A working wheat and sheep farm in the Overberg. Each cottage stands out of sight of the others, sharing one dam, one fire pit and a great deal of sky.

The old manager's house, at the top of the rise, with the whole valley below it. Three bedrooms, a kitchen built for actual cooking, a fireplace that draws properly, and a west-facing stoep that is the entire reason people rebook.
Availability and payment are handled by Airbnb.
A converted barn tucked behind the dam wall, so you hear water rather than anything else. High ceilings, a wood stove, and a bath set under a window that looks out at nothing but wheat.

One room and a bathroom, down at the old pump house, farthest from everything including us. Made for two people, a bottle of something, and no plans of any kind.

The Overberg is a different place every two months, and most people book without knowing that. Pick a month.
The questions we are asked most, answered here so nobody has to message us at nine at night.
We farm wheat and sheep here, as Marius's family has since 1954. The cottages came later, when the children left and three empty buildings started to feel like a waste of good roofs.
We live in the farmhouse you pass on the way in. You will probably meet us on arrival and then not again unless you want to. Some guests want the tour and the whole family history; some want to be left completely alone for four days. Both are entirely fine and you do not have to tell us which.
Ask us where to swim, which farm stall is worth the drive, and when the canola is out. We have firm opinions about all three.
See you at the gate.
For dates and prices, book on Airbnb. For a long stay, a group taking all three cottages, or a question before you commit, write to us here.
