Wishing you all a wonderful and peaceful Heritage day!

Here at Twinfalls Farm in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands we celebrate not only our human heritage (more details of this for our farm, which is part of the historic Braco farm, can be found here), we also celebrate the amazing natural heritage we have here in the Karkloof mistbelt forest and grassland. As custodians of this precious environment, we are excited to share it with you. Contact us if you would like to make a booking as either a day visitor or for one of our self-catering accommodation options. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Twinfalls Farm waterfall hiking trails have been very overgrown lately, but we have at last been able to get the team to clear them! Contact us to make a booking for our self-catering accommodation in the heart of the Karkloof, or if you would like to just visit us for the day. Please see our HOME page for more details.

Please see a link below from a visitor who hiked to the waterfalls before we managed to clear the paths!

Thank you to Sabelo for the photo of the falls full of water after all this wonderful rain:)

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.
