Flitwick Ranch

I had the pleasure of spending two nights at Flitwick Ranch and it was truly a memorable getaway. Nestled on a working cattle and horse farm near the Southern Drakensberg Mountains, Flitwick offers a peaceful and scenic retreat that feels like a world away. The accommodation is uniquely charming – beautifully furnished with great attention to comfort, from plush bedding to luxurious linen. I felt instantly relaxed and totally safe walking through the farm, surrounded by horses and the gentle sounds of nature. The presence of roaming farm animals adds a truly authentic feel to the experience. One of the most calming moments was the quiet of the night – no traffic, no city sounds – just the gentle chorus of frogs in the distance. It’s the kind of stillness that helps you truly switch off. There’s plenty to do at Flitwick – from walking the numerous scenic hiking trails to horse riding, canoeing on the dam, or casting a line for some peaceful fishing. The Silver Oak Restaurant served up delicious meals, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented by the friendly staff. What stood out most, however, was the warmth and hospitality. The owner and team – Katie, Jurie, and Irene – were incredibly welcoming and took the time to sit in the sun and share their story with me. The staff as a whole were friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. If you're looking for tranquillity, heartfelt service, and a genuine farm stay experience with plenty of the great outdoors, I can’t recommend Flitwick Ranch highly enough.

Usually when one looks at the activities and everything you have an idea of what to expect. Here my expectations were blown to bits. Each offering at Flitwick Ranch was really passed value for money. My wife wouldn't have spent her 30TH birthday anywhere else! She's already telling me about all we're going to do on the next trip. I'm already telling her all we're gonna do. There's just a whole lot to do for the whole family! My little girl already knows exactly what she's doing when she's back! This was the perfect trip!

Made to feel very welcome in a beautiful, peaceful location. … Attention to detail and a true home-from-home experience. Thank you!

Thank you Marie, and all the staff at Flitwick Ranch for the wonderful experience. Your food was Tasty, Rooms cozy, and the people fantastic. I hope to return next year

What a lovely experience! We stayed at Flitwick Ranch for one night on our way to the coast. The people working there were amazing and SO welcoming. Our room was beautiful and had everything we needed. The food was amazing!! Please do yourself a favor and order their garlic snails, absolute 10/10. Kind people and a very serene atmosphere. We will always revisit Flitwick Ranch anf recommend it for anyone!

Stunning property! Great food and very friendly and helpful service and the best massage ever. The owner told us the history of the farm and area which was fascinating. Lots to do for families but also peaceful for couples. Highly recommended.
