Whipstock Guest Farm

 
 

Description

Come and visit Whipstock Guest Farm and turn back time to a more relaxed pace of life away from the hustle and bustle. Located in the rain shadow of the Sonderend Mountains, on the banks of the Koningsriver, we have kept a small part of rural South Africa remarkably untouched by progress.

We offer six self-catering cottages, each with an atmosphere and charm of its own. The cottages are equipped with coffee and tea-making facilities, fireplaces, and towels are also supplied. The accommodation reflects its natural surroundings of beautiful countryside living, and rates include a hearty three-course dinner as well as an English breakfast. In addition, self-catering facilities are available for guests in the main house. The games room offers a bar with guest fridges, table tennis and a dartboard, and a television with full DStv. A variety of board games are also available and a library is available for readers to browse.

Whipstock Guest Farm is a prefect getaway for adults with children, as the farm offers a myriad of activities to keep the little ones busy, including a little petting zoo where children and their parents can help at feeding time. Our animal kingdom includes rabbits, turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, sheep and pigs. Children can also help collect eggs from the chicken-run and there is a wonderful farm dam with clean water for swimming and canoeing - perfect for those hotter summer days.

The surrounding areas are underdeveloped, lending a rustic charm to the scenery for great walks or mountain bike rides. Short and longer trails have been laid out on the farm such as the "Over the Hills" walk and the "Valley Walk". With Whipstock Farm far from any development, the night sky is clear and the stars are unbelievably visible. At night, stargazing is a journey into another world. The surrounding wine estates offer stylish wine-tasting outings, and the fascinating, historic and artist town of McGregor is only 7 km away, providing a supermarket, numerous shops, and restaurants

Check-In  01:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Location: Located just 7 km from the charming village of McGregor.

Family: Let the children help feed the animals and collect eggs from our chicken-run.

Wonderful
Barbara Stewart, South Africa
22 May 2012
We had the most wonderful time! We were collected promptly from the end of the Boesmanskloof Trail and taken to pots of hot tea and filtered coffee and a huge fire. After resting our weary legs we took a short walk to a beautiful Chrystal clear dam. If the weather had been warmer I would have loved to have a dip. The home cooked dinner and breakfast were outstanding! Thank you Dennis and Gail we will be back!
