Property information

The farm’s name aptly describes the reason for its establishment in around 1850 as it is located very close to a large natural spring. In years gone by the spring fed the large and abundant orchards and wheat fields that grew on the plains in front of the homestead. The carefully built furrow still channels the water past the house, but a short walk will take you to the origin of the spring and the impressive stone wall built to create a large dam, where previous owners loved to ski. Bring your walking shoes and your mountain bikes and explore the veld where several scarce plant species thrive. Pack in your binoculars for bird watching or simply light a fire outside and enjoy the brilliant night sky. There are plenty of books to read and board games to play, and two lovely verandas on which to soak up the peace and quiet.

Neighbourhood information

Things to-do off the farm Karoo Birding Safaris Enjoy the real Karoo (Koup); get down on your knees and discover the little things. The best of Karoo scenery, birds and plants. Karoo National Park 16.3km from Grootfontein Gate Day visitors are most welcome to visit the Park throughout the year – with no bookings required. The Park is popular among day visitors for its Bulkraal and Doornhoek picnic sites. Each has picnic and ablution facilities, while Bulkraal also sports a braai area, sparkling blue pool and lush, green grass all year-round. It can be found just off the Lammertjiesleegte tar road, about 10km from Reception. Please note that due to its popularity, management may be required to cap the number of guests to Bulkraal over the busy summer periods. Doornhoek is situated at the halfway mark on the circular Potlekkertjie route – about 25km from the rest camp when approaching from the Klipspringer Pass. Die Boekklub Koffiewinkel & Padstal In Merweville +/- 100km from Grootfontein. On Saturdays you can’t refuel your fuel. Beautiful Betty Coffee Shop 2 Brand Str, Beaufort West, 6970
