Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse - Drakensberg - South Africa

Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse - Location

Cleopatra is a gourmet getaway tucked deep into the KwaZulu-Natal’s Drakensberg Mountains surrounded by the Giants Castle Nature Reserve.

This farm-style retreat in the Drakensberg Mountains is a place of legendary culinary delight.  With a passion for cooking and a flair for ingenuity, the owners have created a rare experience in the idyllic mountain setting near Giant’s Castle.  Beautifully situated on the edge of a trout filled dam, alongside the Little Mooi River, the soaring mountains rise majestically from the bottom of the garden.

Cleopatra mountain Farmhouse - Accommodation

Cleopatra Mountain farmhouse accommodates a maximum of 22 guests (eleven luxury individual decorated rooms) which guarantees you a serene, un-crowded experience in the warm heart of the Drakensberg. Each room has a theme and is filled with many articles pertaining to the colour scheme and theme.  All rooms have a minibar, tea/coffee facilities with home made biscuits.  Complimentary sherry is an added bonus in all the room.

Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse - Food

Cleopatra invites you to enjoy a world-class meal lovingly prepared by Richard Poynton (awarded a 5 star chef status).  Passion and patience goes into the preparation of every dish with flavour paramount.  Menus change daily and local, imported and home grown ingredients are used at their peak and a stroll through the vegetable and herb gardens will attest to this. A place in the country becomes a natural magnet to people who want to savour the flavours of home grown vegetables, farm fresh dairy products and home cured hams. The passion and patience that go into the preparation of food are reflected in its tastes and textures.
