An Idyllic 2-Night Midlands Meander Getaway

Description

Escape from the city to the Midlands Meander with a 2-night stay at Pennylane Guest House!

This is the deal:

• A 2-nights stay for 2 people
• A R50 bonus voucher per person towards a Canopy Tour or Horse Riding Experience

Relax, rest, and explore KwaZulu-Natal’s lush countryside with Pennylane Guest House as your living quarters. Midlands Meander, surrounded by mountains and rolling farmlands, is the perfect weekend retreat for creatives and appreciators of beautiful things.

Found north of Pietermaritzburg, the 80km arts and crafts route brims with pottery dens, art shops, leather houses, cheese and chocolate factories, and places to enjoy wine and beer tastings. The knickknackery isn’t the only thing visitors will be impressed by; the Midlands has a quiet country charm that encourages visitors to relax and forget life’s troubles. Breathe in the fresh air and admire the unspoiled views.

If the world of arts and crafts does not entice you, then perhaps an outdoor adventure will tickle your fancy. Horse riding, hiking, tubing, biking, canopy tours, quad biking, and fishing are all possible options. The Midmar Dam is yet another attraction worth visiting. Quiet for most of the year, the dam brims with activity during the ever-popular Midmar Mile, the world’s largest open-water swimming event.

Indulge your senses at Piggly Wiggly Country Village; there is a lovely coffee shop selling baked goods and freshly roasted cups of coffee, as well as a family-friendly pizzeria. There is even a wine estate, Highgate Wine Estate, open daily for wine tastings.

Stop at Chocolate Heaven if you’re a chocolate lover. Belgian chocolates with unusual fillings, like nougat, lavender, chilli, and biltong are available for tasting. Be sure to take a box or two home with you.
