Tucked inside a converted mushroom tunnel at The Old Mushroom Farm, Midlands Books and Collectables invites you to re-discover the lost art of browsing. A second-hand bookshop and a sanctuary for those who love the smell and feel of a physical page. Wander without a plan, follow what catches your eye, and leave with a story you didn’t expect to find.

Reclaiming your attention has become a new kind of luxury. At The Old Mushroom Farm in the KZN Midlands, digital distraction is... structurally discouraged. It's true, there’s little cell reception, no TVs, and wifi that comes and goes. But we like it that way! It means slower mornings, real conversations, and time that feels like your own again. This is a digital detox farm stay for people who’d rather go frolic in a field than doomscroll.
