Entire home in Cathkin Park, South Africa

7 guests · 4 bedrooms · 4 beds · 2 bathrooms
Tucked away in a beautiful corner of the Champagne Valley, Haus Mikaya offers a peaceful escape surrounded by the majestic Cathkin and Sterkhorn peaks in the heart of the Drakensberg. Located on a private eco-estate, it’s the ideal spot to relax, unwind, and connect with nature – all while enjoying the comforts of a beautifully equipped home.
The space
At Haus Mikaya, we’ve created a sanctuary where you can feel at home, surrounded by the stunning landscape of the Drakensberg. The house comfortably accommodates up to seven guests with:

- Bedroom 1: Two single beds OR a King-sized bed
- Bedroom 2: A queen-sized bed
- Bedroom 3: A double bed
- Bedroom 4: A single bed

There are two full bathrooms (one en suite), both with a bath and shower, and a guest toilet for extra convenience. Fresh, crisp percale cotton linen ensures a comfortable night’s sleep, and you’ll enjoy the luxury of pure, fresh drinking water filtered through a five-stage purification system.

Modern Comforts in the Heart of Nature
We’ve made sure you’ll be comfortable and connected at Haus Mikaya:

- 65” Samsung Smart TV, suitable for streaming, powered by a small UPS to help during loadshedding/power outages.

- Good Wi-Fi ideal for working, streaming, or simply staying in touch with loved ones.

- Relax Outdoors with Spectacular Views

Step outside onto the spacious veranda and take in the breathtaking views of the Drakensberg mountains. You can enjoy a traditional wood or charcoal braai, perfect for those long evenings as the sun sets over the mountains. With no other homes in sight, the location offers complete privacy and peace. It’s a special place to unwind and truly disconnect.
Guest access
The estate features rolling grassland, streams, two dams (catch and release) and approximately 10km of hiking and mountain bike trails, as well as over 5km of tarred estate road surface ideal for road running. There are no houses to be seen from the veranda of Haus Mikaya that has a built in wood/charcoal braai from which the sunsets over the mountains are especially breathtaking. Blesbuck, Reedback, Eland, Duiker, Waterbuck, Zebra and the endangered Oribi antelope are some of the wildlife that roam the estate which also boasts a short 4x4 route, picnic spots and three waterfalls that can be visited via the hiking paths. The Estate is a nature lovers delight

What a lovely spot in the mountains. Spacious and cosy accommodation. The fireplace as well used over the weekend. Well stocked kitchen equipment. Lots of walking in the estate. Trout dam was a little far and inaccessible. Great area of the Berg to visit other attractions and restaurants

Absolutely loved our stay. We were on a prayer and fast retreat here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The peaceful and serene views were unmatched. The host was so friendly and responsive. Definitely coming back for leisure next time. It’s more beautiful than what we saw on the pictures. The house is clean and well kept. Thank you. God bless you.
