A 1941 SAR Train Carriage Caboose. Bought on Gumtree, hauled from Cape Town Station to Ceres then put on a flat bed with a 100 ton crane and moved to McGregor where she has been restored to her former beauty to be enjoyed by guests!!
We moved from the city and bought a little farm 4km outside the gorgeous village of McGregor in 2017 and haven't looked back. We run various small businesses including free range chicken farming, an events venue and a livery yard for horses.
