Mymering Wine & Guest Estate

Mymering is a Wine and Guest Estate on a working farm. Nestled in the fertile Dwarsrivier Valley amongst picturesque winelands, abundant fruit farms and the magnificent Towerkop Mountain, the farm is perfectly positioned to offer you the holiday escape of your dreams.

Buffelsdrift Farm

A working olive farm on a heritage farm in the heart of the Klein Karoo, with historic buildings sensitively restored by SAOTA and Jaco Booyens Architect. The property blends contemporary and period furniture and art with original Cape Dutch architecture, offering guests a piece of South African history. Four self-catering units are available: the thatched Cape Dutch Main House with two bedrooms, a two-sided fireplace and a natural stone-lined pool; the pink-washed Wine Store nestled in the olive grove; and two converted Barns (Large and Small) with Swartberg views, fireplaces and courtyard access. Buffelsdrift sits on the R323 just outside Ladismith and makes an ideal base for exploring the Swartberg, Towerkop and the greater Klein Karoo.

Danielskraal Guest Farm

Through the little town of Calitzdorp, past stretches of rambling vineyards and orchards, tucked away in a lush valley in the depths of the Klein Karoo, lies the original farmhouse of Danielskraal. The homestead was built in 1836 with its thatched roof, thick walls and expansive veranda, the households a tangible nostalgia, that transports its guests to a time of sweeter, simpler living. The farmhouse rests on 2300 hectares of the pristine wilderness; home to hundreds of species of succulents, plants, birds, and wildlife. The Little Karoo is one of the country's most subtle, yet magnificent, desert jewels. The air seems crisper, the morning sun welcomes you and the only sounds to greet your ears are birdsong and the hurried whisper of wind through the trees.
