Curry's Post: Craft and Active Experiences
Accommodation in Curry's Post
In Curry’s Post, the interests described range from crafts to horse riding and mountain bike trails. This variety offers different ways to focus your stay: a visit centred on products and craftsmanship, or an outing in the saddle or on the trails. The Midlands Meander Route 2 adds a regional perspective to the local attractions.
Leathercraft at the Founding Store
The Groundcover Leather Company’s founding store is in Curry’s Post; the factory is on the same property. The restored settler house offers handmade leather shoes, bags and accessories, as well as Nguni products made by artisans on the farm. The founding store also has its own café. The shared location of the store and factory gives the company site a clear focus on craftsmanship; the café adds another option to consider when planning your day. This offers a different kind of point of interest from the sporting activities: the focus is on products and craftsmanship at a specific location.
Compare Horse Riding and Mountain Biking
Buffelsbosch Equestrian in Curry’s Post offers outrides and trail rides for riders from beginner level upwards. The Howick Mountain Bike Club trails are easy to reach, about 1.5 km along Curry’s Post Road. The two activities offer different points to consider when planning: for horse riding, the entry level is specified; for the club trails, the approximate distance along the road is given. If you are coordinating the interests of a travel group, you can take these differences into account rather than treating horse riding and mountain biking simply as one shared category of “activities”. This makes it clearer which kind of outing you would like to prioritise.
Curry’s Post on the Regional Route
The Midlands Meander Route 2 broadens the view beyond Curry’s Post. The 2025 route guide lists Curry’s Post, Balgowan and Mount West as destinations on the route; it runs from Howick along Curry’s Post Road to Exit 132 at the Nottingham Road interchange. The description therefore covers a regional route and is not limited to Curry’s Post alone. Check the route before relying on it for your current navigation. For planning, it helps to distinguish between local attractions and the route: horse riding and mountain bike trails are associated with Curry’s Post, while Route 2 also includes other places and the stretch from Howick to the Nottingham Road interchange.
Choose Your Stay Based on Your Interests
When looking for a holiday rental, you can first consider what you would like your stay to focus on. Groundcover offers craftsmanship and products at a specific location; horse riding and the club trails provide different active pursuits. The regional route, in turn, helps you view Curry’s Post in the wider Midlands Meander context. These differences give you specific starting points for matching your preferred way to spend the day with your choice of destination for your holiday rental.
