When Wyford Farm was built in 1882 it was a trading post and half way stop for ox wagons transporting supplies to the gold mines. The vicinity featured a small village including the independent Orange Free State customs house until the advent of the railway. 

Wyford Farm is located on van Reenen's Pass (the main pass through the Drakensberg mountains).

van Reenen is on the N3 midway between Johannesburg and Durban and 40Km from either Harrismith or Ladysmith..

Halfway along van Reenen's Pass on the N3 - 9 Km past the Half Way Caltex garage, if travelling from Harrismith, or 15 Km past the Tugela Toll plaza, if travelling from Ladysmith see the Wyford Farm sign. This is directly opposite the Andrews Motel. Turn in and continue on the farm road for +/- 2 Km passing one house on the left following arrows to bring you to the main house.
