The Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse is in the most beautiful Kamberg Valley in the Drakensberg Mountains the Giants Castle Nature Reserve, it is located just below the Highmoor Dam. The Farmhouse is in a magnificent setting with splendid views of the mountains and running with crystal clear streams and waterfalls in the Drakensberg Mountains, KwaZulu-Natal.

It provides its guests with a home away from home where peace, tranquillity and solitude can be enjoyed to their fullest. This country retreat is approximately 4.6 hours from Johannesburg and 2 hours from Durban and can be reached via good roads.

Dinner is a 7-course culinary feast with the gourmet chef, Richard who spends hours hunting down local and imported ingredients of the highest quality such as flying in fresh salmon from Norway and procuring good Parma hams and cheeses from Italy. Guests are invited to stay here to savour the many flavours of excellent country cooking.

The hotel provides horse riding which is 12 minutes away from the Country Estate where the most beautiful Appaloosa horses can be found. The rides are approximately 2½ hours in duration, and they cater for non-experienced and experienced riders.
