The C.I.A.R.A experience in Middleton!

Join the Christians In Action Reintegration Academy

This is the only place in the world where recovering addicts are running an establishment with multiple venues as part of their recovery program.

Situated amongst the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape, surrounded by luscious green meadows, on the banks of the Fish River lies Middleton; a railway siding with its quaint Cape Dutch/African architecture that reminds one of the Victorian era.

The manor and surrounds built in 1879 exude the quaintness of the Anglo/African age of the Eastern Cape with a large amount of Dutch influence seen in the architecture of the buildings.

The manor offers accommodation ranging from comfortable upstairs rooms to the self-catering bachelors flats and the Hunters Lodge, there are also rooms spread out around the manor which are catered for.

A large part of the town’s magic is the grounds, set on the banks of the great fish river, the grounds contain well-manicured gardens, rolling lawns, tennis courts, a swimming pool and a conference center seating 100 people. The river offers some superb yellow fish fishing and is a birdwatchers paradise, with bird-life ranging from sun birds to fish eagles.

The fully stocked pub, known as the Tavern, has a large flat screen TV for all your sports viewing and with friendly and helpful bar staff you can get all you want out of a visit.

We have great location for sundowners or to just relax – plus the food is great and we even have pizza if you get hungry for a take away. It’s just a really relaxed place for a chilled evening. Why not pop in for a visit and see for yourself!

THE HISTORY OF MIDDLETON

Ciara is the secondary reintegration phase after the rehab phase at Noupoort Christian Care Centre (NCCC).

This is the only place in the world where recovering addicts are running an establishment with multiple venues as part of their recovery program. They work and run the accommodation, catering, grounds, Pub, Shop, Bottle Store, Post Office, Farm Stall (Padstal), Caravan + Camping facilities, manage the finances (do the books), and take care of all the buying to make CIARA Middleton run smoothly. All this while offering services and a variety of venues to the public, fellow residents, their families and also the staff (also recovered addicts) to benefit from this.

It’s situated amongst the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape surrounded by luscious green meadows. Right on the banks of the Fish River lies Middleton, a railway siding with its quaint Cape Dutch/African architecture that reminds one of the past Victorian era.

It’s situated on the banks of the Fish River, off the N10 road and about 30km south of Cookhouse. It was established in 1879 as a train stop, and the station (which has since been converted into a pub) was one of the first buildings to be erected. The manor and surrounds exude the quaintness of the Anglo/African age of the Eastern Cape with a large amount of Dutch influence seen in the architecture of the buildings.

The manor offers accommodation ranging from a comfortable upstairs room to the self-catering bachelor flat and hunters lodge; there are also rooms spread out around the manor which are catered for.

A large part of the town’s magic is the grounds; set on the banks of the great fish river; the grounds contain well-manicured gardens, rolling lawns, tennis courts, a swimming pool and a conference centre seating 100 people.

The river offers some superb yellow fish fishing and is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with birdlife ranging from sunbirds to fish eagles. The fully stocked pub, known as the Tavern, has a large flat screen for all your sports viewing, and with friendly and helpful bar staff, you can get all you want out of a visit.
