Brookfield Farmhouse

Brookfield Farmhouse - accommodation in Hilton, Kwazulu Natal

Description

Differentiated between a country lodge and a stay-on-a-farm, the Brookfield Farmhouse hospitality approach is a single-minded focus on stylish B&B suites and personalised service in a natural environment for all seasons.

This establishment has its roots firmly settled in the fertile and bountiful Hilton valley, with views towards the Karkloof and the Drakensberg mountains. Less than 12 minutes drive from the city of Pietermaritzburg and just down the road from Hilton Village, Brookfield is an environment filled with peace and tranquility that has been created to ensure that guests feel pampered and relaxed.

A renowned bed and breakfast establishment, Brookfield Farmhouse is on the doorstep of the well known Hilton and St Anne’s College private schools. The Hilton College Theatre positively fizzes with artists and crafter’s energy, ideas and creativity during the festival times.

Our love of nature offers guests insight into the mysteries of indigenous flora and fauna. During your stay, see if you can spot the endangered blue crane, during breeding season, often found in the railed paddocks or the shy Oribi and many bird species, which abound on the farm surrounds.

Whatever your passion - birding, photography, walking, running, theatre, experiencing Africa's rhythm of the land, savouring the beauty of our natural resources or simply visiting world heritage or historical battle sites - we make it our primary business to accommodate you in style and to exceed your value expectations.

We also have our own Cafe, Brookfield Cafe, which is now open Wednesday to Sunday 8am - 4pm serving breakfasts, teas and light lunches.

Climate

Brookfield Farmhouse, located at almost twice the height above sea-level at 1200m, enjoys a reliable annual rainfall in excess of 1000mm. No small wonder the Midlands always appear lush green year round. At this elevation near the Drakensberg watershed, summer temperatures may range from 20°C to 30°C during the day, often with dramatic afternoon thunderstorms. Evenings are cool with occasional thick mist, so caution should be exercised if you are driving.

Winters are crisp to freezing cold with light frosts and clear sunny days. Daytime temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C, while night temperatures frequently drop to around 2°C. So you are advised to bring a set of warm clothing.
