Lustine (manager and hostess) and her partner Paul (works on the farm)
Central to the Garden Route in South Africa between Mossel Bay and George. Perfect for a stopover, just 15min from the N2. If you are a nature lover, it is just the place for you. The best of both worlds- away from the holiday buzz but only a short drive to popular beaches Hartenbos and Diaz in Mossel bay . We are a functional farm (expect some farming traffic) that is partly leased to a farming company that cultivate Macadamia nuts and Avocados. We are also home to disease free buffalo, a variety of antelope, zebras, a couple of sheep and very old horse.
I would love to host you ! I love it when guest leave totally recharged and happy and especially if they return year after year. I am a professional photographer, daughter of a farmer and entrepreneur. My favorites include: Walks in nature, learning about new cultures , live music and a Mojito with sundown now and again. Inspired to to live a green life by reducing waste, making compost and recycling.
We are situated just 15 min outside of the quaint town Groot-Brakrivier with lots of coffee shops, art and everything you need, including a fantastic tourism office. Follow the Fragrance Route to the farm with a couple of stops along the way: Protea's, Friemersheim settlement, coffee, birding and MTB cycling routes.
