The main house is on an escarpment overlooking the Umgeni Nature Preserve. We can accommodate six persons in our home and offer a wide rage of home-cooked meals, specializing in Italian-Sicilian menus.
Self catering chalets are available in the Umgeni Nature preserve across our valley, bed and breakfast and guest houses abound, as well as many country hotels to choose from.
Groups
We prefer working with small groups of six or so, but can accommodate smaller or larger groups with sufficient planning. We will work with you in planning your quilting adventure and design a program to meet your expectations.
Touring
The Mzansi Centre is located in the midlands of KwaZulu-Natal on the Midlands Meander. The Midlands Meander provides an enriching experience for the tourist by means of a variety array of arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and hospitality in a beautiful and unique country setting. Over two hundred locations along the meander offer accommodations of all kinds as well as original cottage industry arts and crafts. Activities abound: fishing or boating on our beautiful lakes, swinging through the trees on a canopy tour, or balloon rides across the countryside.
For those with more time to spend in South Africa we can customise tours to northern game parks and nature preserves through our friendly Bundu Bashers tour operators. If you are interested in coming to South Africa and participating in our program, please email us at rickbarrata@lantic.net.
