Rhenostersfontein Werf
About
Rhenostersfontein Werf is a charming self-catering cottage surrounded by open fields and peaceful farm scenery. Whether you're looking for a quiet weekend as a couple, a family getaway, a few days with friends, or an outdoor escape filled with walking, cycling and birdwatching, this is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Spend your days exploring the farm on foot, following the walking routes and discovering the tagged plant species along the way. Bring your binoculars for birdwatching, your bicycles for a leisurely ride, or your camera to capture the beautiful landscapes, historic buildings and quiet corners of the farm. The historic Rhenosterfontein buildings and ruins, dating back to the late 1700s, add a fascinating sense of history and character to the property.
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to maximum three adults and one child. The main bedroom features a queen-size bed and peaceful views across the fields. A separate sleeping nook located in the living area has a ¾ day bed with a pull-out single bed, making it suitable for one adult and one child.
The open-plan living area and kitchen create a comfortable space to relax and spend time together, with large glass windows overlooking the fields. An indoor braai makes cosy evenings at home especially enjoyable. Prepare a meal together, light the fire, pour a glass of wine, make a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and settle in with a game of cards while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The cottage includes a bathroom with a shower and toilet, as well as an additional separate toilet. Guests have access to Wi-Fi and a Smart TV, while the kitchen is equipped with a microwave, fridge, oven, stove, crockery and cutlery. Towels and soap are provided for your convenience.
Outside, enjoy the farm at your own pace, with outdoor braai facilities and seasonal views that change throughout the year as crops such as canola and wheat transform the landscape. Ceiling fans provide added comfort during warmer days.
When you feel like exploring beyond the farm, Witsand and the coast are an added bonus. Spend a day at the beach, discover the surrounding countryside, or venture further afield towards De Hoop and the beautiful routes and landscapes of the region.
Come for the peace and beauty. Stay for the walks, the history, the open spaces and those long evenings around the fire.
One night? We have a feeling you will wish you'd booked two.
Accommodation
There is something special about escaping to the farm, where mornings begin slowly, the views stretch a little further, and there's space to simply enjoy being together.
