Stay on the farm

Four self catering cottages, by the dams and up on the slopes, and a campsite by the river. Every cottage has a fireplace, a braai and a stoep.

Ou Opstal

The old homestead, a thousand metres up, with the Koo on one side and the Keisie on the other.

Sleeps 2 to 4 · 1 000 m up · from R1 000 a night midweek

Populierbos

A campsite by the river, under the poplars.

Oom Niel Burger designed and built Populierbos himself, at the age of 80. It’s the simplest way to sleep on the farm: a tent, the river and a lot of stars.

  • I have been coming here since I was 2 years old. 20 years later it is still an absolutely wonderful place to visit.

  • Definitely one of our highlights in South Africa. If you are anywhere near Montagu, this is a must do.
