Inverness Farm

Come and share the quiet tranquillity of our working farm in the beautiful Caversham Valley, KwaZulu Natal Midlands. Inverness Farm is centrally situated, right in the heart of the popular Midlands Meander route, within easy reach of the finest restaurants, schools, spas, galleries and wedding venues in the country. This area is also a premier MTB and Trail Running destination in the country with miles and miles of single track and forest to explore right on our doorstep. We have a dedicated bike washing area, and can even arrange for your dirty cycling gear to be laundered overnight for you, ready for your next ride. There are also amazing hikes to go on. We are off the grid, totally self-sustainable and we farm with conscience, but don’t expect any compromise in quality or standards. We have all the mod cons powered by solar and gas and energy-efficient appliances are used throughout. We do, however, ask guests to be mindful of this and use the resources economically. Whether you want to overnight en-route to the coast or inland, explore the numerous attractions of the Midlands Meander, train for Joburg to Sea, or just to relax and unwind in our tranquil surroundings, come and enjoy the fresh country air and our warm hospitality.
