Killarney Farm House has incredible views across the Schagen valley with fabulous bird life and nocturnal wildlife.

The 7-bedroom house is separate from the working farm and surrounded by 6 acres (2.4 hectares) of beautiful gardens and lawns with an inviting swimming pool, veranda, sunbathing deck and outdoor dining area. The house is cleaned and serviced on a daily basis. ACCOMMODATIONThe spacious house is thatched with high open ceilings, fully furnished and decorated to a high standard. It comprises the following: heated swimming pool, shaded veranda with outdoor furniture, sunbathing deck, outside dining area, gas and charcoal barbecues, sitting room with open fireplace and bar fridge.

SERVICESOur domestic staff will work at the weekends and on public holidays by prior arrangement. The maid doesn't do any washing other than towels, sheets and table linen which will be done weekly or as required, so please do your own washing. Drying lines and a tumble dryer are provided. Please note that parties over 6 will have to hire an extra maid at their own expense. PRECAUTIONSThere are mosquitoes around, but Nelspruit and the farm are considered to be a very low-risk malarial area. This means it is highly unlikely you will contract malaria when staying with us. Most local people don’t take malaria prophylactics unless they’re staying over-night in the Kruger Park or environs. That said, Killarney Farm House can't take responsibility for anyone who contracts malaria, so please consult your doctor or travel clinic prior to departure. ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIESNelspruit is the provincial capital of Mpumalanga and the gateway to the Bushveld - in particular the world-famous Kruger National Park, (Malelane gate is 100 km's away) one of the biggest and oldest 'Big Five' wildlife parks in the world. Mpumalanga is a lush, land-locked province, filled with deep ravines, verdant valleys, crystal-clear streams, magnificent waterfalls and plenty of wildlife. It is found north-east of Gauteng, and shares a long border with Mozambique. Mpumalanga enjoys a subtropical climate and is very fertile. There are many huge plantations growing produce ranging from avocado pears to citrus as well as hundreds of thousands of hectares of timber plantations. We are situated approx. 32km from Nelspruit, down 7km of well-maintained dirt road (off the N4 motorway). The house is 370km due east of Johannesburg which takes about 3 ½ hours by car. |
