Kinmel Guest Farm is your gateway to the unspoiled splendor, peace and tranquility that the Southern Drakensberg can offer. We are tucked away in the Eastern Cape Highlands only a 30 minute drive from the Tiffendell Ski Resort. Kinmel and the surrounding Drakensberg area is a nature lover’s paradise. The magnificent mountains, pristine rivers with rock pools and waterfalls and open space with crisp clear mountain air offers the perfect getaway.

The old sheep shearing barn has been converted into modern, spacious, luxurious three bed roomed chalets with two bathrooms each. The chalets are fully equipped for self catering.

Bergstroom Chalet Sleeps up to 11 persons in comfort. Wilgerboom Chalet Sleeps up to 9 persons in comfort. We offer our guests a very child friendly environment. Surrounding the chalets are large lawns with two jungle gyms for the kids and a small, safe, lovely mountain stream murmurs past less than 50 meters away with wide open spaces where everybody can walk, play, cycle or do whatever they desire.

We especially recommend a spit braai around a huge log fire at the Boma on the farm for one of your evenings.
