Beautiful, tranquil environment with indigenous mist belt forest. Excellent birding, KZN Midlands SA

Midlands Forest Lodge is perched high up on the edge of luscious green hills and slopes. This tranquil and secluded hillside retreat lives up to its name by bordering on pristine indigenous forest where fauna and flora abound and a natural sanctuary to numerous species of birds exists. At an altitude of 1340m, one can survey the beauty of the Midlands valley from one of 12 well appointed suites. Utmost care has been taken in making the cozy log cabins blend harmoniously with nature. Enjoy a leisurely walk on the escarpment or, for the more adventurous, explore the forest with its towering giant yellow wood trees.

🌿 What makes you happy?

Maybe it’s waking up somewhere where the first thing you hear isn’t traffic… it’s birds in the trees.

Maybe it’s pulling on your shoes with nowhere you have to be, stepping outside and following a quiet forest path just because you can.

The sun peeking through the trees. That fresh Midlands air. A little time to breathe, wander and forget what day it is. 🌳🍃

Sometimes the best kind of getaway isn’t about doing more.

It’s about finally doing less.

Come find your happy place at Midlands Forest Lodge. 💚
