About Branksome Country House
Branksome Country House is situated on Branksome Farm, a working farm in the Southern Drakensberg. This is the perfect place to visit if you are seeking relaxation and an escape from the pressures of city life. We are located in a remote valley, far removed from civilization, and right in the midst of nature. A tranquil and serene setting to unwind and de-stress.
Accommodation
All our rooms are mountain facing, offering you the best views of the 'Dragon's Tail'. Our rooms have been designed with our surrounds in mind, and we have tried to bring the theme of nature through. Each room has been named and themed after a significant part of our family history, and is decorated accordingly.
In order for our guests to really escape and appreciate the serene and peaceful surrounds, all our rooms are TV-free. We encourage our guests to escape from technology and reconnect with nature and their loved ones. All our rooms have the same amenities and facilities, and differ only in decor and theme.
