CATEGORY:

ACCOMMODATION, CONFERENCE VENUE, OUTDOOR ADVENTURE

LOCATION: GARIEP DAM

DESCRIPTION:

The perfect country retreat for the nature-lover and discerning traveller. The farm offers spacious suites which open onto a garden courtyard.

 

Orange Valley Guest Farm is situated on the R58 approximately 10km from the Gariep Dam, 15km from the N1 and 40km North of Colesberg. The farm lies just below the Gariep Dam wall on the border between Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and Free State. Tar roads take you straight to our door where you’ll be greeted with typical Karoo hospitality. A short walk along our farm will lead you to the Orange River.

 

For something a little different; hike, horse ride or mountain bike through the neighbouring Oviston Nature Reserve. Various species of antelope are easily spotted along with zebra and the shy Brown Hyena.

 

All suites are spacious and private and have their own en-suite bathroom, private entrance and a quaint garden. Ceiling fans, heaters and tea and coffee making facilities are provided in each suite. You’ll feel at home in our cozy pub and dining room where home-made dinners and country breakfasts are served.

 

Small to medium conferences of up to 16 people can be accommodated. White board or flip chart and TV are available. We also provide an overhead projector.

 

We offer pony rides for children, which are about 10 minutes in length, and a guide leads the horses. A 1 ½ hour trail is for the adventurous guest. You will walk, trot or canter along streams, the Orange River and wide-open plains. Our trail horses are well trained and saddled with Western gear.
