Nestled in the heart of the Kwazulu Natal Midlands, Beacon Vlei Guest Farm offers luxurious B&B and self-catering accommodation with a touch of history. Our 50 acre private dam, and the surrounding wetland area, is home to hundreds of beautiful bird species, as well as large brown and rainbow trout.
Two charming dwellings exist on the farm. The Boat House (self-catering) and The Manor House (bed & breakfast) are both elegantly, appropriately and comfortably furnished.
The Boat House , which is situated 20 m from the dam's edge, is a picturesque, fully equipped, thatched cottage. It consists of one en suite bedroom, a very large living room with a bunk alcove and sleeper couch, and a second bathroom.
The Manor House is a large charming and comfortable country house which has two en suite double rooms and one family suite. All the rooms boast sweeping views of the dam and surrounding countryside. Breakfast is served in the elegant dining room which is warmed by a roaring fire in winter.
The Crane cottage is a newly built Natal Farmhouse style cottage which has 2 king bedrooms both en suite, a large open plan living, dining and kitchen area. There is a large fireplace and Flat screen Tv in the living area and a double sleeper couch.
