OVERVIEW
Mount Park Guest Farm is situated in the beautiful Upper Dargle region of the Kwazulu Natal Midlands at the foot of the Inhlosane Mountain. The 344 Hectare plot is a working beef far, with 40 of those hectares made up of natural forest. The balance is made up by the mountains, a large natural vlei and some timber and grasslands.
On your bike
No formal trail, but plenty of good riding on gravel roads and singletrack through indigenous forests. The mix of timber, mountains, vlei and grasslands is sure to keep you on your toes (and, hopefully, your pedals).
Off the bike
Choice of self-catering homestead, cottage or chalet accommodation with option of catering if requested. Small caravan park also available with electricity and braais.
