Country Travel with a country-style breakfast served to you; then go for a leisurely stroll or some horseriding, or go and watch about 50 local Zulu artists at work in the Ardmore Ceramic Art Studio is next to the guesthouse. PhotoSky / shutterstock.com Still in Kwazulu-Natal, Stoneyhall Farm is situated at the foot of the Southern Drakensberg. In summer the air is warm to cool as you explore the rolling green hills at the foot of the mountain; in winter it turns into a white, snow-covered wonderland. Guests are accommodated in comfortable, cosy wooden cabins with stunning views. Another idyllic Drakensberg retreat is Antbear Lodge, a guest farm situated in the foothills of the mountain and overlooking the Bushman’s River Valley. The guesthouse is off the beaten track and caters for small intimate groups, never more than 12 guests at a time. To stay on a working dairy farm in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, you can book into Fountain Hall Guest Farm, 7km from Mooi River in the foothills of the Kamberg / Drakensberg Mountains on the Mearns Dam. The farm is close to pubs, restaurants, golf courses, schools, battlefields, bushman paintings and spa’s and is on the Midlands Meander route. If in the eastern Free State, you won’t go wrong with a stay on Welgelegen Guest Farm outside the town of Fouriesburg, next to the Witteberg Mountain range, and 40km from Clarens. It is a working farm with cherry and apple orchards, cattle and guest houses sleeping 55 guests. For a holiday in a typical Free State sandstone farm cottage, you may want to try the Madrid Farm Cottages on a farm that has been owned by the same family for 134 years. The farm is near Clarens. Also offering accommodation in an old sandstone building – in fact, a renovated sandstone barn – is the Oranje Guest Farm. It is a 1,200-hectare working farm, amongst the beautiful mountains of the eastern Free State between Fouriesburg and Clarens, near the border of Lesotho. Dewald Kirsten / shutterstock.com In the heart of the Northern Cape’s Karoo Highlands Route, near the town of Carnarvon, guests can enjoy staying in a traditional corbelled house on Osfontein Guest Farm. Corbelled houses only appear in parts of the Karoo where they were the first houses built in the 1800’s by the trekboers, frontier farmers who moved into the interior. Because of a shortage of building materials such as wood, they were built entirely of stone making them warm during the winter months and surprisingly cool during summer, and safe from the arrows of attacking San (Bushmen)!
