Location was beautiful and peaceful, but if you wanting to explore the Midlands it is a bit far for daily excursions. The hosts Mark and Lee go the extra mile to make you comfortable!

Mark, Lee & The Hounds (Far Away Place)
Escape the ordinary at Far Away Place—your idyllic, off-grid oasis in the heart of the KZN Midlands Meander! Say goodbye to load-shedding and hello to uninterrupted relaxation with our fully solar-and-inverter-powered stays. Nestled on the scenic Curry’s Post Road—just 5km from Fable & Tap Room Eateries and a quick drive to charming Nottingham Road or Howick — we offer three uniquely breathtaking escapes: Dashy Cottage (Sleeps 5): Soak in serene dam and expansive pine forest views. Nguni Cottage (Sleeps 6): Marvel at lush green fields and the stunning Karkloof Cliffs. Luxury Treehouse (Sleeps 3): Hide away in a secluded, romantic retreat overlooking 800 hectares of untouched private forest. Unwind or Explore Whether you want to cast a line in one of our two picturesque dams, take a wild swim, or hit epic local mountain biking trails, adventure is right on your doorstep. Far Away Place took us 5 years of searching to find - the reason - we wanted uninterrupted views where you feel like you have the countryside to yourself - endless views, serenity, Mother Nature in all her glory. Chill. Breathe. Relax. This is the magic of Far Away Place. Prefer a cozy day indoors? Sink into Queen XL beds draped in luxurious Egyptian cotton, cook up a feast in your fully equipped kitchen (complete with a gas stove), or curl up in your spacious open-plan lounge with a 43" 4K Smart TV. Bonus: We’re pet-friendly! Bring along up to two well-socialized dogs (by prior arrangement and subject to our pet policy - additional charges apply). Your perfect, power-outage-free Midlands Meander getaway awaits!
Welcome to our little slice of heaven in Curry’s Post! We’re a proudly gay, married couple who love meeting new people, sharing stories, and welcoming guests from all walks of life to our off-grid sanctuary. Here is what makes a stay with us uniquely special: The Welcoming Committee: We share our home with eight incredibly spoiled, adorable dogs (seven lovable Dachshunds and one sweet SPCA rescue). Fair warning: We are enthusiastically dog-obsessed, so if you aren't a dog lover, our farm might not be the perfect fit for you! Fly-In Ready: Aviation enthusiasts, take note! We have a private airfield on the property and love exploring in our Sling TSi. If you'd like to fly in with your own aircraft, just reach out to make arrangements. At Far Away Place, our philosophy is simple, inspired by William Wallace: "Every man dies. Not every man really lives." Come join us, embrace the adventure, and discover how beautifully close "Far Away" can be!
Your Gateway to the Midlands Meander Nestled in Curry's Post—one of the most authentic, tranquil, and least commercialized corners of the KZN Midlands—our property is the ultimate launchpad for your local adventures! We are just 12km from the bustling hub of Nottingham Road and perfectly positioned to explore the region’s best attractions: Iconic Sights: The Mandela Capture Site, Howick Falls, Mooi River, and Balgowan. Outdoor Adventure: BoschHoek Golf Estate and the magnificent Drakensberg mountains (Kamberg is just a scenic 30-minute drive away!). Eat, Drink, & Explore Like a Local As avid foodies and travelers, we know all the hidden gems. Consider us your personal concierges! Whether you are looking for the best craft beer, a cozy café, or a phenomenal dinner, just ask—we love sharing our top local recommendations. The Road Less Traveled To reach our spectacular, secluded views, you will navigate about 6km of dirt road from either the Curry's Post or Nottingham Road side. Don’t let this intimidate you! It is generally in good condition, and even our small farm car handles it with ease. Escaping the crowds is absolutely worth the scenic drive—trust us! (Tip: If you have any concerns about current road conditions, just drop us a message when making your booking).
