Tranquil setting on a small lifestyle farm, home to a family of dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cows, blesbuck & fallow deer set within 160 hectares to explore, the property has a beautiful gorge which is a short 2minute drive/ 10 minute walk, with a dam that offers catch & release bass fishing. Adventurous visitors can also explore the many caves which the gorge has to offer. Kindly take note this is self-catering accomodation and food should be bought in bigger town's or cities before arrival to the farm due to Breyten - the closest town, not really being a town in which one can buy decent food, besides very basics such as Bread & Milk. All of our units are equipped with Wifi for your convenience Please note that all of the animals at Echo Valley Guest farm are a huge part of the family and it is very likely that you will have close encounters with a lot of them. Our visitors in the Cosy Corner studio as well as in the One Bedroom Melkstal cottage must love dogs as our friendly Ridgeback and Boerbull will be ecstatic to see you when you arrive and will be waiting to welcome you with lots of sniffs, licks and tail wags - #mustlovedogs
Hi, I'm Duska and I'll be hosting you at our tranquil and beautiful lifestyle farm in Mpumalanga. I have 30+ years in the hospitality industry and making your stay as comfy and pleasant as possible is my top priority. Myself and my husband live on the property and we will be available if you need any assistance with anything. I really look forward to hosting you.
Safe and secluded cosy farm Farm lays between Ermelo & Hendrina on the R542 close to a small railway town called Breyten. Half way between Drakensburg & Kruger National Park - South Africa's most iconic tourist destinations. Chrissiesmeer, the Biggest lake district in South Africa is 23kms away from our farm and is a beautiful quiant village that we recommend visiting while in the area
