Midweek Magic: 5 Surprising Reasons to Escape to Millstream Farm (Especially Between Monday and Thursday — Golf from Tuesday!)

Let’s be honest — the world feels a little too “go go go” these days. Your inbox is full, the group chat won’t stop buzzing, and even your coffee needs coffee. You’re overdue for a breather.

So, what if we told you the perfect reset is hiding in plain sight — midweek, in the misty hills of Dullstroom? Yep. A cheeky little Monday–Thursday escape to Millstream Farm might be the smartest thing you do all month. (Psst… if golf is on your agenda, plan for Tuesday to Thursday — the course is closed on Mondays.)

Here’s why midweek is the new weekend:

1. Peace, quiet, and absolutely no queue for the hiking trail

Weekends are great… until you’re racing other families for the last picnic spot. Midweek at Millstream? Whole different story.

You’ll have the trails to yourself, the trout dams whispering your name, and no one bumping into you while you photograph the perfect sunrise over the water.

Whether you’re hiking, biking, or just wandering aimlessly with a coffee in hand — this is your chance to actually hear yourself think.

2. The Golfer’s midweek package deal is kind of ridiculously good

Here’s the magic number: R6,700.

That gets you a 2-night stay (Tuesday to Thursday) in a self-catering cottage for up to 10 people, plus a bunch of extras that sound like the start of a dream:

🎣 Fly-fishing at SA’s #1 RCI Trout Resort 

⛳ A 4-ball round of golf at Highland Gate (Tuesday–Thursday only) 

🚗 2 golf carts, halfway house meals, and access to the driving range 

🍷 10% off dining at The Duck & Trout

And yes, the cottage sleeps 10, so whether it’s a double-date getaway, a squad golf trip, or you plus 9 friends you haven’t seen since varsity — the price stays the same.

👀 Not a golfer? No problem.

If fly-fishing, fireside chats, and long scenic walks are more your vibe than teeing off at sunrise — you can still enjoy a midweek stay without the golf add-ons.

Our midweek rate (Monday to Thursday) for a 10-sleeper unit (no golf package included) is just R2,450 per night, per unit.

Same comfy cottages. Same trout-rich dams. Same fresh mountain air. Just a little more freedom to do sweet nothing.

3. Dullstroom is delightfully quiet midweek

Want to grab a table at your favourite local restaurant without a reservation or a waiting list? Midweek is your time to shine.

Everything just moves slower — in a good way. Take your time browsing little shops, grab a wine tasting without a crowd, or enjoy a full round of golf at Highland Gate without rushing. It’s Dullstroom, unplugged.

4. Yes, you can actually work from here (if you must)

We get it. You’re not technically on leave. But with reliable WiFi in your cottage and a desk that comes with a view, who’s to say you can’t sneak in a Zoom call between casting lines and afternoon naps?

Work. Fish. Golf. Nap. Repeat. Sounds like a balanced midweek to us.

5. You get your weekend back

The real genius of a midweek escape? You’re home in time for Friday, fully recharged while everyone else is dragging their feet. You’ve caught trout, crushed 18 holes, and maybe even finished a book.

Your reward? That Friday smugness. And the fact that you’ve officially hacked the holiday calendar.

So, ready to cast your worries away? Whether it’s fresh air you need, quality time with the crew, or just an excuse to break the routine — our midweek magic is calling your name.
