We have added 2 more accommodation option to the Twinfalls Farm experience:

We have an old “Hanger” that could be used for camping. It is a very large open space, with a closed in ablution area. Perfect for large groups who enjoy the rustic experience. Situated right next to the Mholweni River, and just down the road from our self-catering cottages.

And for an even more rustic adventure, there is “Will’s Hut” up on top of the world – with the spectacular view of the beautiful Midlands, mystical natural Mist Belt Forest and Grey Mare’s Tail Waterfall, and majestically ‘guarded’ by Mount Gilboa. This very basic wooden hut is 4x6m, with a small water tank with rain fed water, and simple long drop. So, it is similar to sleeping in a cave – bring along all that you will need for a never to be forgotten get away!

Great excitement as a very healthy population of Brown Trout was re-discovered in the Mholweni river, right next to our Twinfalls Farm self-catering cottages!

Uncle Willy stocked the river with trout years ago, and we were not sure how they are doing. Avid fly-fishing angler staying in our cottages recently sent us these photos with the wonderful news that the Brown Trout are doing well. Uncle Willy would be thrilled!

What an exciting weekend we have coming up! Not only is Twinfalls Farm sharing our beautiful piece of natural heritage with the Three Cranes Challenge (trail run), but we will also see enthusiastic E-bike riders enjoying our wonderful farm. AND its all for a good cause – fundraising for the conservation of the unique Karkloof mountains and valleys, so that future generations can enjoy this special environment!

Twinfalls Farm is very excited to be involved once again with the Three Cranes Challenge. The Karkloof Conservancy has hosted the Three Cranes Challenge over the past 12 years, and we have allowed them to use our farm for their race routes.

This year the race is set for the 23 – 26th March 2023.

This unique trail running event, located in the Karkloof, is hosted in support of the Conservancy’s conservation efforts. The race offers runners unparalleled majestic views, stunning trails through grasslands, farmlands, forests, past wetlands and other natural features. It is a guaranteed personal adventure! On many different levels.

Please contact us here at Twinfalls Farm self-catering accommodation if you would like to book for this weekend, and stay right here on the route! Time is running out…

After all the rain we have had some beautiful sunny days here in the Karkloof, KZN, South Africa. Please see attached some photos and a video sent to us from guests. They hiked up through the plantations behind the TwinFalls Farm cottages and into the midlands mist-belt grassland – a rare biome that we are actively conserving for future generations.

We are now experiencing a heat wave and so would like some more rain – but not as much as we had a few weeks ago!!

We have just had a very wet few weeks here at TwinFalls Farm in the Karkloof. Please take a look at some pics of the swollen Mholweni river that runs in front of the Twinfalls Farm cottages, and along our access road. Luckily all guests were safe and enjoyed some R&R in our comfortable TFF self-catering accommodation!

P.S. An adult male bushbuck was spotted getting washed down the river in front of “Ellem” but thank goodness he was seen safely escaping into the grassland further downstream.
