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.

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

Comfy cottage, great food, friendly hosts, an adorable puppy, fantastic walks and a million photo opportunities. We didn't want to leave. More

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
