Poplar Grove Guest Farm

Poplar Grove Guest Farm is situated on the south-eastern Highveld of Mpumalanga. Its century-old farm homestead with its old-world charm and ambience offers a tranquil and peaceful haven secluded from the surrounding highly industrialised area. Unobstructed highveld vistas of unspoilt grasslands, abundant bird life and old-fashioned hospitality create a truly unique experience, whether you stay over in our luxury rooms, attend a meeting or small conference or allow us to turn your special function into a memorable occasion.

Additional Information

Poplar Grove Guest Farm is the perfect getaway venue, a welcoming retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The surrounding grasslands allow excellent highveld birding, with regular sightings of Blue Korhaan, Secretarybird and Southern Bald Ibis, to name but a few. Unwind in the farm's own bird hide, or order a picnic basket to linger under weeping willow trees. Explore the walking trail to the nearby dam where various duck, egret and heron species and a host of other inland water birds can be observed. Experience the vast open highveld plains and or enjoy the variety of indigenous veld flowers in spring and fields full of cosmos in autumn.
