Skoorsteenberg Farm offers a quintessential Karoo escape, a place where guests can truly disconnect and immerse themselves in the quiet rhythms of the veld. Situated on the slopes of the Skoorsteenberg mountain, the working farm provides a variety of accommodation options, from comfortable self-catering cottages to two distinct camping experiences. It's a destination where the rugged beauty of the Tankwa Karoo takes centre stage, with a sense of place that is both stark and profoundly beautiful.
For those seeking a home-away-from-home in the middle of this dramatic landscape, the farm's three-bedroom cottages are an ideal choice. Each cottage is fully equipped for self-catering, sleeping up to six guests across three bedrooms. One bedroom features a double bed, while the other two have twin beds, making them perfect for families or groups. With an en-suite in the main bedroom and a separate shower and toilet for the others, comfort is well catered for. A fully equipped kitchen and lounge open onto a verandah, providing the perfect spot to enjoy the magnificent views and vibrant sunsets that the Karoo is famous for.
The family-friendly campsite at Skoorsteenberg is a welcoming space for those who prefer to pitch a tent under the wide African sky. This site is designed for a relaxed atmosphere, with essential facilities and amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Guests can enjoy a communal braai area, and a swimming pool is available to cool off in the Karoo heat. With animals wandering the farm and plenty of space for kids to roam freely, it’s a wonderful place for families to unwind and reconnect with nature.
For the more adventurous souls, Skoorsteenberg also offers a wild camping experience. These remote campsites provide a true off-grid experience, with uninterrupted views and total immersion in nature. Here, the absence of modern distractions allows for magnificent stargazing and a deep sense of stillness. Guests can hike rugged trails in search of ancient San Rock Art, following in the footsteps of the "Boesman" who once roamed this land. This is the Tankwa at its wildest, a place to embrace solitude and the raw, untouched beauty of the landscape.
