Situated on Glen Afton Farm, at the source of the Karkloof River and 10km from the village of Nottingham Road, Glen Afton Country House lies near the hub of the Kwa Zulu-Natal Midlands, and conveniently only 2 km from the N3 Freeway.
The original settler homestead dates back to the mid 1800’s but has been extensively renovated and extended and offers luxury accommodation in six suites, each individually and tastefully furnished.
After a hearty country breakfast, a leisurely walk on the 80 ha farm with its over 140 bird species may reveal wild reedbuck, bushbuck or duiker and other small game. A visit to our farmyard pets is a must for children and adults alike. There may be a calf or a foal to be fed……
Three dams are well stocked with Rainbow trout, and Large-mouth bass take both fly and lure in the warmer months.
Try a game of pool or darts or, for those who want to take things even slower, just laze around the garden or in the guest lounge with a roaring log fire on cold winter days, reading and relaxing, revitalizing and restoring the soul in our haven of peace.
Only 9kms from Nottingham Road and 6kms from Fordoun Health Spa.
Our central location also offers convenience for those attending functions at any of a number of country wedding and conference venues.
