Midlands gem with amazing views!

Inversanda Farm Cottages was the perfect Midlands escape. The breathtaking views combined with a warm and welcoming atmosphere made our short stay unforgettable. We’ve found our go-to retreat in this beautiful part of South Africa. Highly recommended.

A true farm experience! Beautiful views and sunsets with all around farm sounds.

Peaceful and quiet stay with beautiful views and rich animal life. The hosts were warm and friendly, and very helpful. Would love to return for a longer period of time to go on more walks in the area. It is quite isolated, so be aware that driving in and out every day to explore the Midlands might be a bit of a drag, especially in a normal or low profile sedan. No TV in our cottage, which we didn't mind at all, as we loved the fireplace and listening to the sounds at night. Good WiFi connection!

Outentieke plaashuis omring deur asemrowende natuurskoon.

Pragtige, outentieke en karaktervolle plaashuis met ruim kamers, groot sitkamers met lekker kaggel vir saans kuier. Kan nie uitgekyk raak aan die ongelooflike natuurskoon rondom die plaashuis. Aandete en ontbyt in eetkamer met groot tafel en ook kaggel. Kos baie lekker met heelwat tuisgemaakte bestanddele. Wonderlike gasvryheid van die eienaars met baie interessante stories van die plaashuis. Almal in ons groep van 11 was baie beïndruk met Inversanda.

Authentic farmhouse surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Beautiful, authentic and characterful farmhouse with spacious rooms, large living rooms with nice fireplace for evening visits. Can't stop looking at the incredible scenery around the farmhouse. Dinner and breakfast in dining room with large table and also fireplace. Very tasty food with lots of homemade ingredients. Wonderful hospitality from the owners with many interesting stories of the farmhouse. Everyone in our group of 11 was very impressed with Inversanda.

Lekker stil en rustig op die plaas, 'n heerlike wegbreek van die stad.

Die eienaars was gaaf en vriendelik en het ons Vrydag met 'n heerlike aandete bedien. Ryk voëllewe en lekker staproetes. Daar was intussen twee kalwers gebore. Die hoenders en perde het ons een oggend kom groet. Pragtige natuurskoon.

Quiet and peaceful on the farm, a lovely break from the city.

The owners were kind and friendly and served us a delicious dinner on Friday. Rich bird life and nice hiking trails. Two calves had been born in the meantime. The chickens and horses came to greet us one morning. Beautiful scenery.

Wonderlike plaasverblyf in die Midlands.

Ons het baie lekker gebly in die cottage (ons is opgradeer) en het die regte plaaslewe en beeste naby geniet. Wens ons kon langer bly en verder explore! Die eienaars is besonder vriendelik en het aan elke versoek voldoen.

Wonderful farm stay in the Midlands.

We had a great stay in the cottage (we were upgraded) and enjoyed real farm life and cattle nearby. Wish we could stay longer and explore further! The owners are particularly friendly and have met every request.

Pragtige natuurskoon en 'n lekker wegbreekplek.

Lekker rustige plaasatmosfeer, eienaars is wonderlike mense wat ingestel is op hulle gaste. Kombuisie is net vrek klein met net genoeg spasie vir een persoon.

Hi Mabel,
Many thanks for your review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay!
The one negative to the private wing is the kitchenette, but in winter it is always popular as the sitting room gets all the winter sun and the fire is the best on the farm. The next time we must put you in the barn cottage where there is a full and large kitchen.
All the best for 2022.
Best wishes,
Lucinda

Heerlike oornag vanaf Hole in the Wall terug na Pretoria.

Ons het 'n heerlike oornagverblyf by Inversanda gehad. Die eienaars was vriendelik en behulpsaam, selfs toe ons in die middel van die plantasies verdwaal het op pad na hul. GPS werk nie, so volg liefs hul roete. Ongelooflike mooi area op 'n heerlike en rustige plaas. Pragtige, groot, ruim huis. Ons sal beslis onthou vir die toekoms.

Lovely overnight from Hole in the Wall back to Pretoria.

We had a lovely overnight stay at Inversanda. The owners were friendly and helpful, even when we got lost in the middle of the plantations on our way to them. GPS doesn't work, so just follow their route. Incredibly beautiful area on a lovely and peaceful farm. Beautiful, large, spacious house. We will definitely remember for the future.

As jy wil wegkom van die gewoel in die stad is hierdie net die plek. Ongelooflike omgewing, uitsig en akkommodasie. Bietjie off the beaten track maar dit werk vir ons.

Uitstekende gasheer - ons is geskuif na groter allenstaande plaashuis met onverbetrlike uitsig oor die plaas. Dit is bietjie verder van die hoof-attraksies in die Midlands maar sal werk as jy wil wegkom van die gewoel. Die plaaspad kan bietjie van uitdaging bied vir gewone sedan.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is just the place. Incredible setting, view and accommodation. A little off the beaten track but it works for us.

Excellent host - we were moved to a larger detached farmhouse with an unbeatable view of the farm. It is a bit further from the main attractions in the Midlands but will work if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. The farm road can offer a bit of a challenge for ordinary sedans.

Perfect spot to relax and unwind

If you want to find peace and quiet and enjoy off the beaten track holidaying, then Inversanda is the perfect destination. The hosts are so friendly and charming, the accommodation is well-equipped and neat as a pin. We will definitely be back in 2021!

Vars plaaslug met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Ons gashere Lucinda en Tom het uit hul pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is gerieflik. Die akkommodasie het alles wat mens nodig het en is heerlik ruim. Die mooi stoep wat op die pragtige berge uitkyk 'n bonus. Hoewel ons deel van die plaas was, en die diere kon geniet, was die verblyf baie privaat en 'n kaggel met oorgenoeg hout het vir 'n heerlike atmosfeer gesorg. Die plaas is ook naby genoeg aan die toeriste-aantreklikhede maar ook ver genoeg om rustigheid te verseker. Ons het heerlik gekuier!

Fresh farm air with a beautiful view.

Our hosts Lucinda and Tom went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The accommodation has everything you need and is wonderfully spacious. The nice porch overlooking the beautiful mountains is a bonus. Although we were part of the farm, and could enjoy the animals, the accommodation was very private and a fireplace with plenty of wood provided a lovely atmosphere. The farm is also close enough to the tourist attractions but also far enough to ensure tranquility. We had a great time!

Midmar weekend 2020.

Pragtige uitsig, ongelooflik rustig.

Ons het die berge en die stilte wat daarmee saamgaan opgesoek en gevind by Inversanda. Fantastiese uitsig oor die berge, die beeste was so vriendelik, pragtige goed versorgde plaas. Die gasheer en gasvrou was uiters gasvry en het seker gemaak ons is gelukkig en het alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

Beautiful view, incredibly peaceful.

We sought out the mountains and the silence that goes with them and found them at Inversanda. Fantastic view of the mountains, the cattle were so friendly, beautiful well looked after farm. The host and hostess were extremely hospitable and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed.
