  • Facilities
Nestled at the foot of the Touwsberg, on the banks of the Touws River, lies Wolverfontein Farm. This farm, just off Route 62, was established in 1890.

This “Volstruis Paleis” was built at the height of the ostrich feather boom and serves as the reception area to the two accommodation options on offer; Zara Cottage and D'WaenHuis.

Zara Cottage is a three-bedroom home, fully furnished and is a tongue-in-cheek look at country living over the past five decades. Zara Cottage has a full gas kitchen, two bathrooms, and plenty shaded outdoor space.

Alternatively, you can explore your wild side in the retro-pioneer D'WaenHuis. This fully restored farm building, with its high Oregon ceilings, was built in 1880. Submerge yourself in this stylishly interpretation of the early South African settler trader’s lifestyle. D'WaenHuis is a one-bedroom converted barn with an open-plan kitchen and lounge area. It sleeps two guests comfortably but has a sleeper couch for two extra guests if required.

Fresh water is provided for cooking, but all facilities are fed by ground water. Enjoy open veld and an unprecedented, uninterrupted view of the Milky Way for night owls.

Superb self catering cottage in the mid karoo. Well equipped in art deco style in the soul rejuvenating Karoo climate, away from it all. Ashley as the caring and entertaining host makes this a must do in the Karoo, away from it all!

The cottage took us back in time with its old-world charm. The quiet of the farm and the beautiful stars made it a wonderful stay. Thank you.

The first impression, from afar - "what have we done?" Then the friendly reception , the cottage ,with the basics and everything, that blends into the Karoo landscape. I played my favourite Queen CD then turned it off after a few minutes - you just can't compete with the total silence of the place. That night we were entertained by a classic Karoo thunderstorm rolling through the berg - what a performance. We took the non-preferred road back to Route62 through a private game park and were able to spot some of their animals. Our whole stay was a magnificent experience.

We had a very pleasant stay: very friendly hosts, Cottage is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Delicious salads for the braai, stargazing at night was unique! I hope we can come back again soon!

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived at the farm gate by Ashley and his four legged friends all decked out in rugby jerseys! They provided endless entertainment for the children which gave us an opportunity to relax and enjoy the scenery. D’ Waenhuis was equipped with everything we needed and more and furnished with the most interesting collectables. It was spacious, well equipped and we had views over the veldt from every window. You cannot help but unwind on this farm and your hosts will ensure you have everything you need to do so, even bringing you extra blankets in the evening when the temperature reached -3 degrees! Thank you again Ashley and Andre for making our stay so memorable. I'm longing to be back already!
