Tupelo Honey Experience

We offer different accommodation on the farm as we love it so much we realised what fun it is to share it with others. You can choose from: The Herb Cottage, which is one of the self-catering cottages, has space for 4 or 5 people and has its own swimming pool and braai/BBQ facilities, and a well equipped kitchen. There are lovely walks along the river and in the mountains. Wheelchair friendly. Frida's View has space for 4 and a deck with a great view, a private pool and braai/BBQ area. For a romantic getaway for 2, come and stay at Olivia's Secret. Hidden away in the forest, you could easily miss this gem - give it a try! Then if you love to camp, Coral Tree Camp or Forest Camp is the place for you – some people have called it “glamping” but its really laid back camping with perfect views and facilities. You book out either campsite but they are only accessible with a 4 x 4. Both campsites are pet friendly. The farm grows avocados, macadamias and herbs and is surrounded by indigenous forest, disappearing up the mountainsides into the mist. You can walk around to explore the area, or visit the Glass Art Studio which is centrally located at the workshop. It is not recommended to bring a car with low profile tyres on our dirt road but normal sedans will manage to get to the cottages easily. The campsites can only be reached with a 4 x 4 vehicle. Please note we only take two night stays over weekends.

Area Info

Mountain Biking:
This is a fantastic area for mountain biking, with exquisite scenery. Routes range from laid-back to seriously challenging. There are several major bike races during the year which are very popular as well as laid out trails. Your stay at Tupelo Honey Farm is well situated for your biking enjoyment in the Haenertsburg area and surrounding mountains.

The Kruger Park:
The biggest game reserve in the country is only 1 ½ hours away, so a day trip is an easy option, going via Tzaneen and Phalaborwa. Or why stop there – you can go through the game reserve directly into Mozambique and on to the coast!

Debegeni Waterfalls:
Lovely natural waterfalls ½ an hour away – take a picnic and your swimming gear. Enjoy the majesty of the falls, where you can walk, braai, swim and sunbathe or just relax to the sound of the rushing water. The birds and butterflies are abundant so look out for the Cambridge Blue butterfly or Mountain Wagtails flitting between the pools.

Golf and other Sports:
For the golfer there is the beautiful Tzaneen Country Club, offering a challenging 18 holes. The famous Merensky Golf course at Phalaborwa (where lions , elephant and other wildlife often join your four ball) and the Polokwane course are top class venues and bowls, squash, tennis and horse riding are also available.

Fishing:
Magoebaskloof has some of the most stunning trout waters in the country. You can fish the local dams and rivers by prior arrangement with the Haenertsburg Trout Association or private land owners. Brown and Rainbow trout populate the waters. For bass, carp, kurper and yellowfish the nearby Tzaneen and Ebernezer dams offer wonderful sport, and spectacular birds and wildlife.
