Sycamore Avenue is a perfect accommodation option for exploring the Drakensberg region of South Africa. This delightful country guest house between Mooi River and Estcourt in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands, has a well wooded with an old fashioned English garden. It is the first stop on the Midlands Meander from the northern approach makes for an easy stop over and on the way between Johannesburg and Durban. Drive through an avenue of splendid Sycamore Trees to our comfortable and charming guesthouse.
The parts of the Dreakensberg that are most easily accessible is the Central and Northern Drakensberg. Giants Castle and Kamberg make for and easy 45km drive. Other parts of the Drakensberg like Royal Natal (Mont aux Sources / Amphitheatre) , Cathedral Peak, Monks Cowl (Champagne Castle / Cathkin Peak), Sani Pass and Underberg Himeville make for excellent day trips.
But Sycamore Avenue is much more than just accommodation. Its uniqueness is
not only talked about in Estcourt and Mooi River rather its becoming a tourist
destination itself. The romantic accommodation in its treehouse that is built
high in an old oak tree
the will bring back childhood memories. Maybe that's
why its called "The House of our Seventh Childhood". The Fantasy House
on the other hand is built into a cluster of Cedar Trees with the branches
hugging the structure. This is the place for exploring your fantasies. The guesthouse itself offers 3 large garden suites
each with their own entrances. Of course what would life be like without dinner
and breakfast and that's what we are good at providing. In our large
artistically decorated dinning room with a cozy fireplace your tastebuds will be
pampered.
Our lounge is a great place to relax before dinner, meet other guests and
enjoy a cocktail.
The garden provides quite privacy for gentle walks, bird watching with beautiful
views of the Drakensberg mountains.
This in a scenic part of KwaZulu Natal Midlands, green in the spring, lush in the summer, with drifts bright yellow & orange leaves in the autumn. Winter brings a promise of crisp cold nights with log fires and old brown sherry.
