Description

Gowan Valley Guest Farm is a B&B in the heart of the Natal Midlands, being a 4.5 hour drive from Johannesburg and just 1.5 hours from Durban. It is centrally situated within the popular Midlands Meander route and is 2,5 km from Michaelhouse School and 1.8 km from Orchards Wedding Venue.

We offer a variety of rooms to choose from, all have their own en-suites. There are 6 unique rooms in the thatched house, 2 rooms are attached to the River House and 5 large and spacious garden rooms. We can sleep 26 (+3) in total.

We have 2 lounge areas for guests to use and the thatch house has an honesty bar for all to enjoy. Included is a hearty full farmhouse breakfast with a variety of cereals, yoghurt, seasonal fruit, tea coffee and delicious fruit juice.

After a great night's rest, the guest farm is a place where you can enjoy the pleasure of watching the Nguni cattle or walking the farm. Gowan Valley offers the perfect accommodation for wedding guests, those who want to roam around and enjoy the fresh Midlands air, and business travelers alike.

There are plenty of fun activities for the active such as golfing, mountain biking, and hiking, to name a few, and the Midlands Meander provides ample opportunity to relax, do some exploring, enjoy some fine dining and great coffee.
