South Africa Guest Farms / Farm Stay

Visitors exploring the South African countryside will find staying on a farm both enjoyable and economical. Guest Farms in South Africa offer an idyllic holiday retreat. Enjoy farm-life, warm hospitality, hearty country breakfasts and overnight accommodation ranging from comfortable to luxury. This type of getaway is particularly popular with families. With milking to watch and animals to stroke, children are entertained and educated.

Sample mother nature at her best. Working farms offer overnight accommodation for the enjoyment and education of guests. You can choose between a self catered farm stay in private self-contained cottages or catered accommodation in a traditional farmhouse (with delicious farm-fresh breakfasts and dinners).
