Company information

Nampaton Farm is a family-owned working farm and farmstay located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Built around a tranquil private dam, the farm combines modern guest accommodation with authentic rural charm. Alongside our farmstay, we are active in crop farming and beekeeping, producing seasonal harvests and pure natural honey. Our vision is to create a sustainable destination where visitors can relax, reconnect with nature, and experience the harmony of farm life.

Property information

Nestled in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, halfway-way between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, Nampaton Farm is more than just a getaway — located in Peacevale/ Drummond area, it’s a working farm where nature, comfort, and authentic country living come together. Overlooking a tranquil private dam, our farm offers guests the rare opportunity to unwind in a serene lakeside setting while still experiencing the heartbeat of farm life. We’re proud beekeepers, with thriving hives producing pure, golden honey right here on the farm. The bees are an essential part of our ecosystem, pollinating our fields and reminding us of the beauty of balance in nature. Alongside our bees, we cultivate seasonal crops that reflect the richness of our soil and the rhythms of the land. When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a room — you’re becoming part of a living, breathing farm. Whether you’re here to relax by the water, enjoy farm-fresh produce, or simply reconnect with nature, Nampaton Farmstay offers a peaceful escape with a touch of countryside charm.

Neighbourhood information

Nampaton Farm is located in Peacevale next to Drummond, a scenic part of KwaZulu-Natal known for its rolling hills, fresh air, and close-knit farming community. The area sits just outside Hillcrest, offering the perfect balance of countryside peace and convenient access to modern amenities. Peacevale is a tranquil farming region, famous for its open landscapes, dams, and smallholdings where crops and livestock thrive. Drummond, just a few minutes away, is best known as the halfway mark of the Comrades Marathon, attracting visitors and runners from around the world. The neighborhood is dotted with farm stalls, nurseries, and local eateries, making it a charming stop for those seeking authentic rural experiences. Despite its peaceful setting, the area is only a short drive from Hillcrest’s shops, restaurants, and the M13 highway — giving you the best of both worlds: quiet farm living with city convenience nearby.
