Kinmel Guest Farm & Lodge

 
 

Description

Kinmel Guest Farm, offers much to those who want to break away from the rush of city life – Experience the breathtaking beauty and spectacular views of mountain peaks and valley gorges. Peace, tranquillity and a wonderful relaxing experience await our guests. Summer views offers the splendour of cascading waterfalls and lush Green Mountain sides in contrast to the magnificent autumn colours and winter reds, which offer perfect night skies, and picturesque snow covered mountains.

This piece of paradise is situated in the southern Drakensberg range, in the North Eastern corner of the Eastern Cape Highlands. A mere 1.5 km outside the Historic Village of Rhodes.

We offer self-catering or bed and breakfast accommodation to our guests who will have the benefit of a farm stay in modern, spacious, well equipped accommodation, yet are still very close to the amenities Rhodes has to offer.

Enjoy invigorating hikes in the surrounding mountains, swim in the river or play in the rock pools, go fly-fishing, walking, bird watching and mountain biking. Savour the scenery on our many 4x4 trails, enjoy a leisurely picnic beneath the willows down by the river, or you can simply put your feet up, relax and enjoy the splendour which the Southern Drakensberg has to offer
Wild rainbow trout swimming side by side with elusive Yellow fish abound in the Bell River, making it a fly-fisherman’s paradise. Kinmel has its own stretch of the Bell River, specifically reserved for our guests only. The region also boasts a number of dams and more than 200 km of rivers and crystal clear running water in which to cast your fly.

We also are a fully functional active farm where guests and especially children are invited to acquaint themselves with a variety of farm animals. We fully support the principles of Eco-tourism. Defined as responsible travel to natural areas, which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people.

Nice
Pieter Onderwater, South Africa
26 December 2011
It was nice. But keep in mind that Rhodes can only be reached by an easy gravel road, so plan your travel time well.
Basic but nice
Zurk Botha, South Africa

Very basic but neat and clean with a fantastic view.
Surprise!
John Briscoe, South Africa
26 October 2011
What a wonderful one-night stay - great value and comfortable. The units are particularly suited to families and groups of people such as cyclists or adventure bikers.
Fabulous
