Things To Do
Karkloof Canopy Tour
Built in the beautiful valley of the Karkloof Forest Reserve, Karkloof Canopy Tours is the ideal adrenaline-laced escape to nature. After a short safety briefing and 4×4 excursion, you start your adventure at the top of Karkloof valley. Here, you will enjoy ziplining across ten slides, with 12 platforms. Safety is paramount so professional, experienced guides are there every step of the way. As you zip, keep an eye out for the many birds, mammals and natural attractions (including a 200 metre waterfall) found within this gorgeous reserve. Email them info@karkloofcanopytour.co.za
Nottingham Road
One of the most popular towns in the Midlands is the picturesque Nottingham Road. This tiny town may be small but it is big on charm and well worth at least passing through if you are in the area. Aside from the famous Nottingham Road Hotel (which is rumoured to be haunted by a restless lady), other town attractions include the Arrow Coffee Roastery and Nottingham Road Brewery. This local brewery is loved for its selection of brewed ales and lagers, as well as some G&Ts. Email: notts@bundunet.com or info@midlandsmeander.co.za
Piggly Wiggly Coffee Shop - Midlands
Piggly Wiggly also offers an incredible coffee shop, mini golf and the Piggy Zip (run by Karkloof Canopy Tour) over Highgate Wine Estate.
Chocolate Heaven
If you are looking for chocolate paradise in the Midlands, look no further than Chocolate Heaven. Here, all your sinfully good chocolate dreams can come true! Producers of pure Belgian chocolate, Chocolate Heaven offers some amazing chocolates to choose from. They have everything from fudge, caramel, shortbread or Turkish Delight to exotics like biltong, curry and even koeksisters!
Abingdon Wine estate
Another beautiful Midlands wine estate is Abingdon. Touted by some to be KZN’s premier wine estate, it is an unmissable local attraction. The estate is proud to be a wine farm that serves great wine and fresh, delicious meals in a lovely, laid-back setting. Lunch at Abingdon – which consists of scrumptious harvest boards and tapa-style dishes – is a popular affair.
