On-Site Facilities
Ricky’s Drift operates entirely off-grid, ensuring an uninterrupted stay with uncapped Wi-Fi and no impact from load-shedding. The healing garden, brimming with edible plants, flowering shrubs, and fruit trees, provides a serene space to unwind, while the stoep offers a perfect setting to enjoy tea, coffee, and homemade cake. A natural pool invites guests for a refreshing swim, and scenic hiking trails wind through the surrounding landscapes, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and farmlands.
For those wanting to take a piece of this experience home, the farm shop stocks handcrafted soaps, locally made art, and farm-fresh produce. Whether seeking quiet contemplation or outdoor exploration, this eco-conscious sanctuary offers a one-of-a-kind retreat in the Klein Karoo.
Location & Attractions
Van Wyksdorp, a charming village in the heart of the Klein Karoo, is located along the R327 from Ladismith, just off the renowned R62. Once a flourishing town during the ostrich feather trade, it is now a serene hideaway surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas and conservation land.
Though slightly off the main tourist routes, the village’s remote setting, accessible via a gravel road and situated 42 kilometres from Barrydale and Ladismith, preserves its timeless appeal. For those willing to travel a little further, Van Wyksdorp remains an unspoiled treasure waiting to be discovered.
