    Friendly hostess, very peaceful, pretty environment, no TV, relaxed unpretentious cottage and we loved the walks (electric fence caused a challenge, but it was a good challenge finding our way around it). Our dog loved the walk too!

    The kids had an awesome time petting the farm animals, milking the cows and roaming freely and safely on the establishment.

Property info

Accommodation is offered in 4 self-catering Farm Cottages overlooking the farm camps where cows peacefully graze, creating the perfect setting to slow down, smell the fresh, clean air and enjoy a lingering braai with friends and family. The cottages can each accommodate up to 5 guests and contains 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area and the most wonderful shady patio with built-in braai. The first bedroom contains a double bed, and the second bedroom contains 2 single beds. A fifth guest can be accommodated on a single sleeper couch in the living area. The kitchens are well-equipped for self-catering. The cottages have an inside fireplace to keep you warm on the colder winter nights.

Neighborhood info

For those who enjoy walks, there are many beautiful trails on the 56-hectare farm and you are welcome to bring your dogs, at a nominal fee, as the fully fenced cottages are pet friendly. This area is also very popular with mountain bikers, so bring your bicycle and explore this region that forms part of the 7 Passes Route between Knysna and George. We are situated in a conservancy, so in addition to the farm animals, there is a lot of free roaming wildlife including bushbuck, bush pigs, leopard, monkeys, baboons, porcupines and a large variety of birds, so don't forget the binoculars.
