Welcome to a piece of African paradise, where you’ll find the best of both worlds. Barnside offers an exclusive retreat from the frenetic pace of our 21st-century lifestyle, embracing the elegance and tranquility reminiscent of days gone by.
Nestled amidst 400 hectares of indigenous fauna and flora, just 20 minutes from the bustling city of Pietermaritzburg, Barnside is a true hidden gem. Here, you’ll revel in the feeling of being alone in the heart of the African bush, far away from the noise of the modern world. As you pass through our gates, the years-old railway bridge stands tall, seemingly welcoming you into a different time and space.
As you meander through thorn trees and grassland, the cares of your busy day fade into the background. Instead, you’ll find yourself captivated by the wonders of nature – a weaver building its nest near the river crossing or a herd of Impala quenching their thirst. The allure of Barnside lies not only in its proximity to the city but also in the delightful surprises nature has to offer.
Situated near Pietermaritzburg in Kwazulu Natal, Barnside provides easy access to both vibrant city life and countryside excursions, making it an ideal base for your adventures. Barnside is merely 12km from Oribi Airport, offering daily flights to and from Johannesburg and Cape Town, whilst King Shaka International Airport is just over an hour’s drive away.
We are close to the many schools around Pietermaritzburg, making Barnside an ideal weekend getaway for families of boarding students.
Our area is also a popular route for runners and cyclists, as well as birders and nature enthusiasts.
