situated in the grounds of an organic avocado farm, rest the Kuhestan Farm Cottages. Each of the four cottages comprises a fully furnished, double (or two three-quarter beds) room, with its own en-suit bathroom - including a heated towel rail. Serviced daily, each cottage is tastefully furnished with easy chairs in front of a wood-burning fireplace and a fully equipped, quality kitchenette. The cottages are designed for couples, or couples with children who can be accommodated in an adjoining cottage, which is connected through an inter-leading door.

Complimentary provisions include home baked bread, muesli, farm fresh eggs, milk, butter, fruit, tea and coffee – all yours to enjoy for a self-catering breakfast. Braai facilities are available.

With easy access to all the various activities on offer in the area, the Kuhestan Farm Cottages offer an unforgettable experience for all who visit us.
