Welcome to Ferndene Farm, a gorgeous self catering farmhouse with all the comforts of home, surrounded by an acre of lush, spacious gardens and complete with a tinkling forest stream. Ferndene Farm is nestled in the cool green mist-belt forests of the Dargle Conservancy Area in the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Set on 52-acres of Dargle farmlands, this lovely 1940s dolerite stone and thatch home is ideal for large groups of people and families. Re-built during the second World War, the house was initially used as an agricultural college.
The farmhouse can accommodate up to 15 guests and contains 6 lovely bedrooms. The master bedroom contains a super king size bed and the other 5 bedrooms each contain an extra length queen size bed. There are also 3 single beds for children and a travel cot for babies or toddlers. Each bedroom has electric blankets on the main beds, wardrobe space and a fan to cool off in the summer. The master bathroom is en suite and contains a shower and bath, whilst the rest of the bedroom share the 2 remaing bathrooms. The large middle family bathroom has a bath only but plenty of space.
The lovely large lounge features real Oregon Pine floors and a large stone fireplace featuring a wood-burning stove for those chilly Midlands winter nights. The dining room features an enormous dinig table that is able to convert to a billiards pool and snooker table. The kitchen has a 6 seater table for eating at and its own pantry and servery, so it’s perfect for large groups and families to congregate and cook in together.
The old school veranda, which runs the length of the house, is now a series of open passages where guests can sit and read or browse the photos of days gone by. Sit out or dine in the courtyard garden, or peruse the larger private gardens at guests leisure.
