Accommodation at Goedvertrou Guest Farm
There are three accommodation options at the farm. Aptly named, the Traveller’s Cottage can accommodate up to six people comfortably. It features three double bedrooms – two of which can be turned into twin rooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms. Amenities include a fully-equipped kitchen, outside braai area, Wi-Fi internet, smart TV, and a wood-fired small hot tub.
Want to enjoy the seclusion of the bush? Try their Bushcamp, a charming rustic campsite set in old Milkwood Trees at the foot of the mountain. The camp has no electricity and no cell phone signal – making it the perfect place to escape from the world. Amenities include a donkey geyser, braai, kitchen sink, splashpool and a small wood-fired hot tub.
