Zoutpan Struishuis

Description

At Zoutpan Struishuis Guest Farm you will experience the warm Afrikaner hospitality of Engela and Bertie Horn in their stylishly decorated Cape Dutch apartment units. If you choose to dine 'at home', you will also experience 'boerekos' at its best.

You can participate in the normal farm activities, like the collection of ostrich eggs, milking of cows and feeding of orphaned lambs or horseriding. You will also find 1000 ostriches at any time on the farm, 180 birds of which will be breeding.

Let Engela introduce you to the Arabian horses. Breeding Arabians is another of the programmes on the farm and the elegant, proud horses seen on the farm werf will delight your senses. Take a visit to the salt pans, after which the farm is named and cast your eyes over the array of wild geese and other water fowl which tend to congregate here.

If this is not to your liking, you can relax in the beautiful communal lounge and reading area, explore the area by enjoying walking trails in the fynbos, do some bird watching, or take scenic sundowner drives, watching the African Sunset while sipping on sundowners at the lovely rock-pool, and enjoying a magical evening around an open log-fire.

For the fisherman: Bring your tackle! On the adjacent farm is a delightful area complete with ancient fish traps. Here the angling is really good, or take a drive down to Stillbay at the mouth of the Goukou River. If you are lucky, you will probably catch sight of an endangered species, the black oyster-catcher.

Wonderful farm dinner(s) by prior arrangement, or eat at any one of a number of great restaurants, all within a reasonable distance.

Only 3 hours drive from Cape Town on an equally picturesque stretch of road well worth travelling for its own sake... Zoutpan farm accommodation is rich in hospitality, caring and great old-fashioned value. It is also exceptionally well-situated to be the central point to your adventure into the Garden Route.

Only 1km from the N2 at the beginning of the Garden Route between Riversdale and Albertinia, this charming ostrich farm is the ideal halfway stopover between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, with George Airport 80km away. Staying here is the perfect centre of a hub which includes an amazing number of diverse activities in the general locale.

Experience the warm hospitality of Engela and Bertie Horn in their stylishly decorated Cape Dutch apartment units. Participate in the farm activities, observe the ostrich farming and Arabian horse breeding programmes, enjoy walking trails amongst pristine fynbos, much of which is found only in this area, and which teems with bird life and enjoy sundowner drives.
