Description
At the historic farm Nooitgedacht, on the banks of the Vaal river, 20km from Potchefstroom in the well known Vredefort dome world heritage area, you can wake up in the morning with the call of the fish eagle and really get peace of mind away from the city rush to enjoy the beautiful African nature. GP and Hesmé Schoeman are the proud owners of this beautiful family farm that belongs to the Schoeman family since 1856. Some of the original buildings survived the test of time and the war of 1899 to 1902, when nearly every building in the old Transvaal and Free state was burned down. Evidence of the war can be seen in the cellar where shrapnel damaged the ceiling and roof. The foundations of the old house that was burned down by the British troops can also be seen. The old “waenhuis” is one of the oldest buildings, if not the oldest, in the region and dates from the early pioneer time. The original “klipkraal”, “landmuur” and cemetery can also be seen. There are ruins of iron age kraals as well as the Amazon mine where gold was mined from 1886. The farm is well known for superb yellow fish waters. To catch this indigenous fish on a fly, is an experience every enthusiast must get. On the farm there is also hiking routes and ideal routes for jogging and mountain bikes. Close to the farm you can go for game viewing, river rafting as well as a lot of other activities that are available.
