Drakensberg getaway Kinmel Guest Farm

KINMEL GUEST FARM
RHODES, SOUTHERN DRAKENSBERG

About

THE FARM KINMEL offer the perfect getaway. Take on the dirt roads, your only way of reaching the nearby conservation village of Rhodes, and be rewarded by a complete break away from everything.

Simply stop, take it all in, breathe, surrounded by a quietness, only the mountains can offer.

These magnificent mountains, pristine rivers with its rock pools, open space with crisp clear mountain air, are guaranteed to still your mind and enlighten your senses!

We offer comfortable, private, fully equipped, fresh and easy to live in self catering chalets, perfectly situated close to the village of Rhodes and a perfect stay-over spot for day trips.

Kinmel Guest Farm is the perfect break away, without being completely secluded. The Guest Chalets are surrounded by out-stretched lawn with plenty of space to play and run. You will find enough space for you and your companions to be all alone, but at the same time surrounded by the everyday farm activities and animals. Night time offers unparalleled star gazing, as well as complete privicay with the large farm manor close enough for comfort.

Daytime hiking on the farm offers a possible glimpse of the endangered Bearded Vulture as well as various other wild life and spectacular flora.

Kinmel is situated in close proximity to the foot of the famous Naude's Nek Mountain Pass, offering spectacular mountain passes roundabout routes as well as some of our country's best fly-fishing spots.

Enjoy Kinmel's own stretch of this fly fisherman's paradise on the Bell River, specifically reserved for our guests.

Other spectacular mountain passes in the area include Lundean's Nek, Barkly Pass and the well know Bastervoetslaanpad.

Take on the 20km from Kinmel towards Ben McDui, at 3001m the highest peak in the Eastern Cape, next to the (currently closed) Tiffindell ski resort.

"The [Maloti] Drakensberg Mountains are an exquisite and mysterious living landscape.

The formidable cliffs, rocky gorges, rugged mountainsides and wilderness areas contain an abundance of life and a colourful kaleidoscope of cultures.

The Southern Lesotho and North Eastern Cape region is fascinating not only for its historical and prehistoric relics, with numerous rock art and fossil sites, but also for its scenic drives through beautiful green valleys with crystal clear streams and crisp, clean air.

The region is known for its wildwater fly-fishing, and is an excellent spot for flowers in the right season."

Ons het dit baie geniet baie dankie. Ons grootste wens het vanoggend waar geword…toe ons by die venster uikyk was dit spier wit gesneeu!!
Van Biljonne 07/2015
Thank you so much for your hospitality and for affording us the opportunity of enjoying the wonder and beauty of God’s creation –

Thank you so much for a most enjoyable stay. The farm is beautiful the cottage most comfortable and conveniently situated. The girls had such fun feeding the lambs and playing on the farm. We’ll definitely be back.

I have wanted to visit this area for years and it exceeded my dreams. Truly magical. Thank you for a warm house!
John & Wendy 05/2017
...After our 3rd year in Rhodes, we finally found the lap of comfort, luxury and beauty! We so appreciate the superb accommodation, amazingly comfortable beds, outstanding bathrooms and of course the warm generosity, and the other amenities. A VERY big thank you...
Michelle, Mark & Gregg 07/2014
We loved this Victorian cottage with its dormer windows and bedrooms in the eaves, the whispering willows in the evening breeze and the murmur of the stream below us. But best was the run up the mountain in such dramatic surroundings - our lungs definitely felt the thin air!!!...
Marielle, Hirsh & Keith
What a breathtaking view! Kinmel - the perfect stay over between taking on some of the most wonderful and "daunting" mountain passes of the majestic Drakensberg! Could not have asked for more!
Danielle, Dave & Tristan
Beautiful area, lovely spacious cottage, helpful owners
The countryside around Rhodes is spectacular. We wish we had been able to arrive earlier so that we could have done one of the walks described in the well presented information brochure in the cottage. The cottage is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and clean....
Jeff 04/2013
...we had absolutely everything we needed from teaspoons to towels. A pleasant spacious chalet, friendly staff and the star feature, the fireplace in the lounge with loads of wood. What a pleasure. Highly recommended.
Mercia 03/2013
Baie geniet ─ ek gee nie sommer 5 sterre nie! Bespreking en betaling was gemaklik en ek het meer gekry as verwag.
Baie positief ervaar en sal met vrymoedigheid weer van LekkeSlaap en Kinmel gebruik maak. Eienaar was besonders vriendelik en behulpsaam.
Jors 05/2015
This was value for money and the owner and his family is very friendly. The views is stunning and the silence even better.
Gideon 07/2019
Heerlik. Ongelooflike omgewing.
Het oor Naude's Nek in die sneeu gery. Dit was 'n belewenis. Het baie hulp gehad met reëlings t.o.v. bergpasse, wat is toeganklik en wat nie. Heerlik gekuier.
