About Gowan Valley Guest Farm
Welcome to Gowan Valley Guest Farm, owned and managed by the Bouwer family, graced by the crystal clean Mpofana river and blessed with the scenic beauty of the Natal Midlands.
Gowan Valley Guest farm has 13 double rooms, all with their own private ensuite bathrooms.
Your stay includes a delicious full farmhouse breakfast, cereals, yoghurt, fruit juice, tea, coffee, to be enjoyed whilst watching the gushing Mpofana river below and Nguni cattle in the fields.
Gowan Valley Guest Farm has been chosen as a reception venue and wedding venue for a few small intimate weddings. We have also hosted Christmas parties, 70th birthday lunches and pre-dance functions for Michaelhouse and St Anne’s parents and children.
Owners - Brett & Deanne Bouwer and Terry & Tessa Bouwer (past co-owners and managers of Umngazi River Bungalows).
As a family, we also built, created & owned the hugely successful, nearby Orchards Wedding Venue.
Gowan Valley B&B has been extensively renovated, redecorated and re-landscaped since taking ownership in March 2015.
