Description

Set in the heart of Kwazulu Natal Midlands, Balgowan. Stunning views over the Caversham Valley - wake up to mist covered hills and the sound of bird calls.

Irish Mist Estate is a family run business and we have been here for over five years. We offer excellent self-catering accomodation, with a choice of two options to suit any budget.

Our cottages are evenly spaced for optimum privacy and to take advantage of the views. Set in beautiful gardens. The Midlands meander offers so many interesting shops and restaurants - over 100 places to visit. We are located right in the middle of the meader - only 3kms from Michaelhouse.

Beside all these attractions on the meander, Irish Mist Estate has a unique indigenous forest on the estate with walking trails. The forest boasts exotic trees - four species of Yellowwood, a natural spring which feeds the main dam, a number of small game - Duiker and Bushbuck, and extensive bird populations including the Lourie and rare Cape Parrot.
