Langfontein Guest Farm

It was not like I expected the Karoo to be, says Marliza, when Thinus said he was buying a farm in the Karoo all I could think of was endless dry, dusty, rocky plains. What a surprise Langfontein is a bit of paradise, green and lush truly a hidden part of the Karoo just 50 km away from Graaff-Reinet. And what a surprise it was, driving through those dry, dusty, rocky plains and steadily entering a lush environment reminiscent of Mpumalanga. It was like entering a different era, where peace and tranquility rule. Turning off the sand road one travels down an avenue of oak trees, passed the dam before arriving at the manor house. It is here that a warm welcome awaits the weary traveler a cup of tea, coffee or something cold, served with homemade lavender biscuits refreshes before settling into your accommodation in the 1830s cottage at Langfontein, the farmhouse or Dots Cottage at Westbrook. While all units are self-catering, Marliza provides dinner on request as well as scrumptious quiches and boboties for those that dont want to carry extra food on their travels and just want to relax in the privacy provided by Marliza and Thinus.
