Description

Oakvlei Farm is a beautiful farmhouse located in Mooi River, KwaZulu-Natal. The farmhouse is part of Niekerksfontein Farm, which is a working dairy farm in the Natal Midlands. Whether guests want to overnight en route to the coast or inland, explore the numerous attractions of the Midlands Meander, or just relax and unwind in the tranquil surroundings, guests of Oakvlei Farm are well on their way to a memorable, peaceful trip.

The farmhouse features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a guest bathroom. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower. The second bedroom has a double bed, and the other 2 bedrooms have 2 single beds each. These rooms share a bathroom equipped with a shower and a bath. There is a separate guest toilet.

The farmhouse offers a large separate kitchen, 2 lounges and 2 fireplaces. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and contains a gas stove, an oven, a fridge-freezer, a microwave, cutlery and crockery. The lounge areas feature comfortable couches, a dining table with ample seating, a TV, and free Wi-Fi is available.

Outside features a sunny patio with a seating area, a fenced garden and beautiful views of the outstretched green lands. There are braai facilities available, and firewood is supplied, but guests are required to bring along their own charcoal. Ample parking is available on the premises.

Guests are welcome to wander in the natural fields which are home to Oribi, Reedbuck, Duiker, as well as nocturnal Aardvarks, Brown hyenas and Porcupines. The farm has an abundance of birds visiting, with 28 pairs of Blue cranes and 12 pairs of Crested cranes previously counted on the pastures. There is a small dam on Oakvlei in front of the house that has bass in it if guests would like to fish. There are 3 catchment dams and 2 holding dams that are stocked with bass on Niekerksfontein Farm, which is approximately 4 km from Oakvlei. The top catchment dam is stocked with trout, so guests are more than welcome to bring along their own rod. For the more adventurous and energetic, there are some good mountain bike rides and a more strenuous hike through the gorge up to the small waterfall during the rainy season. Milking and calf feeding take place twice a day.
