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.

- 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
