Beautiful Natal Midlands Farmhouse

CindyRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This was our third time staying at this incredibly charming farmhouse, and once again, it did not disappoint. The property is as beautiful and welcoming as ever, with lush gardens, cozy fireplaces, and more than enough space for everyone to relax and feel comfortable. The location is ideal—peaceful and tucked away, yet so close to all our favorite Midlands gems like Fables, Blueberry Café, Terbodore Coffee Roasters, and The Salt Slab. Whether we were out exploring or simply enjoying the serenity of the farmhouse, it was the perfect long weekend escape. Victoria is a wonderful host—always kind and communicative—and the housekeeper is equally fantastic. Everything is spotless and well cared for, and there’s a real sense of warmth and hospitality throughout the home. This place truly feels like a home away from home. We already can’t wait for our next stay!

A Perfect Peaceful Getaway I recently stayed at this beautiful place in the middle of nowhere, and it was exactly what I needed. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, the location was serene, private, and absolutely stunning. Waking up to the sound of birds and nothing else was pure bliss.

Whether it was enjoying a morning coffee on the porch, or stargazing at night without any light pollution—every moment felt special. If you're looking to disconnect, recharge, and soak in some peace and quiet, this is the place. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming about my next visit. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Doni’s place in Howick. The accommodation is clean, beautifully styled, and incredibly well located—perfectly central for exploring the area. Doni is an outstanding host: friendly, responsive, and welcoming, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The space is thoughtfully designed and very affordable, offering excellent value for money. While the bed/mattress could benefit from an upgrade for added comfort, this didn’t detract significantly from the overall experience. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Howick. A solid 5/5—thank you, Doni, for your hospitality!
