Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm 

Soak up the peace and tranquillity of our three beautiful farms, two of them are 8 km from the main Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm which is situated 23.4 km southeast of Nieuwoudtville on the Bokkeveld Plateau, where the Cape Fynbos meets the Hantam Karoo.

Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm lies in the heart of the Hantam Karoo and is described as a "tip". Main attractions are the seasonal flowers bloom, hiking trails, an awesome 180 metres deep gorge with a waterfall and numerous rock paintings. 

Our Accommodation 

Our historic estate offers a choice of accommodation which can be booked with or without meals. 

Stay in the old, beautifully restored stone cottages, in your own private Fynbos setting, or on the historic Matjiesfontein werf.

On our De Lande farm the beautiful appointed De Lande guesthouse with 6 en-suite rooms is ideal for groups. 

Alternatively, put up your tent on our campsite which is suitable for 8 people and sits on the extreme right side of the property so as to be private and away from our other guests on the farm. There is a Lapa, and a Sonkwas reed hut, built to be reminiscent of the reed dwellings in the area, houses the bathroom (with one hot shower) as well as one separate flush toilet.

Activities 

In spring, enjoy the world-renowned flowers in this "Serengeti of the floral kingdom". This area is also known as ”the Bulb Capital of the World” because it has the highest speciation of indigenous bulbous flowers on earth. Experience the rich bird life, fauna, and San rock art.

Swim in the cool waters of a natural rock pool or in the pool at the cottages, built to be reminiscent of a farm dam.

Hike the trails through sandstone rock formations and don’t forget to bring your mountain bike. 

We are so excited to announce our brand new outdoor activity on our Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm (starting end of November 2023) - Fynbos on the Edge. Curious? Find out more on our website!

Dining 

Our farm kitchen is the heart of the farm. This is where your pre-booked homemade meals are being prepared as well as where breakfasts are served for non-self-catering guests. Browse through the variety of home-made products or just stop for something to nibble on, maybe select a present for somebody back home or even a bag of wood.
