Mooi River is a small town a few kilometers off the N3 and is a gateway to the Central Drakensberg and Natal midlands. In fact Mooi River is a very good location to access the Battlefields, Giants Castle and Kamberg as well as the Natal Midlands. The Mooi River area offers accommodation as gracious splendour and  rural simplicity. The Mooi River area also has varied and interesting places to visit.

Mooi River sports stud farms, game, fly-fishing, Drakensberg, battlefields, bush, flora and fauna, St. Andrew Church (dedicated in 1905), Zulu dancing, museums, top schools and local arts and crafts and the Midlands Meander  to list but a few of the attractions. Mooi River also has a Military Cemetery, offers township tours and has an Alpaca farm where alpaca products are for sale. There are a number of quaint restaurants offering 5-star dining in a safe environment.
