Rietfontein Guest Farm Self Catering Accommodation Cape Town South Africa

Nestled in the hills between Barrydale and Ladismith in the scenic Little Karoo, located near the southern tip of Africa, you will find this welcoming oasis. Rietfontein Guest Farm lies on the southern foothills of the rugged Touwsberg Mountains. With an abundance of small game and a wealth of birdlife and flora, it is the perfect getaway for nature lovers and hikers. The accommodation on Rietfontein is comfortable and uncomplicated, with the emphasis on the beauty of the breathtaking natural surroundings. The 5 Cottages sleeping 4 each, with open-plan kitchen, dining area and two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. There is a separate bathroom with shower, basin and toilet. All bedding, towels, barbecue and kitchen equipment is included. All you have to bring along is your favourite food, wine and beverages.
Greenwood guides wording boldly going where no man had gone before, "I willfully imagined, mission in hand and hands on the controls, I pressed on through the otherworldly veld that stretched before me, billowing dust masking the tracks behind me.
In addition, what a magical destination. I discovered a small, blossom-filled valley in the heart of Karoo country, a gloriously green oasis, teeming with life. Scattered within five renovated farm cottages all connected by paths or footbridges that criss-cross their way through the pepper trees and reeds that divide them.
Comfortable and unfussy, many of the beams inside and all of the sturdy furniture have been constructed using original train-track sleepers. Each cottage has its own verandah, outdoor private woodfired hot tub, outdoor braai and fire area. Do make sure you bring everything you will need, as this is pretty well off-the-beaten track stuff.
Speaking of tracks, a network of mountain biking, driving and hiking routes have been, specially mapped out for you in the rugged Touwsberg Mountains all around.
If that sounds rather exhausting you can just as easily spend your time within the sanctuary of the valley – a spot of pétanque perhaps, or how about a G and T at the fresh-water pool’s very own thatched veranda or in your own private hot tub. That’s the daytime covered.
As for the night, there is only one place to be stargazing into the extraordinarily dark heavens above."
