Reached only by a winding 4 x 4 track, Toppingvale lodge is for the adventurous and young at heart. Arriving at the lodge is like discovering a jewel. Nestled in the mountains with forest tumbling off cliffs, streams bumble past the lodge on either side, joining to form the Assegaai River which runs the length of the valley criss-crossing down to meet the Mankazana river.
This ancient treasure is guarded by Khoi-San Rock paintings, crowned eagles and yellowwood lined waterfalls. The shy bushbuck are frequent guests in the garden and family groups of mountain reedbuck can be enjoyed from the lodge.
Large sash windows frame the beautiful views of forest, mountains and valley floor, echoed by the views from the stone veranda which generously wraps around the house. The lounge and dining rooms are cozy, with aged wooden floors and log fires adding to the ambience. The Farm kitchen is fully equipped and inviting in itself with an old shop counter in the center, often the heart of the house.
Four en suites boast king size beds or singles. The modern country style bedrooms have large bathrooms with generous tubs for soaking and good showers. Beautiful views of the valley can be enjoyed from ones bed.
The plunge pool is fed from the mountain stream and offers welcome cool after a hike in the mountains. A fire pit and braai area are inviting in the evening where guests can exchange tales of the day whilst mesmerized by flame and night offerings.

Stanley Lodge, known affectionately by locals as the Grange, has recently been lovingly restored. Wide verandas wrap around the house with numerous cozy corners to enjoy a cup of tea and cake or a quiet drink whilst watching zebra graze on the lawn.
With stately proportions, the lounge and dining room are kept warm and inviting with a crackling fire in the grate. The generously large farm kitchen is fully equipped and a dream when catering for large families and crowds.
Four en suite bedrooms boast king sized beds or singles dressed in quality linen and luxurious down duvets. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with double doors opening on to a patio. The afternoon sun streams into the rooms in winter making them ideal for lazy afternoon reading.
Loungers around the swimming pool beckon and a fire pit is the natural attraction as the sun starts to set. Comforting sounds of owls and night jars are the perfect accompaniment to the array of stars in the night sky. The inside braai area is tucked behind the bar, enclosed on the veranda and is ideal for inclement weather and cooler nights.

Mbila Bush Camp is modern but simple, uncluttered but comfortable. Comprising three self-catering cottages, tucked away next to the Mankazana River, under high cliffs with spectacular rock textures: Thekwane, a wooden tree house set high against the cliff with a white stinkwood growing through the bedroom and a natural cliff-faced shower, a delight for children; Ntini, a cozy en suite wooden cabin and Mbila, with its generous deck and large glass doors make sundowners a favourite time of the day. Interior fittings and furnishings are wood throughout and the thatched roof and stone floor lend the cottages a cool country aroma.
