Stocklands Farm shares a common boundary with the Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve where there are opportunities for walks, bird watching and game viewing. Here you can see the mighty Umgeni River meandering in the valley, giraffes grazing on acacia trees, antelope of all sizes and these beautiful Zebra!

Accommodation at Stocklands is in either in en-suite bedrooms each with their own entrances or in two self-catering cottages.

All rooms have tea and coffee trays, fresh flowers, complimentary fruit and chocolates. Each room is individually and beautifully decorated with meticulous attention to detail and comfort.

Roland's passion for trees has led him to create his own indigenous forest deep in the gardens, where the earth is soft and the ground is littered with Clivias. Eve's love of roses has resulted in over 400 roses that quietly bide their time through the winter months and then burst into so many exquisite colours in spring, when there is just banks upon banks of beautiful flowers. It is a truly magical garden with the edges of the pool room embraced with a carpet of violets & pansies, daisies growing under the blossom tree, old pottery hidden in the soil and sparkling charms hanging from unexpected branches. It is "a garden for all seasons."

At Stocklands we are passionate about providing our guests with the best of local produce. We guarantee that at least 60% of the ingredients that we use are grown, caught, picked or plucked here at Stocklands. If we do not have it, we will buy, barter and bring from our neighbours and local community. In our efforts to combat global warming and help save the planet, we recycle all plastics, glass, metal and paper. The kitchen waste goes to the compost heap, stewing there happily with the ever-obliging donkeys’ manure. Our patient gardeners tend the homegrown fruit and vegetables we serve at breakfast. All the eggs that we serve are from our genteel lady hens ranging free on the farm.
