All about

The Old School

The old school, which was used in the 1980’s and 90’s has been converted into guest accommodation. The setting is simple and rustic.  This is where guests enjoy a glimpse of a real working farm.  It overlooks the farm workshop and sheep feedlot areas.

From the outside, the Old School building could be mistaken for one of the staff houses.   But once inside, you will be happily surprised by the simple décor style, original art, and comfortable, modern finishes. From the verandah, guests can step out onto a small, enclosed patch of planted grass, which is usually kept short by stock being allowed in to graze from time to time!

Open plan living kitchen area. Includes a single bed, an extra mattress will be provided as necessary. Opens onto a covered stoep

There is no TV, and WiFi service is limited.  Cell phone signal is inconsistent.
