CALITZDORP ACCOMMODATION

KRUISRIVER GUEST FARM

Kruisriver Guest Farm is situated at the foothills of the majestic Swartberg Mountains between Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp. They offer self-catering cottages or camping for those who love to get away from the bustle of everyday life.

The most outstanding feature of this farm, apart from its scenic setting, is its absolute sense of peace and quiet while the constant murmur of running water lulls you into complete relaxation.

Your hosts, Sybrand en Martlie Strydom, stem from the Strydom-family who has farmed Kruisriver since 1759. Guests are accommodated in the Mill house. Other historical attractions include an old water-mill. Kruisriver Guest Farm allows for a number of outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, mountain biking and bird watching. There is much to occupy children of all ages: swings, sand/mud playing pit, mud fights (when the natural pool is empty) and crab catching in the streams.
