Simplicity, authenticity, elegance and comfort.
Closer than you think, surrounded by 360° mountain views, is this sanctuary in the Little Karoo. Choose your favourite view from a selection of five self-catering farm cottages. You are welcome to bring your pets by prior arrangement.
All cottages have fully equipped kitchens as well as outdoor braai (barbecue) facilities on the stoep (patio). Instead of TVs, we provide panoramic views and glorious birdsong during the day, and star-studded skies serenaded by owls and jackals at night.

FISH EAGLE has two bedrooms; one fitted with a double bed and the other with two single beds (which can be converted to a kingsize bed). The delightfully quaint kitchen is fully equipped and the original huge fireplace makes the lounge/dining area very cosy. The bathroom leads off the main bedroom (i.e. guests in the 2nd bedroom will need to enter the bathroom via the main bedroom) and has a solar-powered hot water shower. Outdoors there is a patio, braai, fire pit and bath-tub with spectacular mountain views.
The yelping calls of the Fish Eagles can be heard daily and their fishing tactics observed from the koppie on which the cottage is situated.
PALE CHANTING is back to back with Fish Eagle, and faces an area of typical Klein Karoo plain and a mountain backdrop. This plain is the hunting ground of our resident Pale Chanting Goshawks, and they are readily observed from the stoep (patio).
This private, comfortable cottage sleeps 2 in a double bed. The kitchen has huge fireplace and is nicely equipped. The bathroom has a shower and toilet. An outdoor patio contains a braai (barbecue) and outdoor bath-tub to enjoy the peace, quiet and mountain views.
Fish Eagle and Pale Chanting are ideal cottages for couples travelling together.

Pet-friendliness
As animal lovers ourselves, we understand that not only people form part of your family, your pets do too. A holiday without them is like leaving your children behind (sometimes you need to, but most times you want them there!).
So, provided we have both agreed beforehand, please feel free to bring your pet when you come and stay with us – please also fully familiarise yourself with our Pet Policy (see “Terms and Conditions” section of our website) as by bringing your pet/s onto our property, it means that you agree to be bound by our Pet Policy and that you are fully responsible for your pet.
Pet-friendly means that we will treat your animals with the love and respect that we show our own animals. Pets are welcome within the cottages and to exercise and explore the farm – however they need to do so under supervision, both to protect other guests and their pets as well as your own pet (as this is a farm surrounded by natural vegetation, naturally your pets may encounter certain threats such as our pool, dam, snakes or birds of prey).
Our farm is however fully fenced and we have not had any negative experiences to date. On request, we can provide a dog bed and/or bowl.
Terms & conditions apply - please refer to our
Swimming pool and lapa
Functions Venue
We offer a lovely function venue that caters up to 25 people. The venue includes the Khaya Karoo Pizza Bar, bar, pool and lapa. We can prepare pizzas and provide a bar service, or you can cater the function yourself.
The two cottages closest to the venue, Bokmakierie and Nonnetjie, must be booked along with the venue. You are welcome to book the other cottages too, of course. Contact us for a quote.
Functions need to be in keeping with the quiet and calm of the farm - although we appreciate festivities, we do not allow excessively loud or disorderly behaviour.
When the Pizza Bar is not being used for functions, other guests are also welcome to make use of these facilities (pizza oven, gas oven, wood-fired oven, board games etc).
