Enaleni Guest Farm

 
 

Description

Nestled in the country, 6 km from the N3, between Durban and Pietermaritzburg you will find a unique guesthouse on a working agro ecological farm. Accommodation is available as a B and B or self-catering basis.

All rooms are en-suite. A major feature of the guesthouse is the dome in the main living area. Here you sit in the lounge with an open fireplace in winter or sit on the stoep overlooking the garden and the farm with a 180-degree view. The bulk of the meals come from the farm, freshly picked and wholesome. This is a working farm so you can experience life amongst the animals or take a stroll in the orchards or orchid houses. Some of the animals include a registered herd of Nguni cattle, endangered Zulu sheep, dogs, old-fashioned poultry and a Spanish Donkey called Gundagunda.

Enaleni Guest Farm has won the SAB 2011 Eat In Award for best South African Heritage Farm. The farm is preserving our heritage by keeping a herd of Nguni cattle, endangered Zulu sheep, growing rare, local maize varietals and the traditional ibhece melon.

Visiting Enaleni is an opportunity to experience an unusual working example of agro-ecological farming. A type of farming that draws from the vibrant heritage of KwaZulu-Natal in an environment that is restful and casual surrounded by abundant agro-diversity.

Delightful treasure
Ruth Boake, South Africa
12 December 2011
My daughters and I stopped over on our way back from the coast. It was a delightful find. Apart from the beautiful views, there was so much to learn. The farm is inhabited by indigenous farm animals - and these were beautiful and unusual, from the Inguni to the Zulu sheep and pigs. The orchids were beautiful. David and Richard were very hospitable and the cottage was a delight.

Our weekend of relaxation
Nadia Gabriel, South Africa
20 June 2011
We had the most relaxing and rejuvenating weekend at Enaleni. The cottage is so cosy (even in the dead of winter). The rooms are luxurious and the owners extremely friendly and welcoming. The best aspect however, were the animals! Being from the city it was quite unusual for us to wake up and see three pigs cavorting in the front yard! Only to be followed by donkeys, cows, sheep, goats and lots of adorable dogs! Loved it! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend th ... more
Comrades and Dusi Events

It is a very convenient guest house for the Comrades and any Dusi Event. We were doing the Dusi Mfula and it was less than a few minutes away from the start. Accommodation was beautiful and hospitality was fantastic.
