Company information

My husband and I have lived at Wyford Farm for over forty years where we have farmed, raised two children and now enjoy sharing Wyford with visitors in our self catering, farm style cottages.

Property information

Wyford Farm is situated in a pretty mountainous area off Van Reenen Pass (N3) and has a rich recorded history being built in the 1870's as a Trading Store on the route between Johannesburg and Durban. It is now a small working farm with beef cattle, pigs, sheep and horses which visitors may interact with. We are approximately 40 km from either Ladysmith or Harrismith and day trips are possible to Battlefield sites and Northern Berg resorts. We offer comfortable accommodation in separate and private self catering units which each have their own braai area and garden and are serviced daily. Wifi available in some units. Pets can usually be accommodated on request. Poplar Cottage looks on to a dam and has a fenced garden. It has one bedroom with a double bed and en suite shower bathroom. There is a second bedroom with 2 single beds and a second bathroom with bath. Upstairs in the loft there are 4 single beds and a double sleeper couch. The living area is large and incorporates the well equipped kitchen, dining area and lounge with a fireplace. There is a covered braai area in the garden and a car port.

Neighbourhood information

Day trips can be taken to the Northern Drakensburg resorts or to the Golden Gate National Park as well as the Battle sites round Ladysmith such as Spionkop and Talana near Dundee.
