Each of our cottages and rooms are designed to suit your every need. Offering comfort and a luxurious country atmosphere. The Sandstone Cottage was my first love. Many visitors, including several honeymoon couples, have enjoyed this lovely suite. The Cottage was the first step to providing accommodation on the farm. It was a milk room, cum storeroom that was enlarged and revamped with a totally new roof structure. The front of the cottage was given a sandstone face-lift in order to fit in with all the other buildings on the property. Florence Guest farm welcomed its first guests in October 1997. The cottage was upgraded with new linen and décor in 2006. Sleep: Max 4, private 2 Bedroom: Fully equipped. Double bed Cupboard Electric blanket Electric under-floor heating Bathroom: En-suite bathroom with bath, toilet, basin and shower.

Garden: Private garden with garden furniture and braai facility. Guests must provide own charcoal. View: From the braai area you will have a view over one of the lakes. The Rondavel: The previous owner, built the rondavel using stone from an old municipal reservoir. The sandstone was cut in a round shape in order to build a round structure. After being originally connected to the old homestead, it was separated during renovations to the farmhouse 1994. In 1998, I changed the old Rondavel into a Guest Cottage. The interior received a complete makeover, creating an eclectic feel. The rondavel has the best view from your bed and sleeping in front of the fireplace is a real treat. Though the rondavel is situated just next to the main house, it is completely private. The cottage was upgraded with new linen and décor in 2006.

The Waenhuis Cottage: This charming cottage, with its spacious interior, has a unique country feel. The Waenhuis cottage, which was originally built with sandstone and clay in 1938, was retained as such, including the original sink roof. (Above the entrance to the Orchid room you will find the old cornerstone with the date 1938 inscribed.) The barn was extended in 1976. In 1989, the Steinberg family bought the land and for the first few months Judas Dube and his family stayed in the barn until their house was finished. In 2001 we used it as a packing shed for organic vegetables. When the space became inadequate, Ané immediately saw its potential, started renovations and opened the first room in March 2004. The rest of the cottage was finished inDec 2006. The beautiful front door was previously the front door of Chrissiesmeer Town Hall.

Foreigners, in particular, enjoy its charm. This room is part of the main house, but has a private entrance. It was changed into a guest room in 2000 when Wilhelm, my eldest son went to boarding school. From early childhood he had an exceptional interest in hunting, and I decorated the room bearing that in mind. For example, the tiebacks were made from the horns of impala that he had hunted. The table, with kudu-horn legs, as well as the cowhide ottoman, was made by him during his high-school years. The room was upgraded with new linen and décor in 2006.
