Description
The Drumsheugh Farmstead and Cattle Farm is set in the heart of the Green Kalahari. Relax while enjoying the natural surrounds of the Kalahari in a remote and private area on a working farm 60 km east of Askham, on the R31 towards Van Zylsrus, which is a gravel road. The Cottage can be accessed by a normal vehicle, however, the 5 km road from the main gate to the Farmstead is thick sand and requires a vehicle with 4x4 driving capabilities.
Self-catering accommodation is offered in a large, luxury Farmstead and an African-styled Cottage. The Farmstead can accommodate up to 26 guests and is ideal for large groups or family gatherings. The Cottage can accommodate up to 4 guests.
Both the Farmstead and the Cottage have their own kitchen facilities that are well-equipped with cutlery and crockery, glasses and basic utensils. Cleaning materials are also supplied complimentary over and above the daily cleaning services. All foodstuff, beverages and bottled water must be purchased before arrival, and Askham and Van Zylsrus are the closest towns. Starter welcome coffee, tea, and milk are supplied.
Good quality beds guarantee a good night's rest. Linen and towels, and a limited supply of shampoo, bath soap and toilet paper are provided. All bedrooms and the main living spaces are equipped with air-conditioning. For those cold winter nights, you are in for a treat; wood fireplaces and braai facilities are available at both properties. A limited amount of firewood is supplied daily, and additional bundles can be purchased. Open space parking is available at each property.
