Rockwood Farmhouse is highly recommended for a break with family/friends. Lots for the kids to do - swimming, tubing and canoeing on the dam plus a massive lawn and a games room if it rains. Awesome entertainment / relaxing areas for adults too - a great lounge with fireplace and 2 comfortable patios. Communication and check-in is easy and clear. 5 stars !

Quick drive from Durban and we were in the Karkloof forest reserve in Rockwood Forest Lodge. Beautiful setting in the forest with a 2km hike to the waterfall when we arrived. All amenities were great like a new oven and The Big Green Egg. Finished off with a beautiful hike to the escarpment. Thank you to Sue and staff for great service.
