Bellwood guests are welcome to bring along a book or two for exchange from our collection of quality second hand fiction & non-fiction books.

What better place than Bellwood to let your children roam free and enjoy the outdoors – the best the Midlands of Kwa-Zulu Natal has to offer.

You will easily be able to part the children from their tablets and mobile phones with all the farm activities including:

  • A visit to the Enchanted Forest for a little bit of magic is a must for the littlies – come by Reception and we will share our secrets with you
  • The wide open spaces for children to explore, run wild, get dirty and have fun
  • Visiting the baby cows, ducks, chickens, and horses – they may even be lucky enough to see a calf being born
  • The excitement of catching their first fish or rowing across the dam (of course all water activities must be supervised by an adult)
  • A children’s playground with climbing frames, sand pit, merry-go-round, Wendy house and lots more will entertain them for hours
  • Where maize come from – they are actually grown in the ground and don’t just appear pre-packed on supermarket shelves
  • Horse riding and fishing lessons can be arranged on request - prior notice is required
