Set high on the northern grass and wetlands of Mpumalanga this sandstone farmhouse with open heart fireplaces characterizes the stark beauty of this charming and unspoilt corner of the highveld. Here you will find peace and tranquility amongst the lakes and pans of Matotoland, the land of the Frog.
The farm`s name "Florence" was originally given to it by Scottish families who settled the land in the late eighteen hundreds. They settled in this area because it reminded them of Scotland, to this day the area is still known as New-Scotland by residents.
