We had an absolutely amazing stay at Cooperleigh. It was exactly what we needed for a family weekend catch up. We live abroad and came back to South Africa for some travels and to meet up with family and wanted to do an early family Christmas dinner and Ashleigh even arranged for a Christmas tree and lights for us which was so lovely and unexpected. The house was very clean with all the cooking and cleaning utensils you could need. Anything else we needed Ashleigh was just a message away and happy to help. He kept us informed about the loadshedding schedule and helped with back up power if we needed it. The views are lovely and the walks in the area are beautiful. Inhlazane mountain is nearby as well and was a fantastic little hike. The midlands meander is not far and it's easy to explore the cute cafes and galleries in the area. I would highly recommend this property.

The Thatch Cottage was spacious and well equipped. The fireplace and braai area ensured cosy indoor and outdoor living areas. The breakfast was delicious and prepared thoughtfully and with great care by Ruth, Anne and the team. Sunrise over the valley was stunning. Hiking to and up iNhlosane Peak was an unforgettable experience. Kate's team went to great trouble to ensure we had a generator to be able to watch the rugby. Thank you!

The beautiful scenery of mountain and wildlife while driving to the property. The cottage style and furnishings are absolutely breathtaking. The decor reflects the nature outside.
In the morning you are greeted by wildlife in front of the cottage and we were able to have coffee on the stoep with deer standing on the lawn.
The area offers a lot of unique dining options but should you want to you can prepare absolutely anything in the kitchen as you’ll have everything you need.

Penny is an amazingly helpful and friendly hostess (who also provided us with delicious cake and bread!). This is the second time we have stayed at Mission House as it's perfect for family gatherings. It's spacious enough to host a large family or friend contingent without feeling that you are under each other's feet all the time, and the large sized pantry cupboard and the fridge/freezer combo, along with other mod-cons like dishwasher etc. mean that you really can settle in for a few days of relaxed bliss on their farm. Magnificent views of rolling hills, a spectacular light-show offered by a thunderstorm in the afternoon, and friendly horses and cows meandering around the house made for a deeply relaxing stay. The horribly pot-holed Curry's Post Road has been dramatically improved since our last visit, and new water pumps around the house made for a much-improved bathing and showering experience (the first time we stayed, we felt rather bad because the taps spewed water out rather wildly, so this was a big improvement). The location - because it is now more accessible to drive on thanks to road improvements - is also ideal for exploring the Midlands Meander, and nearby coffee shops mean that you don't need to go far for your early morning fix.

Beautiful country setting with clean air and rolling hills.
Beautiful country setting with clean air and rolling hills. I stayed at Tanglewood Country Hotel which I highly recommend. Had supper at Post Postino which has amazing wood fire pizza and live music on most evenings. Dessert at Piggly Wiggly belgium chocolate cafe (just 10mins from the hotel). And for activities, the Karkloof canopy tour (40mins from the hotel) which I which could have lasted the whole day. I'll definitely be returning to the same places to spend longer!

The area is a great escape from the city life. Mostly friendly people. If you dont eat pork be very wary and mindful of the fact that Dargle is predominantly pork serving.
Driving around Dargle is a gem. The Mandela Capture Site was a highlight of our journey - filled with history and so informative.
The quaint restaurants are a pleasure to look at.
Overall, a pleasing trip, 1 or 2 not so nice feels from the people, but the overall vibe was good.

We did not explore the area so can only report on the route we travelled which was very picturesque with places to stop along the Midlands Meander. The tarred roads were good. Naturally the gravel roads were gravel roads. Emogene, Carroll and Melody.
