Host Review Score

Le Roux Family

There are 3 cottages built on Doornkraal farm, 5 km from the small town De Rust in the Klein Karoo. The main farm house, an impressive Ostrich Palace constructed in 1914 hosts the family who still run the working farm. Each cottage offers its own unique aesthetic and charm. Ewe have a dam, and a swimming pool available for all guest to use. You have the freedom of the farm, and are welcome to explore the entire property at any time. It is an extremely safe area and we offer horse riding experiences onsite too.

Fifth generation sisters Celia and Julia manage the farm and cottages, spoiling guests with genuine, warm hospitality.

De Rust is a closely-knit farming community and the small town plays host to quaint shops and interesting characters. The area produces some of the best olive oil in the country and its delectable wines, home-baking, artisanal crafts, vegetables & fruit all pay tribute to this veritable land of milk and honey, locally also known as Kannaland. The goodness of the earth combined with wholesome food and great company is an irresistible Doornkraal concoction which charms guests to return year after year, often becoming friends for life.
