Company info

My husband Petrus and I love the farm life and have been farming for nearly twenty years. We started a guest house on the farm and it grew so much over the years that I had to retire from my teaching job. I love to be a host for people all over the world. We are both keen tennis players. On this farm we meet people from all over the world and it opened a new world to me. We love travelling and we had the opportunity over the years to visit various destinations.

Property info

Each room has a private entrance with its own little porch. A double bed can be turned into two single beds on request.

Neighborhood info

Enjoy warm South African hospitality and a peaceful atmosphere on this working farm. The garden is bird-filled and wildlife roam the fields. We are ideally located en route to the Kruger National Park and the Drakensberg.
