Kuilfontein Stable Cottage

 
 

Description

Perfectly situated stopover, next to the N1 and near Colesberg, for travellers from Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal to the Cape, Kuilfontein Stable Cottages offers superior Provencal-style accommodation in a delightful converted stable block. The historic former racehorse stud farm has been in the Southey family since 1875. Leigh and Penny Southey, and their staff, are renowned hosts - and guests who stay here often become friends.

Kuilfontein has been in the Southey family for five generations, and has borne witness to a rich history, from wars, to drought, and floods. The original homestead was built in 1818, and the present family took ownership in 1875. It has been an ostrich and sheep farm, and racehorse stud and today is a mixed farming operation that produces South Africa's world’s famous Karoo lamb. There are still herds of the original spring buck roaming the plains.

The feed room was the original feed and tack room of the stable block. A fusion of country and contemporary cuisine is served on gleaming yellowwood tables by a resident chef using the farm's produce whenever possible. Start your day with a health breakfast of cereals, muffins and scones, farm butter, and homemade jam. And for winter dinners, treat yourself to the farm's specialty of succulent Karoo lamb or venison.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 09:30 AM

Character: An historical homestead and farm involved with the early settlers in the Karroo. Vast open spaces to walk and contemplate life with a stillness only known in the Karoo.

Food & Gastronomy: The Karoo is famous for it's organic lamb and Chef, Maryke Jeffrey, produces gourmet country cuisine with the freshest farm ingredients with style and aplomb. The wine cellar in a feed trough is an unexpected find.

It is conveniently situated alongside the N1. We spent a very pleasant night there, the rooms were comfortable, the electric blankets kept the cold away, the hosts were very attentive. The dinner and breakfast were superb. Would definitely recommend it.
