Set in the beautiful bushveld of the Natal Midlands, 10km from Estcourt and the N3. Slievyre – A private nature reserve provides the perfect place for family reunions, quiet holidays, romantic getaways or just an overnight stop.
The camp is situated in one hectare of fenced mature lawned gardens and consists of five traditionally built stone and thatch chalets. The camp comfortably sleeps fifteen people and extra beds can be arranged if required. Three of the chalets are twin/double, one sleeps three people with the fifth being a six bed family chalet. All have private/en-suite bathrooms and the kitchens are equipped with all self-catering facilities. Catered options are available if you prefer. Our meals are home cooked and we try to use as many homegrown ingredients as possible.
Fresh bedding and towels are provided for every guest and the chalets are cleaned daily.
Two lapas adjoin the chalets, both have tables and chairs and built-in braai (barbeque) fires, they are cleaned daily and the firewood is restocked
