FarmstayRated 4.7 in 247 Reviews
Leeuwenboschfontein Guest Farm, located between Worcester, Touwsriver, and Montagu in South Africa, is situated approximately two hours from Cape Town. The 1,280-hectare property is uniquely positioned at the confluence of three biomes: the central mountain Renosterveld, the little succulent Karoo, and the lowland succulent Karoo, creating a diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna.
The accommodation facilities have been thoughtfully developed to maintain an authentic farm atmosphere while offering varying levels of comfort. The property features six separate units: the Bungalow, De Kraal, Willows Cottage, and the original manor house, which has been divided into three units - De Oude Opstal, Bergzicht Cottage, and Dalzicht Cottage. Additionally, there is a campsite with 29 stands. De Oude Opstal is specifically equipped to accommodate groups and small conferences.
The guest farm offers numerous recreational activities including acclaimed 4x4 trails, hiking, mountain biking, boating and fishing in the dams, bird watching, and stargazing. The property's clear night skies make it ideal for astronomical observation, and during winter months, visitors may experience occasional snowfall. The farm, which previously cultivated potatoes, has received multiple accolades, particularly for its 4x4 trails, which have been recognized among Go! Drive Out's Top Ten Trails.
The environment is particularly notable for its sensitive endemic ecosystem, offering visitors an authentic Klein Karoo experience characterized by rolling mountains, vast scrubland, and serene atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from urban life.
