Skirted by neatly lawned gardens that border onto spacious grass lands, Mountain View Guest House snugly rests in clear view of the Biggarsberg Mountains. Magnificent views of both the Endumeni and Mpati peaks are visible from mostly every window of this gracious farm-style house. Each of the 5 luxurious rooms opens onto spacious verandas encircling the house, offering country freshness, peace and tranquility for the revival of one’s senses. Entrance to the property is motorized and electrically fenced, ensuring complete security and confidence of safety.
Positioned close to Glencoe town (approx 2km) on the main route from Ladysmith to Dundee (approx 7km), it is a central and an equally convenient location for the business and tourist traveler wishing to explore the many historic attractions on the “Battlefields Route”.
This is a farm-like property where a number of animals roaming the grass lands create an additional attraction. We have 25 Emu originating from Australia that are rarely seen elsewhere. This is a bird similar looking to an Ostrich, with a smaller frame. These flightless birds tend to stay close to the fence skirting the garden from where they stretch their necks wanting to get a closer look at any movement of humans. They are tame and curious, often walking close to one when entering their camp. Donkeys and Ponies peacefully roam about, and ducks are mostly hiding in the lush grass or splashing about in their pond.
Lights filters gently into the lounge where guests are invited and welcomed to enjoy the comforts of this room - for TV viewing on large screen, reading or simply relaxing.
The cozy dining room is open to guests at all times where the coffee station kettle is constantly steaming away to fill the cups over any of a large selection of beverages.
The spacious bedrooms are extremely inviting with its crisp & neat luxuriously dressed beds, stylishly fitted and furnished in superb quality. Each en-suite room is fitted with flat screen TV, air conditioner and coffee tray.
