MOUNT HIGH LUXURY COUNTRY HOUSE HAS PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES ON OFFER

The Mount High Luxury Country House is situated on a working horse farm that is home to magnificent Arabian horses. The ethos of the owners dictates that these horses are given a place in which to graze at leisure, gallop over the plains, and enjoy their freedom.

Meeting these horses and feeling the power of their insight and understanding as they gaze into your eyes is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that guarantees lasting memories.

The farm itself is surrounded by many things to do and see.

There are many well-established mountain biking trails on the farm and in the mountains, as well as walking trails and hikes.

Thrill-seekers can climb the mountains to see breath-taking views, and go on long game drives to witness first-hand and photograph some very exciting animal species.

Visitors can look forward to seeing an array of animal species during their time at Mount High. The farm itself is home to wildebeest, nyala and sable. This is also the natural habitat of the African vulture. Wildlife photographers are spoilt for choice with the abundance of African flora and fauna to be found here.

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!
