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.
