CENTRAL LOCATion

PEACE & TRANQUILITY

AUTHENTIC FARM & COUNTRY LIFE

Your stay in the Midlands is meant to be an escape to the country!

Newstead Farm exudes charm and elegance, and a significant history that dates back to the late 1840s. A rural smallholding, with horses, pastures and a 700-tree plum orchard, this is a small piece of heaven in a lush and indigenous valley close to some of the top golf courses, restaurants and forest walks in the country. Located 3km from the Balgowan / Bosch Hoek N3 highway turn off, between Johannesburg and Durban, close to the villages of Balgowan and Nottingham Road. There are many wonderful restaurants to enjoy in the area.

What an amazing find with the most incredible hosts and food for the soul surroundings.The location to explore what the Midlands have to offer is just perfect.

What makes Newstead Farm an authentic Midlands destination?

Our cottages, rooms and historic family homestead aren’t designed to keep you at arm’s length from the country. Nestled in the rolling hills and surrounded by horses and cattle, Newstead gives you the chance to experience the true peace and tranquility of the country but is able to offer this from a superbly central location. It’s good, clean, country living that is so good for the soul but unlike so many other true country escapes, doesn’t require a degree in off road driving to access!

“It’s hard to think of a destination in the Natal Midlands that has a better location yet hasn’t sacrificed that true country ethos better than Newstead Farm”

– James Williams, owner of Hidden Gems Travel Co. and Midlands resident for 20 years. Click here to review more reviews on TripAdvisor
