This property, which is almost 40 years old, was bought by the present owners in 2006. It was rezoned for high density housing development. With the help of local architects, Leach and van der Walt, it has been extensively renovated and extended. The establishment is named KhayaMini, due to its location in KwaZulu-Natal and in Mini Avenue.

Newcastle nestles in a curve of the Drakensberg escarpment, surrounded by beautiful hills and valleys on one side and the rolling landscape of KwaZulu-Natal on the other. It is surrounded by the historical battlefields of the Zulu and Anglo Boer Wars and approximately 90km from the Blood River and Ncome museums.
