AfriCamps at Gowan Valley - Rental only
Resort overview
AfriCamps at Gowan Valley is located between Nottingham Road and Lidgetton in the area of Balgowan in the Natal Midlands. Right in the heart of the Midlands Meander. The Midlands Meander route is popular for its relaxed atmosphere, picturesque countryside and welcoming people.
Five brand new AfriCamps luxury tents are situated in the new camp at Gowan Valley Guest Farm. With all the comfort of a permanent structure – proper furniture, bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a solid wooden floor – they still preserve the romance and atmosphere of staying in a tent. Both bedrooms are furnished with a queen size bed and have their own private entrance which allows maximum privacy. One of the bedrooms also contains an extra single bunk bed, so the tent will comfortably sleep a family of 5. Tents are equipped with an air conditioning unit to keep you cool during those hot summer nights and a private bathroom with a hot shower cabin, washbasin and flushing toilet.
Balgowan is a farming area, well-loved for cycling and fishing in the many dams and streams. The Midlands caters for a wide audience from foodies to adrenaline junkies, to serenity seekers – all in the beautiful and mystical surroundings. The farm is truly enchanting with its rolling green hills, endless fields, and mighty river. You will experience an ‘English countryside’ feeling, whilst you are welcomed with true South African hospitality. Pass through indigenous forest to see the enormous 500-year-old Yellowwood tree, walk along the Mpofana River, see the newly planted kiwi fields and Nguni cattle. Take strolls through the gorgeous rose gardens on the farm and settle down at a grassy picnic spot next to the crystal clear river which flows strongly through the farm. Take a dip or try your luck and catch yellow tail or trout – strictly catch and release. In surrounding areas visit the Howick and Karkloof falls, experience the Karkloof canopy tour, trek the Midlands on horseback, visit the Nelson Mandela Capture site and spend some time at the popular Piggly Wiggly for family fun and sumptuous meals.
Whether you're coming to the area for a wedding, to explore the Drakensberg Mountains or to play golf at some of the country’s most beautiful courses, you are definitely in for an unforgettable stay at AfriCamps at Gowan Valley.
