Day trips

Oudshoorn is only 159km away with the Cango Caves, Ostrich show farms and the Meerkats.

The beautiful Meiringspoort is 95km away. Guests can enjoy a picnic basket at one of the picnic sites, walk to the waterfall or take a refreshing swim in the pool below.

The Swartberg Pass, know as a World Heritage Site, is still in it's original state, built by prisoners. The road is gravel and in a good condition with breathtaking beauty which is worth seeing - this can be combined with the trip to Meiringspoort.

We are only 17km from the famous Karoo National Park, guests can enjoy a day visit or night drive and their fossils are but one attraction.

The late Dr. Chris Barnard grew up in Beaufort West, there is a museum devoted to him. The town has a rich history with typical old houses, water furrows and pear trees also lining the streets.
