We offer a variety of charming accommodations on our beloved farm, as we find joy in sharing its beauty and tranquillity with others.
You can choose from:
The Herb Cottage, a delightful self-catering option that comfortably accommodates 4 to 5 people. It boasts its own swimming pool, braai/BBQ facilities, and a well-equipped kitchen. Enjoy lovely walks along the river and through the mountains. It is also wheelchair-friendly.
Frida's View accommodates 4 guests and features a deck with stunning views, a private pool, and a braai/BBQ area.
For a romantic getaway for two, consider staying at Olivia's Secret. Tucked away in the forest, this hidden gem is perfect for a special retreat.
If camping is your preference, Coral Tree Camp, Forest Camp, or the newest addition, Bird Song, are ideal choices. Often described as “glamping,” these sites offer laid-back camping with breathtaking views and excellent facilities. Each campsite is pet-friendly and accessible only with a 4 x 4 vehicle.
Our farm cultivates avocados, macadamias, and herbs, and is enveloped by indigenous forest that climbs the mountainsides into the mist. You can explore the area on our marked trails, wander through the herb gardens, or visit the centrally located Glass Art Studio at the workshop.
While our dirt road is not suitable for cars with low-profile tyres, regular sedans can easily reach the cottages. However, the campsites require a 4 x 4 vehicle for access.
Please note, we only accept two-night stays over weekends.
* Mountain Biking:
This is a fantastic area for mountain biking, with exquisite scenery. Routes range from laid-back to seriously challenging. There are several major bike races during the year which are very popular as well as laid out trails. Your stay at Tupelo Honey Farm is well situated for your biking enjoyment in the Haenertsburg area and surrounding mountains.
* The Kruger Park:
The biggest game reserve in the country is only 1 ½ hours away, so a day trip is an easy option, going via Tzaneen and Phalaborwa. Or why stop there – you can go through the game reserve directly into Mozambique and on to the coast!
* Debegeni Waterfalls:
Lovely natural waterfalls ½ an hour away – take a picnic and your swimming gear. Enjoy the majesty of the falls, where you can walk, braai, swim and sunbathe or just relax to the sound of the rushing water. The birds and butterflies are abundant so look out for the Cambridge Blue butterfly or Mountain Wagtails flitting between the pools.
* Golf and other Sports:
For the golfer there is the beautiful Tzaneen Country Club, offering a challenging 18 holes. The famous Merensky Golf course at Phalaborwa (where lions , elephant and other wildlife often join your four ball) and the Polokwane course are top class venues and bowls, squash, tennis and horse riding are also available.
* Fishing:
Magoebaskloof has some of the most stunning trout waters in the country. You can fish the local dams and rivers by prior arrangement with the Haenertsburg Trout Association or private land owners. Brown and Rainbow trout populate the waters. For bass, carp, kurper and yellowfish the nearby Tzaneen and Ebernezer dams offer wonderful sport, and spectacular birds and wildlife.
- Trees:
We are surrounded by wonderful indigenous forests, through which you can wander and enjoy these incredible trees. A tree lover's delight – Forest Fever trees, Tree fucias, Waterberries, Wild Figs, Matumis and Mitserie are but a few of the stunning trees you will encounter on our lovely river walk. Woodbush forest is on our doorstep, second biggest indigenous forest in SA.
- Animals:
As we live in a forest, there are still wild animals to be seen. Bush buck and bush pig are regularly spotted in the mud along the river, and porcupine often leave a quill or two along the road. We also get civets, genets and honey badgers. Endangered Samango monkeys are abundant and you can hear them chattering in the trees.
- Butterflies:
The butterflies around here make this a magical place if you just take time to watch them drift past. Watch a lovely mocker swallowtail flit around the pineapple sage or a yellow pansy sunning itself on the deck or a mother of pearl gleaming in the forest. Lekgalameetse Nature reserve is nearby where even more can be spotted and it’s a good place to take a picnic for the day!
- Birds:
You will hear or if you are lucky see the elusive Narina Trogan in September and October. This is the forest birding paradise! Sightings of Black Fronted Bush Shrikes, Orange Thrushes , Green Twinspots , Purple and Knysna louries, Grey Headed parrots , Long Crested , Crowned and Black Eagle are just a few of the more than 150 species recorded here.
