Past & Present

In 1865, Boontjiesrivier (as the farm was originally known) was the home of a French Huguenot, Hermanus François le Roux..

Today, olive trees and aromatic lavender bushes have replaced the burnt vineyard and apricot trees. The original barn has been renovated and now boasts the new Lodge Restaurant which offers peaceful views over the olive orchards while guests breakfast and dine  

Accommodation

Our five luxury cottages are separated into ten spacious en suite guest rooms.

Each has their own fireplace, a bathroom with heated floors, a Victorian bathtub as well as an outside shower. The ceilings are open reed and lie under thatched roofing. From the veranda or shower, guests have a spectacular view of the Karoo Koppies, Waboomberg Mountains and four hectares olive orchard.

A honeymoon suite with a four-poster double bed is also available.
