Description

Jakkalswater Gasteplaas, is a family and nature-oriented guest farm, about 13 km outside Springbok, on the Nababeep road and about 6 km off the N7 highway, in the heart of Namaqualand.

It is nestled in the slopes of granite boulders, where quiver trees overlook the valley and Klipspringers roam. Jakkalswater is entirely off the grid and green. The incredibly pure and delicious water is obtained from a natural underground fountain. Power is supplied by solar panels and the geysers work with gas.

There are 14 Family units for guests to choose from to suit their needs. The premium Family units accommodate between 2 to 5 guests. All units are ensuite and carefully decorated with fully equipped kitchenette. The standard units, are also all equipped for all your self catering needs and can accomodate 2 to 4 guests, as they are a bit smaller. The rooms all have exceptional views both overlooking the farm and beautifully maintained kokerboom gardens.

The friendly employees are all from the local community and they thrive to serve their guests.

Jakkalswater also has a beautiful chapel, where your dream wedding can be held. It is nestled in the giant granite mountains and has a breathtaking view of the Namaqua Valley. There is a very large sheltered venue facility lapa, where the function can be held - equipped with braai facilities, bathrooms and all the essential amenities. The venue is also ideal for seminars and gatherings, where large numbers of guests can gather and are currently hosting a number of well-known organisations' annual functions.

About half of the plant species here, do not occur anywhere else in the world. When the winter rains fall, the farm and surrounding granite boulders are wrapped in a floral blanket which creates the most beautiful floral spectacle in the world. With nearly 3,000 plant species, including goat bark vygies, daisies, Gazania's, cat tails etc.

Guests can walk around the farm and enjoy the scenery. Climb the granite hills and seek out the mysterious Klipspringers and the baboons, who make the mountains their home, or walk in the dry riverbanks, looking for the speckled padloper, while the floral kingdom is admired. Jakkalswater is a destination of its own, but also offers guests an ideal overnight option en route to Namibia, the Richtersveld and the northern west coast of South Africa.
