Property info

Situated on the brow of what was once known as Noble Hill, in the picturesque KwaZulu Natal Midlands and overlooking Giant’s Castle Mountain Range, Rearsby Farm is the place that dreams are made of. With 4 beautiful individually appointed self-catering cottages, all with private verandas boasting the same magnificent views to the discerning traveler in search of country style hospitality, peace, and tranquility. Set in the world-renowned Midlands Meander, explore the vast number of arts & crafts, markets, antique dealers, wine merchants, décor concepts, to name but a few. If its leisure activities you’re seeking, why not try your hand at Fly Fishing, clay pigeon shooting, hiking trails, safaris or hot air ballooning. Bursting with history, why not do a tour of the Battlefields or take a trip up to the caves in the Kamberg Valley and admire the bushman rock art. No matter what your age, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy.
