A Good Place – The Midlands Meander

The Midlands Meander in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, is a collection of arranged routes that offer visitors hospitality in truly beautiful surroundings, outstanding accommodation, conference and wedding facilities, fascinating local events, fabulous cuisine and restaurants, revitalising outdoor activities and over-the-top adventure sports, historic landmarks, wildlife conservation, and best of all “shop-till-you-drop” unique arts and crafts. An easy one-hour drive from Durban and four and a half hours on the N3 highway from Johannesburg, there is much to explore and do in the Midlands. For all that is on offer, life is lived at a gentler pace, we take time to chat to strangers in the trading store and we grow our own vegetables.

The Midlands Meander is a region in beautiful KwaZulu Natal that stretches from just beyond Mooi River in the north, Hilton in the south, Karkloof in the east and the foothills of the Drakensberg in the west.

A Journey through the Treetops

by Julia Amaral Looking to add a dash of excitement to your Midlands Meander visit. Look no further than a canopy tour zip line at Karkloof Canopy Tour! Karkloof Canopy Tour is a thrilling two-hour activity that allows participants to traverse through the spectacular valley of the mistbelt podocarpus Karkloof Forest Reserve, using a series of zip lines and platforms, with experienced and friendly guides. I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to join a group that had come out from the UK on holiday, to experience a new way of exploring nature’s wonders from a unique perspective. From the moment I arrived, my adrenaline was pumping, but being greeted by such friendly and confident staff, Daniel and Noku, “who have earned their wings”, I was immediately put at ease. Don’t worry if you’re new to zip lining or have never tried any adventure activity before. Karkloof Canopy Tour has been in existence for 20 years and is designed to be accessible to participants of varying ages and fitness levels, from as young at 6 years old all the way to 80+ years can enjoy this experience. Safety is of the utmost importance, with all groups escorted by a […]

The ANEW Hotel Hilton

by Leigh Lippert I must have driven past the ANEW Hotel Hilton a couple of times a week but had not had reason to go in since lockdown opened up. The gardens looked lovely, and certainly the outside of the Tudor Style hotel looked refreshed. Such it is with many tourist places, they look good but the real test is what being inside feels like. I was lucky enough to experience this after an invite from the Midlands Meander Group to visit the Hotel. So began a visit of warmth and smiles, expertise, and complete commitment to making the visitor’s time as comfortable and happy as possible. A place built on staff many of whom have worked their way up through the ranks, and who openly express their enjoyment of their work and wish to be part of the hotel for many years to come. I wandered into reception which with its high ceilings and glorious artwork give an inspiring first impression, second only to Jabulile Motaung’s huge smile! Jabu started out in housekeeping and explained with a shy smile “management is so good at recognising your true potential, so here I am at reception, loving every minute. My colleagues […]
