Hester and her team of competent staff have truly mastered the skill of welcoming you into their corner of paradise yet letting you feel like you stumbled upon it yourself. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The meals were surperb, the ambience rejuvenating for weary souls and the hospitality first class. Fantastic for young children who get the feel of... More

We came from Wales to hear about sheep - and left with a thousand wonderful memories. Hester and JP were magnificent hosts and JP's knowledge and unassuming enthusiasm were beyond parallel. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer, but we'll be back. Gaynor & Peter Weavers Talgarth Wales More

There were 9 of us in our group, 2 of whom were sheep farmers and the half hour sheep shearing tour took well over an hour, what with comparing prices in Wales for livestock, fleeces etc - great fun. The fossil tour was captivating and fascinating - everybody was enthralled. JP's enthusiasm and Hester's hospitality made this a great visit. More

Stayed for a few nights on this perfectly situated farm, ideal for exploring the surrounding Karoo. On top of fantastic hosts, the accommodation and service is excellent, but the food alone is well worth the trip from Scotland. Already planning my return...! More

We arrived at Ganora on 22nd Sept for our usual stop over on our way to Cape Town. We were aware that the Nieu Bethesda festival was to go on that weekend and we found the Cape Town Waterfront Art college students - participants in the Festival - were also guests of Hester and JP on the Farm.

The comfort of the accomodation is only bettered by the quality of the food. JP's passion for his fossils comes through clearly in his informative and hands on expeditions. Where else can you see fossils still embedded in the rock. Hester and JP run an extremely organised and efficient set-up. Thank you guys for a great weekend! More
