Description
A 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 Provençal-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-famous Karoo lamb.
There are still herds of the original springbuck 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 speciality of succulent Karoo lamb or venison.
The intimate pub presents the perfect chance for guests to mingle after a long day's drive ... while coffee and liqueurs are served in the gazebo, or outside under brilliant starry skies.
Or, if you're feeling slightly more energetic, why not make use of the swimming pool and boules court?
