Welcome |

Welcome to Ripplemead Guesthouse. Your hosts are Carol-Ann and Alan Blakeway. This beautiful farm has been in the Blakeway family for 4 generations.
The Guesthouse is conveniently situated just 100 m. off the N2, 14km outside Kokstad on the way to Durban or Pietermaritzburg.
Ripplemead is a working farm with a tastefully furnished country guesthouse comprising 4 complete self-catering or bed & breakfast units. Your stay at Ripplemead is sure to be a relaxing and revitalising experience in a truly magnificent setting.
Although it is not a very large farm, 700 hectares in size, it produces large maize crops, lucern, hay, lavender which is a new farming venture, and the small Friesland dairy herd supplies the staff and guests with full cream milk. A special treat for city folk to see the thick layer of cream in their milk jugs each day.
The Swartwater River, all 5 kms. of it, runs through the farm. Hiking along this river is a great experience for the young and elderly. Bass can be caught in the dams.
