Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm operates as a working veld management and flower conservation establishment, featuring three self-catering sandstone and thatched cottages. These historically charming accommodations are fully equipped, utilizing gas lamps and lanterns for lighting, and gas geysers for warm water supply.
The cottages offer fully equipped kitchens for self-catering guests, while those seeking additional comfort can opt for three-course dinners and breakfasts served at the main house. Each cottage features an inside hearth and down duvets, with hot water bottles provided during winter months.
The property boasts extensive recreational opportunities, including hiking, biking, and birdwatching, with 146 bird species documented in the area. Visitors can explore unspoiled fynbos, the world's largest range of indigenous bulbous plants, San rock art, and scenic canyons. A private waterfall and natural rock swimming pool are accessible near the cottages.
The establishment spans across three beautiful farms, with two located 8 kilometers from the main Papkuilsfontein property. Accommodation options include restored stone cottages at Papkuils, the Historic Matjiesfontein werf, and De Lande for groups. The area is renowned as the "Bulb Capital of the World," featuring the highest speciation of indigenous bulbous flowers globally.
Multiple eco-campsites are available on the property, each offering privacy and basic amenities including gas-fired showers, basins, solar-lit kitchen facilities, and outdoor braai areas. These sites can accommodate varying numbers of guests, ranging from two to four persons per site, providing an intimate nature experience while maintaining essential comforts.
