The Bend Country House
This well established 4 starCountry House dating from the 1930’s, is situated on a magnificent Nature Estate of 1400 hectares. It nestles in a secluded amphitheatre in the foothills of the majestic Drakensberg and is a sanctuary for all who visit.

We have eight elegant on suite bedrooms in the main house and a further eight garden rooms in the adjoining new wing. All have period furniture and each room has its own unique character. We have remained true to the ambience of a country home. Some of our rooms have sofa beds and comfortably accommodate children. Most of our bedrooms have balconies, or open into the garden.

The nature Reserve has 5 Eco-systems, including indigenous forest, grassland, riverine, mountain and pine forest. This stretch of the Mooi River is highly regarded by flyfishermen who enjoy challenging the Wild Brown Trout that have been here since the 1870’s. There are 6 well stocked Stillwater Dams for the fisherman’s further enjoyment.
Other activities include walking, mountain biking and birdwatching.
