About St Fort Farm

At St Fort Farm you will experience Eastern Free State hospitality at its finest. St Fort has been in the Goldblatt family since 1964. We are country folk at heart. Time is measured by the sun and the changing seasons, and things happen as they should, slow and steady. Not surprisingly, St Fort has always been characterized as an open home with warm hospitality and a big heart. Stepping onto St Fort takes one back to a bygone era when life was simpler.

Accommodation

This home-stead is perfect for hosting families needing time away, couples escaping their hum-drum lives or friends catching up in the hearty home where the sense of space and freedom is inescapable.

St Fort Farm is a sandstone homestead which offers the finest in quality farm accommodation with six en-suite luxury bedrooms and the option of breakfast or self catering.

Antique furniture, DStv, a spacious kitchen with under-floor heating, and a lounge with log fire, are what make this holiday destination truly unique in this area. Some families prefer to book the whole house for their enjoyment.

Activities

Hiking:
For those who love to explore, St Fort offers four expertly laid out hiking trails, namely the two day Cannibal Hiking Trail which caters for the keen and more adventurous hiker. It includes a night spent in a cave, complete with historic rock art.

For a brisk morning or afternoon walk, we offer three shorter trails. All these trails take you through differing landscapes, from breathtaking mountain views, overhang caves, to river walks with numerous picnic spots, forest ambles and boulder hopping in and along gorges.

The trails are well marked and provide all the amenities a hiker demands, from comfortable bedding, ablution with flush toilets and hot showers as well as a reed enclosure with braai facilities.

Bird Watching:
Other activities include bird watching. At least 50 different species of birds have been spotted on the farm.

Cycling:
Bring your own bike and enjoy the freedom of riding around on the farm.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewvery good

St. Fort Farm was easily found, just a few minutes from Clarens which was useful. Up the farm road about 400metres and pulled in by the cottage and immediately greeted by a member of the staff and shown inside. Soon after greeted by delightful Lizl. Settled in to the compact, efficient space - lovely alstromeria in a vase. Enjoyed the energetic walks and the chats. Comfortable and very good value.

Verified reviewexcellent

Our family of four (two teenagers) loved the St Fort Country House! We were lucky enough to be there during the down season and had the place to ourselves. The home was lovely, we especially loved the cozy living room and fire stove. Ernestine (the owner) and Sylvia served us a marvelous breakfast every morning in the dining room. Ernestine was wonderful, answering all our questions and giving us hiking tips. Sylvia was warm and friendly. We could see how hard all the staff worked on the grounds of the country house! Speaking of hiking, there are some wonderful hikes starting at the property. I highly recommend them. And about the property itself, they hold weddings here and I can see why. The grounds are beautiful - spongy grass, flower gardens, whimsical photo spots, rabbits, wild birds, a donkey, sheep, white ducks, picturesque buildings - surrounded by the beautiful foothills. And a pond too! I will always remember this place and dream of coming back. My only suggestion is that the room we slept in needs a better wall heater. It was freezing until I warmed up under the plentiful covers.
