Glen Avon Farm is a Bed and Breakfast and Self Catering Establishment. A visit to this unique historical farm near Somerset East is like taking a step into the past. Some of the buildings date back to 1817 and the guest cottages are furnished with restored furniture from days gone by.
The Glen Avon Farm was first owned by Robert Hart who is known as "The Father of the 1820 Settlers" and today's owners are his direct descendents. The original 1820 homesteads and the historic Glen Avon Water Mill are just a few of the attractions.
Enjoy the warmth and hospitality of your hosts, Alison and Bill Brown and you will want to return.
Guest accommodation, situated in lush surroundings, consists of two restored cottages with self catering, bed and breakfast or fully catered options.
The one cottage (Robert Hart Cottage) has three bedrooms (sleeps 5), one bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen.
The other one (Pecan Cottage) has three bedrooms (sleeps 6), 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.
Two bedrooms sleeping 4 are also available in the main farmhouse.

The Glen Avon farm was a breath of fresh air. The room was clean and comfortable. The views were breathtaking and the adventure to the waterfall was just as fun. Would definitely return soon

Had a wonderful stay at Glen Avon - a step back in time and thought I was transported back to an English or Welsh farming valley.
Thanks to our hosts - it was all interesting, relaxing and very comfortable.
