"Our fifth visit to Millard and more wonderful than ever. This annual holiday is a breath of fresh air." "We've found 'Heaven on Earth'.
Totally overwhelmed by the warm cozy welcome."

Millard's tranquil valley is surrounded by stunning mountain peaks.
This idyllic setting is the perfect place to unwind. Far away from the stress of urban life, staying on this working farm will revitalize your senses and lift your spirits.
We offer 'home from home' self-catered accommodation for groups and families. Millard Lodge sleeps up to 10 people, although smaller groups are also most welcome subject to availability and will still have private use of the lodge.
Awake in the mornings to breakfast on our sun-soaked verandah and enjoy the silence - only interrupted by the sounds of farm animals, birds and the bubbling river. Whatever the season, the mountain views are stunning, from autumn colours, to snow, to green summer grasslands.

As night falls, you can relax in front of a roaring log fire in our cosy lounge. Alternatively, you can braai outside and gaze up at the stars, so clear that you feel you can reach out and touch them. Finally, snuggle up in your warm cosy bed and enjoy a good night's sleep before waking up in wild mountain paradise once again.
