Go on a veld-drive:
to get the best out of a drive, why not ask
your hosts to take you and discover bewitching
Karoo scenery as far as the eye can see.
Take a walk
on our marked foot trails and marvel at the
amazing variety of plant
growth in the Karoo.

During the shearing season,
we encourage our guests to participate in the
activities of gathering the sheep and goats
for shearing. Children just love learning
more about where wool comes from.

Other activities
nearby (but not on the farm) include:
• Golf
• Tennis • Guided tours of historical sights
• Trout fishing • Camdeboo National
Park
and its incredible Valley of Desolation

“Our
first visit to your lovely farm & The Stone
Cottage guest house was over 7 months ago @
the start of our epic journey through Africa
on bicycles, you were the first strangers to
take us in. Now 7 months later we were back
and this time as FRIENDS. Thank you for all
the kindness the two of you have shown us, you
two are LEGENDS and FRIENDS For Eva. You have
an amazing farm and The Stone Cottage ROCKS!!!
I will be back, but not on a bicycle!"
