Ashton Wold Estate is located 26 kms from Howick, close to the Karkloof Reserve, on the KZN Midlands Meander.
This idyllic farm is reached at the end of dirt road. The road can be tricky in wet weather so a high clearance or 4×4 vehicle is advised.
Ashton Wold Estate is the ideal place to literally take a break and get away from it all. There is no WiFi, no TV and limited cellular coverage.
Fishing for bass in the two well stocked dams is free for booked guests, as well as canoeing, and there are trails for cycling, jogging and hiking.
Pets are welcome as long as they are on a leash as there are cattle, horses and sheep in the meadows.
