DESCRIPTION:
Poplar Grove Guest Farm is situated on the south-eastern Highveld of Mpumalanga. With its delightful old-world charm it offers a tranquil and restful haven, secluded from the surrounding highly industrialised area, yet conveniently located for visitors to Secunda or Bethal.
Unobstructed highveld vistas of unspoilt grasslands, abundant birdlife and old-fashioned hospitality create a truly unique experience, whether you stay in one of our luxury rooms, attend a meeting or conference or allow us to turn your special function into a memorable occasion.
Accommodation
The historic homestead, built in 1915, has been lovingly restored to its former splendour by the owners, Cor and Dineke Ehlers. Modern venues can never compete with the atmosphere created by Poplar Grove's lofty dimensions, pressed-steel ceilings, Oregon pine floors, grand fireplaces and its rose, herb and vegetable gardens.
The original 19th century homestead, built of local stone and yellowwood beams brought from the Eastern Cape in the 1870s, has survived the Anglo-Boer war and is now also being restored.
Breakfast & Dining
Bed and breakfast clients are served five-star breakfasts in the main homestead; dinner is available on request. Enjoy exclusive gourmet catering for business functions or that special occasion, be it brunch, lunch, dinner or high tea.
Conferences
Our conference and meeting rooms can accommodate up to 30 people for day conferences, board meetings or strategic planning sessions. Conference delegates return time and again due to the meticulous personalised service they receive as well as the delicious lunches, teas and snack platters.

Activities and Attractions
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, flamingo, secretary bird, bald ibis, purple swamp-hen and crested grebe, to name but a few.
Unwind in the farm’s own bird hide or order a picnic basket to linger under weeping willow trees.

Experience horse riding on vast open highveld plains or enjoy the variety of indigenous veld flowers in spring and fields full of cosmos in autumn. |
