Midlands Lifestyle

Quiet farmland all around with grazing blesbok, a soundtrack from nature

Cedarwood House is designed for easy living, shared moments and relaxed country comfort. Set on a working farm just outside Hilton and Howick, the house offers generous space, thoughtful details and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel instantly at home. Whether you are here for a family getaway, a group of friends, or a quiet country escape, everything has been created to make your stay comfortable, memorable and unhurried.

At the heart of Cedarwood is a spacious open-plan living area inspired by classic farmhouse design and Pompeii-style architecture. High ceilings, exposed beams and flowing spaces create a wonderful sense of openness, while the layout naturally brings people together. The large lounge features deep, comfortable couches arranged around an impressive fireplace and a big-screen TV with Netflix, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The open flow into the dining and kitchen areas keeps everyone connected, whether cooking, relaxing or sharing stories around the table.

The fully equipped country kitchen is one of the highlights of the house and a favourite gathering spot for guests. It features a gas stove with an electric oven, generous prep space, a farmhouse-style island, and a fully equipped scullery. There is a dishwasher, washing machine, multiple fridges, microwave and coffee station, with tea, coffee, sugar and milk provided. The large dining area seats everyone comfortably and is ideal for long, relaxed meals together. Daily cleaning is included unless otherwise requested, allowing guests to truly switch off and enjoy their stay.

Cedarwood offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, whether you are feeling active or simply want to relax. There is a large swimming pool for warm Midlands days, a covered verandah with outdoor seating, and several braai options including a built-in concrete braai, a gas braai and a Weber. Firewood and charcoal are available on request. Guests can enjoy friendly competition with the table tennis table, make use of the full-size tennis court with rackets and balls, or shoot hoops at the basketball area.

The property is set on beautiful farmland with wide open spaces, fresh air and peaceful surroundings. A scenic dam with a lapa and braai area offers the perfect spot for sundowners, while catch-and-release fishing and a paddle ski provide entertainment for children. Gentle walking paths wind through the property, with picnic spots scattered across the grounds. Two families of blesbok roam the land, and neighbouring cattle often graze nearby, adding to the authentic farm atmosphere. Birdlife is abundant, and the sunsets are something truly special.

For comfort and convenience, Cedarwood offers free Wi-Fi, undercover parking, daily cleaning service, and a secure setting. The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to twelve adults and four children. Solar power and gas geysers ensure that load shedding never interrupts your stay.

Cedarwood House is more than just a place to sleep. It is a space designed for connection, comfort and memorable moments. From long lunches and fireside evenings to early morning walks and lazy afternoons by the pool, everything here encourages you to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of country living.
