The stone chalet (Kroonarend) is a great family chalet that sleeps six people. It has a main bedroom with a double bed, and a second bedroom with two single beds. Two additional beds in the living room can also be used.

The cottage (Swaeltjie) has two single beds in the main bedroom, (for couples they are put together to form a kingsized bed) There is a bunk bed in the lounge/kitchen. Can sleep four people.

You can use these facilities as your home base to explore the many attractions in the vicinity, or you may just want to enjoy the scenic views from the deck, or go for a hike on the many trails.

Pioneer Wagons

Why not come and enjoy a true pioneer experience in our three restored pioneer wagons? Our pioneer site offers beautiful views of the valleys and hills on the farm.

The Geelhout wagon has a double bed, with an adjoining cabin providing sleeping space for two more guests on a bunk bed.

The adjoining cabin has a toilet and hand basin, however, you need to bring your own linen and towels. There is an outdoor shower with a gas geyser for hot water.

The pioneer site also features a "lapa", or sheltered area, where guests can share their stories around a campfire. There are basic eating and cooking utensils, as well as a basin for washing dishes. A small gas stove and fridge are also available.

There is electricity in the lapa and the cabins, but it may be helpful to bring a torch along.

Campsite

Our campsite is situated in a picturesque area of the farm. It is on the site where the original farmhouse was built close to the stream.

Tents or caravans can be used. It is a favourite pastime amongst campers to hike along the stream to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The campsite is also ideal for organised groups. Own tents are to be used. The old barn (lapa) can be used for gatherings and group activities. When the whole campsite is booked by a group, a discounted rate is available.

Our clean washroom facilities consist of four toilets, basins and showers. We have electricity in the washrooms. A "donkey" (outdoor water heater) can be fired up to provide hot water for the showers. There is a small kitchen with an electrical outlet, a small fridge, a freezer and a basin for doing the dishes. There is also a convenient facility for a BBQ.

The Smithy, our Backpacker at the camp site sleeps six and the Stable sleeps eight. Guests must bring their own bedding and towels and use the ablution facilities of the campsite.
