A Peaceful Farm Retreat in the Heart of Mpumalanga Tourist Attractions – Oppi Plaas Abek

Located five kilometres from Hazyview, Oppi Plaas Abek, is a working farm. This self-catering guest farm, where English and Afrikaans are spoken, is a delightful retreat where you can relax and experience the peaceful farm environment.

If you arrive during litchi season, in December, you will be welcomed with a bunch of litchis picked at perfection, straight from the orchard. Should you be interested in more information about Litchi’s or other produce that is grown on the farm you are more than welcome to ask and the friendly hosts will provide you with the info and even a tour should you be interested in going on one.

Children are welcome at Oppi Plaas Abek, and there is a lovely pool area with swings and a gazebo and shady lawns.

There are three beautiful dogs (Sally the Labrador, Xena the small black dog and Baley the small lively brown dog) and if you are lucky you might even see Oreo or Garfield the two cats.

Shops and restaurants are with-in a ten-minute drive away, Shiloh coffee and Tanks being the closest and well worth visiting.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
