Dinners are available on request by prior arrangement. Farm fresh produce is used to create dishes with love and care which makes dining at Dusk to Dawn an unforgettable experience. Dusk to Dawn dinners have earned a reputation where good quality ingredients get the respect they deserve by turning them into fabulous meals.

ACTIVITIES

Dusk to Dawn is situated on an attractive farm, 1800 ha in extent, with a variety of farming activities. These include: a large modern piggery, dairy, beef farming, maize and timber. Viewing of these different activities is possible by arrangement.

For children the garden is an absolute amusement park featuring a solar heated swimming pool, tree house with adjoining jungle gym and hammock and pony rides in the garden

Walks on the farm and hikes to the unspoiled picnic spot will offer the keen birder an opportunity to see some of the more than 160 bird species frequenting this farm. Furthermore, Dusk to Dawn is within easy reach of some of the Northern Natal Battlefields, Itala or Mkuze Game Reserve or even for a day visit to the Kingdom of Swaziland.

Enjoy a leisurely walk through lush pastures and grazing cattle towards a bird hide overlooking a reed bed and a dam. Break away to the private picnic spot where indigenous trees and abundant bird life and the sound of rolling water from the river will calm your soul.

Location favolosa nella profonda campagna Sudafricana. Un'esperienza unica con panorami bellissimi. Disponibili villette con grandi vetrate complete di porticato, cucina, salotto, camera e bagno con doccia e vasca panoramica. Possibile cenare acquistando cibi e vini ottimi preparati da loro. Risulta nelle vicinanze una porcilaia e, se il vento soffia nella direzione sbagliata, si può sentire un po di odore, comunque merita sicuramente.

Wir haben hier unsere Südafrika-Rundreise begonnen und es war ein toller Start. Unser Appartement für 3 Personenn war sehr lliebevoll eingerichtet, so richtig zum Wohlfühlen. Die Gastgeber Gudrun und Johan sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und sprechen auch beide deutsch. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen (das Gudrun kocht) sind hervorragend. Man kann auf dem Gelände der Farm schöne Spaziergänge machen und ist mitten in der Natur. Danke für die schönen Tage.
