The developers of Gowrie Farm strived to retain all the qualities of country living, while bringing in some of the essential elements of modern living.  Centred at the heart of  South Africa's premier arts and craft routes in the Natal Midlands at Nottingham Road, Gowrie Farm offers a variety of activities for those looking for something to while away the time.

The climate of this grassland area, which has protected indigenous evergreen yellowwood forests, is pleasant all year round.  Welcome relief in the warm months is brought by the summer rainfall, allowing for some of the  province's most spectacular gardens.  The mild winter days are brought to a close with crips nights. Occasionally, winter supplies a fairy tale romantic touch with falls of snow, providing a surreal environment to wake up to.

These properties in the Midlands have deeper advantages, though:

Gowrie Farm offers excellent re-sale potential from the constantly evolving parent population at the nearby schools of Michaelhouse, Clifton, Kings, Treverton and the private schools of Pietermaritzburg, just 35 minutes away.
