You can enjoy fly-fishing our wild trout-filled rivers, challenge yourself with exciting adventure activities or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility and nature of this beautiful valley. Awake in the mornings to breakfast on our sun-soaked verandah and enjoy the silence – only interrupted by the sounds of farm animals, birds and the bubbling river. Gaze in awe at the mountain views and plan your day. Millard’s tranquil valley is surrounded by the stunning mountains of the Eastern Cape Highlands - also known as “The Wild Side of the Drakensberg”. This idyllic setting is the perfect place to unwind. Far away from the stress of urban life, staying on this working farm will revitalize your senses and lift your spirits. We offer reasonably priced catered and self-catered accommodation for groups and families.
