Nestled in the foothills of a picturesque and uncommercialized part of the Drakensberg, Horseshoe Farm truly is an undiscovered gem. A place where you will be received with old fashioned hospitality and leave as part of the family. When you come, come hungry as our cuisine is inspired by farm living and we make use of only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients (our meat comes from our own fields) and our portions are designed for hard working men. So escape the city to find some peace and come home to the nostalgia of good living and slow food.
Guests are welcome to take part in the day to day of farm life with activities such as cattle and sheep counts, dam fishing and mountain hikes. The area is also great for adventure bikes, mountain bikes, trail runs and 4×4. Horseshoe Farm is a mere 4 hour drive from Durban or Johannesburg – and about 30 minutes from Newcastle. With a passion for personal service and quality, Horseshoe Farm is the perfect place for a getaway, wedding, group retreat or conference.

Die kamer was baie netjies en die kos ongelooflik lekker. Die eienaar is ook vreeslik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Alles vanaf die uitsig van ons stoepie af tot die moeite wat vir ons gedoen is, alles was puik. Ons sal beslis binnekort weer gaan kuier.

Horseshoe Farm is pragtig geleë in die berge naby Normandien. Ondanks baie reën was die grondpad geen probleem nie. Ons gastekamer was baie gerieflike en skoon, maar ons het ongelukkig nie ‘n privaat badkamer/stort gehad nie. Die ontbyt was baie lekker en die diens vriendelik. Ek sou Horseshoe beslis aanbeveel vir familie byeenkomste. Die tuin is pragtig en groot met ‘n lekker lapa en bied baie speelplek en die leef areas is ruim en gemaklik.

Ons het oornagverblyf gesoek in die area. Was aangenaam verras. Karraktervol. Goeie ligging. Rustig. Puik diens. Sal volgende keer meer as net 1 nag daar spandeer.

Om by Horseshoe oor te bly, is soos om by geliefde familie te kuier. Jy word ook só behandel. Pragtige plaas met die mooiste tuin. Vriendelike gasheer.

Ons was aangenaam verras met ons verblyf by Horse Shoe Gasteplaas. Ons het wellkom en tuis gevoel. Ons het saam met buitelandse gaste en hul jong kinders gereis. Die aandete en ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke. Die omgewing is lekker rustig en stil, ‘n regte plaasatmosfeer heers. Die gasheer is uiters bedagsaam en baie moeite word gedoen om die ervaring vir die gaste so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Ons kom weer kuier.
