Neels and Petro are absolutely incredible, kind and fun! We had an amazing time, everything was comfortable, the room we stayed in was cozy and organized. It’s visible their care about the place and, specially, the guests. I super recommend...

Lovely hosts and very relaxed atmosphere... The place is simple, but I can recommend this venue to all true naturists. Being nude is form of freedom and we really felt that during our visit.

We loved the family atmosphere with Neels, Petro and the guests, the nice garden, pool and the cows. Ideal for naturist living.

Tranquil location with stunning views far from the madding crowd. Warm, hospitable hosts. Delicious shared meals. Fresh, creamy milk from on site dairy cows. Very comfortable bed In spotlessly clean room (despite rural farm location). Nice,...

A SMALL NATURIST/CLOTHES FREE FARM VENUE WHERE WE ENJOY A NATURIST/NUDIST LIFESTYLE. WE ARE STRICTLY A NATURIST/NUDIST/CLOTHES FREE VENUE AND WELCOME GUESTS WITH SIMILAR VALUES. We have 2 en-suite rooms with their own kitchen facilities. Then there is “Da Bus” about 100 m away that sleeps two and is en-suite with full kitchen facilities. We are members of the S.A.Naturist association and abide by their code of conduct and ethics. We are not a resort but enjoy hosting guests with a similar, naturist lifestyle. 230 kms from Cape Town or George. We also have a few campsites on the property. WE RECYCLE ! Glass, cans, plastic , paper & cardboard as well as organic waste which goes onto our compost heap. The rest goes to a recycling facility in the town of Swellendam. We sort it after guests leave.
We enjoy hosting fellow naturists and interacting with them. Often sharing meals together. Our property is a small farm.
Our small farm has pleasant rural and mountain views. The Tradouw pass is probably one of the most dramatic in the country. We are pet friendly and have two friendly dogs. Malgas has a ferry over the Breede river and is worth a morning trip. De Hoop and Bontebok nature reserves are close by. Swellendam is the 3rd oldest town in S.A. and older than Johannesburg. It has a museum showing the 18th century lifestyle from prison to governor’s mansion. Saturdays a local market in Swellendam.
