The Old Mushroom Farm - 11 Karkloof Road
The Old Mushroom Farm is situated in the picturesque KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, only 6.5km from Howick on the Karkloof Road. As the name suggests, the farm was once used to grow mushrooms, but has since been renovated into modern accommodation and is now an attractive destination for the whole family- including pets! The farm shed (the Loft), a mushroom growing tunnel (the Tunnel Apartment), grow-rooms (the Boutique Apartments), and staff housing (the Cottages) have been artfully converted into a unique self-catering accommodation experience. There is plenty to do and see on the farm with multiple shops, restaurants, kids play area, food garden and more also on the property. Work out at the gym, grab a morning coffee, pick up some fresh bread, and forage for your lunch- all a short walk from where you’ll be staying. Bring your bike! TOMF is nestled amongst the best mountain biking single tracks in Southern Africa. Looking for a venue for your next conference or event? We have the facilities, plus accommodation for your guests (TOMF accommodation sleeps up to 71 people).
