The property is conveniently located about 1.5 hours from Howick and 1 hour from Kokstad, making it an ideal stopover between Johannesburg and the South Coast or Wild Coast.

Accommodation is available across a variety of units to suit different group sizes and preferences. Oak Tree Guest House features 8 en-suite rooms, each offering the option of king-size or twin beds. All rooms include en-suite bathrooms fitted with both a bath and a shower, as well as tea and coffee-making facilities and a TV with DStv. Guests have access to free parking, free WiFi, and an on-site à la carte restaurant, with accommodation options ranging from bed and breakfast to self-catering and full board.

The cottage features an open-plan kitchen and lounge area that opens onto a patio with mountain views.

Two additional self-catering cottages are available, each suitable for couples. These units include a bathroom, kitchenette, and braai facilities, and are accessed via wooden decking that crosses a small waterfall, enhancing the scenic setting. Dragonfly is a 3-bedroom self-catering cottage that accommodates up to 6 guests, with the main bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms share a separate bathroom with a shower.

Castle View Glamping Tent offers a luxury self-catering experience with an en-suite bathroom, a private deck, and a braai area overlooking the Garden Castle.
