- A wonderful rural location - 27 December 2007
Very much enjoyed our stay at De Erf. A little bit off the beaten track, but a wonderful rural location. Rooms were simply furnished yet stylishly with some nice personal touches. There was plenty to see in the area and the pool area was a welcome treat on return from a busy day.

Description

THE MANOR HOUSE

De Erf Manor House has been restored and recreated to offer the best that this unique part of the Karoo can provide.
About 3 km directly south of Graaff-Reinet the majestic Spandaukop towers over an almost forgotten architectural relic of early Graaff-Reinet, the homestead of the farm De Erf which lies along the Sundays River. The building, with its whitewashed walls and towering gables, was built circa 1806. It has the distinctive Cape Dutch H-shape design which it shares, in Graaff-Reinet, only with Reinet House. Almost all of the outbuildings used over the year...

Rates

Luxury en-suite double (3)
De Erf Manor House offers 3 luxury en-suite double bedrooms, with private entrances, housed in the chicken coup (bottom left) and the Black Smith's shop (top left). We have percale linen sourced from the best suppliers. Amongst other things, these rooms have DStv (satellite television), air conditioning, huge fans and mosquito nets. A fruit bowl and sherry await you upon your arrival. The floors are richly and earthly textured. The bedding is the finest you will find and all the locally, hand-crafted furniture with their dark glow are designed for maximum comfort.
You will find towels made of the finest material nesting on karoo leather strap chairs topped with all the amenities you may need or want, such as hand wrapped soaps and other splendid things in little bottles; the kind that you can stick in your handbag and make off with, like my mother does. But, please leave the towels etc. behind when you depart. The bathrooms, some with showers and others with antique ball and claw baths, have been specially fitted. The towel railings do not have heating, (who needs that in the Karoo?) but are made from sand papered dead wood branches; even your toilet roll holder is handcrafted and has its own history.
