Kearneys Guest Farm

Kearneys Guest Farm is a fully furnished farm house situated in the heart of the Marico Bush Veld, surrounded by breathtaking nature. The Marico river runs through the lower part of the farm. It is located 13 km from the town of Groot Marico, which lies between Zeerust and Rustenburg, just off the N4, known as the Platinum Highway. The town is named after the Groot-Marico river, one of the few perennial rivers in the area.

The guest farm can accommodate up to 20 people. It has four bedrooms with double beds, an open room with single beds for children (12 beds), and a built-on rondavel. Bedding and linen are provided. The facilities include a lounge with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a 200u201au00d1u00ec fridge, a 4-plate gas stove without an oven, a microwave, a 2-plate mini stove, a kettle, and a toaster. There is also a boma with braai facilities and an oven, three toilets, one bath, two showers, and an outside shower.

Guests can enjoy the swimming pool at the owner's house at any time. They can also swim in the Marico River, which is a 5-minute walk from the house. Other activities include quad trails in the game farm (guests need to bring their own quad), hiking trails of approximately 6-10 km, and bird watching. There is no TV or cell phone coverage on the farm.

Guests are advised to bring their own sun protection, fly venom, candles, picnic blankets, mosquito repellent, dish cloths, towels, torches, dish washing soap, toilet paper, and extra wood for their convenience.
