    Description

    Our new tourist facility is situated on a small working farm and has been running for a year now with lots of projects such as a restaurant, more tent accommodation, campsite and a foodforest (permaculture) witch we are really excited about. We are situated on the borders of the Cederberg mountain range where bouldering and hiking is very popular, and the Namaqualand which is a wild flower sensation after the winter rains and people from all over the world come to see this spectacular occurrence, and the Tankwa Karoo which is a semi desert with hundreds of kilometers gravel roads in big open spaces. There is a old German missionary not far from us which can be visited.
