GOWRIE FARM GOLF AND FLY-FISHING ESTATE
Bed & Breakfast/ Guest House/ Guest Lodge Accommodation
in Nottingham Road, Midlands & Battlefields,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Gowrie Farm Golf and Fly-Fishing Estate is set in Nottingham Road, in the
heart of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and within the context of a working farm.
The estate is surrounded by a choice of well-stocked trout dams, lush bush and
kikuyu pastures. This tranquil setting is a guaranteed antidote to city stress.
The golf course, developed by Guy Smith, has been built in the classic style,
with tees close to the ground, gently undulating fairways and push-up greens.
The course has the feel of an inland links course and, while it is testing for
the good players, it is also enjoyable for the average golfer. It is a par 70, 9
hole course which has two additional holes. As a result, this gives the course
variety and interest and the golfer has the feel of playing an 18 hole rather
than a 9 hole.
The magnificent stone Clubhouse boasts five luxury, 4 star double rooms all
overlooking the lake and golf course. These are managed by the Nottingham Road
Hotel and are run on a bed and breakfast basis. Lunches are served at Halfway
House; evening meals may be enjoyed at the local restaurants, of which there are
several within 5 kilometers of Gowrie Farm. For special occasions one may book
the whole Clubhouse and intimate dinners can be arranged.
Overlooking the 6th green is the Old Tom Morris Cottage which is ideal
accommodation for 2 four balls. Old Tom Morris Cottage has four bedrooms, all
en-suite, as well as an open-plan lounge, dining-room and kitchen area with
beautiful views over the golf course and Clubhouse. Being nestled within the
heart of South Africa's premier arts and crafts routes of the Midlands Meander,
Gowrie Farm offers a plethora of activities for those looking for somewhere to
while away the time. Visitors who relish the idea of the relaxation and
pampering that only a Health Spa can bring, there is also a choice of quality
Spas available within close proximity.
For the outdoor enthusiast, Nottingham Road offers wonderful cycling with quiet
roads out in the Camberg, Loteni and Dargle valleys. There are also a number of
mountain bike routes and wonderful hiking trails in the nearby foothills of the
Drakensberg. For keen birders, over 200 birds have been identified on Gowrie
Farm itself.
Situated alongside the golf course is Gowrie Village. This authentic village
comprises of 134 residential units, a variety of shops, a gymnasium, a bowling
green, an inviting coffee shop and the local sports club where visitors are
welcomed.
