Beestekuil Holiday Farm

Farm Holidays in Middelburg Eastern Cape

Description

The South African Holiday Farm 'Beestekuil', is situated 50km North-East of Middelburg Eastern Cape. Accommodation is provided on a Dinner, Bed and Breakfast basis. At a small charge lunch can be provided. Middelburg has been aptly named as it is, firstly, in the middle of nowhere but still centrally located to the major road networks that link the main centres. It lies in one of the most beautiful parts of the Karoo district, with mild to hot temperatures in the summer and mild to cold temperatures in the winter. The winter nights are chilly but the day temperatures are usually mild.

The typical Karoo farmhouse with a large veranda dates from the 1930’s. It is unique in that is has many pictures painted on the walls. The unconfirmed story about these paintings is that Italian prisoners of war painted them in return for board and lodging, but this still has to be verified.

The farmhouse-accommodation facilities consist of one double en-suite room with its own private entrance and one bedroom with two single beds, sharing bathroom facilities. An extra bed, per room, can be provided on request.


There is an enclosed paved courtyard with braai facilities. Dinner, Lunch and Breakfast can be served on the veranda or can be enjoyed together with the owners in the dining room. The large veranda with garden swing is also used for sundowners and provides a beautiful view to the Teebus and Koffeebus peaks. As there is no light pollution of any sort, a clear night sky provides magnificent star gazing opportunities

A small library provides reading books for a rainy day, and an internet connection as well as satellite television is available for those who cannot do without the latest news. To cool down on a hot day, a dip in the farm dam can be welcome relief.
