Lying in the heart of the Sneeuberg mountains, Doornberg Guest Farm is situated 60 km from Graaff-Reinet and just outside Nieu Bethesda with it’s well known Owl House. The charming village is so secluded that development took a back seat leaving a rare historical integrity. It has become a popular retreat for artists and because of its unique appeal, this is a place no visitor should miss.
Relax, soak up the sun, enjoy the peace and quiet of the Karoo. Go bird watching, game viewing or just…… curl up in front of a log fire on a cold winter evening. This Family farm has been farmed for 5 generations over 125 years. 200 year-old oaks surround the homestead and numerous fountains and streams give one a sense of peace and tranquility. The farm with its gracious hospitality and friendly staff is reminiscent of days of yesterday.
