Bushwhacked

Bushwhacked is a diverse accommodation establishment located in Barberton, positioned strategically about an hour's drive from The Kruger National Park and Swaziland. This conveniently located property serves as an excellent stopover point between Kruger and the Kwa-Zulu Natal coast or the Drakensberg mountains, situated on the town's periphery with views over an uninhabited valley.

The property features a main guesthouse with four double rooms, complemented by three self-contained chalets/cottages. Each unit is fully equipped with kitchen facilities, lounge areas, and dining spaces, featuring braai/barbeque facilities that capitalize on the valley views. All accommodations are furnished with essential amenities including linens, towels, and basic kitchen supplies such as tea, coffee, and condiments.

Located just outside the historic gold rush town of Barberton, which holds World Heritage Status for its GeoTrail, Bushwhacked offers guests easy access to the region's rich historical sites. The nearby Barberton Museum forms part of a historical walking trail that encompasses several original 1880s gold mining houses.

Nestled in the Makonjwa Mountains' foothills, 40 minutes from Nelspruit, the property provides direct access to hiking trails, including the Fortuna Mine Tunnel Trail, where guests can observe local wildlife and follow historic prospector routes. The nearby Pedlars bush, an indigenous forest, offers excellent bird-watching opportunities.

The accommodation options range from standard double rooms to family chalets sleeping up to six people. Notable features include solar-heated water systems, spacious gardens with free-ranging animals, and a small campsite. Activities in the area include quadbike tours to Eureka City, microlight flights over the valley, and guided geological tours of the World Heritage site. The property is particularly noted for its stargazing opportunities, peaceful environment, and secure setting.
