Information about this farmhouse rental in Mpumalanga

Killarney Farm House is an exclusive country home, set in a river valley of outstanding natural beauty on a working tropical fruit and nut farm, just outside the town of Nelspruit in Mpumalanga. The 7-bedroomed house is separate from the working farm and surrounded by 6 acres (2.4 hectares) of beautiful gardens and lawns with an inviting swimming pool, veranda, sunbathing deck and outdoor dining area. The house has incredible views across the Schagen valley with fabulous bird life and nocturnal wildlife. Our guests have access to wonderful river walks and roaming rights over the whole farm of 1,240 acres (500 hectares). Killarney Farm House is ideally located for trips to the KRUGER NATIONAL PARK as well as Mozambique and Swaziland. We are the perfect holiday destination for people of all ages - whether you want a traditional family holiday or an action-packed adventure. The house managers live within the property grounds, and the house is cleaned and maintained on a daily basis.

Information about the location of this Mpumalanga farmhouse rental

Nearest airport:   Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport at 55 Kilometres
Car: necessary

The province of Mpumalanga was once part of the larger Transvaal Province. Nelspruit is the provincial capital of the region and the gateway to the Bushveld - in particular the world-famous KRUGER NATIONAL PARK (Malelane gate is 100 km's away) which is one of the biggest and oldest 'Big Five' wildlife parks in the world. Mpumalanga is a lush, land-locked province, filled with deep ravines, verdant valleys, crystal-clear streams, magnificent waterfalls and plenty of wildlife. It is found north-east of Gauteng Province, and shares a long border with Mozambique. The province enjoys a subtropical climate and is very fertile. There are many huge plantations growing produce ranging from avocado pears to citrus as well as hundreds of thousands of hectares of timber plantations. We are situated approx. 32km from Nelspruit, down 7km of well-maintained dirt road (off the N4 motorway). The house is 370km due east of Johannesburg which takes about 3 ½ hours by car.

Further details about this farmhouse rental

Domestic Staff: Our domestic staff are willing to work at the weekends and on public holidays upon prior arrangement. In this instance, you will need to pay overtime directly to them at a rate of R70 each for all extra days worked. Esther (the maid) is Swazi-speaking with average English. She will expect to help you with the following: In the morning, she will unload the dishwasher and hand wash anything left from the night before. Once everyone is up, she will make the beds, clean the bathrooms and sweep the house etc. When you have finished lunch, she will load the dishwasher and run it. In the afternoon, she will unload the dishwasher. In the evening, please start the dishwasher after the final meal of the day .

Domestic Staff Continued: Esther doesn't do any washing other than towels, sheets and table linen which will be done weekly or as required. So please, do all other washing yourselves! Drying lines are located behind the garage, at the back of which (in the secure laundry room) is a tumble dryer. Parties over 6 will have to hire an extra maid.

Malaria and Weather: There are mosquitoes around, but Nelspruit and the farm are considered to be a very low-risk malarial area. This means it is highly unlikely you will contract malaria when staying with us. Most local people don’t take malaria prophylactics unless they’re staying over-night in the Kruger Park or environs. That said, Killarney Farm House can't take responsibility for anyone who contracts malaria, so please consult your doctor or travel clinic prior to departure. November - March is mid-summer in South Africa. It is humid and balmy, and in the Lowveld it is ‘rainy season’. You should expect rain in the form of short-lived African tropical storms. Daytime temps can reach 40 ° C (104 ° F) while night-time temps are a pleasant 22 ° C (72 ° F). In October & April there is typically less rain and only a slight reduction in temperature. In May - September it is typically dry. Mid-winter is June - July and maximum daytime temps are still around 20 ° C (68 ° F) although the nights can be cold.
