Poortje Game Farm, Villiers, Free State
Villiers Self-catering in Villiers
 
 

Description

Poortje Game Farm comprises three beautiful stone cottages situated in the secluded Free State farm grasslands. The cottages are surrounded by ancient rock walls and kraals shaped with a vibrant history. Several species of game traverse the farm and gather in the idyllic valley leading into the Vaal River. Because of the intimate setting of the three cottages, we only accommodate a group of friends or family members who know each other at one time.

We offer visitors an opportunity to experience the tranquility of the Free State with an array of wildlife on the farm, or just the simple freedom of being in a farm environment with cattle, sheep and fresh air for the whole family. It is a perfect breakaway opportunity from the busy city life to peaceful farm cottages where stars fill the night sky and fresh air clears the mind. It is where life's pace slows down to a tranquil walk among the game in the area. Come and experience outdoor activities like game watching, bird ringing and hiking trails.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 12:00 AM

Location: Poortje Game Farm is perfectly situated for a breakaway which is a mere hour from Johannesburg.

African Safari: Experience an array of wildlife on the farm, hike into the grasslands and bush with rock walls and various tame game, or birdwatching.

Family: We offer families a ''Jukskei" course with all the necessary equipment. There is plenty bushland to explore which is ideal for hiking, mountain biking and we offer various other board games to keep kids busy throughout the night.

Relaxation: Come and break free from the stressful, rushed life of the city to a quiet and peaceful farm environment.

Working Holidays: Visitors are welcome to partake in some daily activities on the farm. A perfect opportunity for city dwellers to expose children to the cattle, sheep and all that goes with everyday farm activities.

Marvelous stay at Poortjie Game Farm
Heike Elmering, Namibia
23 May 2012
Unforntunately we only had planed on one night and arrived late which forced Gerhard to take us there in order to not get lost, but nevertheless we had a fabulous evening at the game farm and met the two almost tame bucks in the early morning. An establishment I will always recommend. Thanks to the hosts who are so adorable.

We had an excellent two-night stay. It is nice and quiet and everything is clean. It was a pleasant stay and we are planning our next stay at Poortje Game Farm. Keep up the good work.

It was peaceful and just what we needed after a long trip from Mafikeng. Thank you Gerhard. Dit was rustig en net wat nodig was na lang rit vanaf Mafikeng. Baie dankie Gerhard.
