I find that a place is made special by how it makes me feel. Our Masinga somehow does exactly that - it makes you feel uplifted and nurtured. Beyond the photographs. Beyond the reviews - there is a feeling. Masinga is good for the Soul. For sure.
Masinga is situated at the furthest end of our property - for good reason. It offers privacy. We value your privacy and offer you everything and more than you would expect. You leaving happy is of paramount importance to us. I guess what contributes to it being special is that this is a place that we love. We love sharing it with our family and friends, and now, we get to share it with You.
Masinga is a destination. Most find it difficult to drag themselves up and off the daybed swinging in the Yellowoods but if you do - we have a fabulous Saturday farmers' market. A 40-minute drive will take you to the start of the Midlands Meander route. Hiking, mountain biking - this is the place. Giba, Everton and Kloof gorges are a stone throw away. Horse riding at Summerveld and dams at Shongweni and Inanda. If you are into all things Touristy - we are at the start of the 1000 hills route. Awesome local restaurants and Uber and Mr. Delivery when you just cannot be asked to get up, put on your tiara and go out.
