Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse

Mountains and lush greenery surround the farmhouse, whose interiors have been decorated with kitchen utensils and a treasure trove of collectables gathered during the couple's years of travel. The atmosphere is elegant but leisurely. The lounge and library are cosy, and there are blazing log fires on chilly evenings. The gardens feature herb patches and lovely rose bushes. Enjoy a spa treatment at the new Copper Pot Spa. Looking for a wedding venue? Cleopatra Farmhouse does functions well. Wi-fi throughout.

Cleopatra has 11 rooms, all designed in elegant farmhouse style. Two private cottages, decorated with personal treasures, and two executive suites each have a private veranda with views to the mountains across the trout-stocked dam. There are also two standard suites and five standard bedrooms, all dressed in super-luxurious style. The beds are huge and warm, dressed with fine linens and mohair blankets; the bathrooms are large, with heated towel rails; and there's a TV and wi-fi.

Horse riding in the Drakensberg is very popular. The beautiful Appaloosa horses will take you over rolling hills surrounded by spectacular mountain cliffs, gullies and buttresses. Trout fishing is available all year. Birdwatching, hiking, swimming, scenic walks and picnics are also popular. The area is also known for its fauna and flora. View the Drakensberg by helicopter, buy treasures at the exciting craft shops on the Midlands Meander, see 3000-year-old Bushman Rock Art and visit the Crane Rehabilitation Centre.
