PLEASE NOTE: Due to gravel road conditions, high clearance vehicles are recommended. Our recently restored farm lodge makes for an idyllic getaway for friends and family alike. As it's situated on a working farm, the sights and sounds of this life won't be far from your doorstep. This picturesque farm appeals to the adventurous spirit as there are endless opportunities for hiking, cycling and general exploration! The Gats River meanders through our breathtaking kloof, where rock pools make for a fun dip once the rains have come. It's a nature-lover's paradise!
The main farm house is very close to the guest cottage so we are readily available if guests need us
The farm is only a 10km drive to the nearest village, Nieu-Bethesda, which is a quaint and creative place with a few good restaurants and art galleries. The bustling Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet is 55km south of the farm.
