Midgard Stories

There are nights when dreams come to life. A moment that envelopes you. Fills you up like the first rains of summer. Perhaps it was the crystal air, the brush of distant trees or the moon unveiling herself as witness – but the night of July 30th, was a night like no other.

I find that I struggle with many things on days leading up to my travels. On some trips, I struggle with finding something to wear, on others, what to do with my hair but the thing I consistently have to fight with myself about is the distance I have to travel to make it to my destination.

Exciting improvements on the horizon for Midgard

As part of our 2025 vision, Midgard is undergoing an extensive refurbishment.

In our drive to accommodate both conferences, events and tour groups, the decision was made to increase our room capacity. Some of the existing areas are being re-developed with additional room placement, as well as a new block of rooms being built overlooking the park area.

Whether it be for a camping trip, team-building outing, family fiesta, romantic getaway, or even a business get-together, the newly refurbished train carriage accommodation at the Midgard Country Estate (MCE) promises to present a one-of-a-kind experience to its guests.

Launched with a fresh, vibrant and exciting look-n-feel this past month, guests to the launch event described the facility – which is an addition to the current Midgard offering – as the perfect fun getaway and group weekend spot. The big bonfire cornerstone in the centre of all three carriages, serves for the perfect ambiance that adds a significant spark to the experience, in addition to the priceless childhood memories that come to life, for those that have had the privilege of train rides back in the day.

Trains, planes and automobiles

Ok, so Midgard Country Estate does not showcase planes, but we do boast automobiles and now, even trains.

Yes, trains, not mobile, but stationary trains that have been converted with much love and a lot of attention, from our interior designer, into fully equipped, self-catering units.

The staff are busy getting the trains ready for the next generation of adventure seeking guests. New self-catering kitchens and a dining room are in the making. The ablution blocks have been transformed to pamper each guest with a hot shower and beautiful functional finishes.
