Skeiding Guest Farm is a working ostrich farm located near the N2 highway, midway between Cape Town and Knysna. The farm is situated on high, open rolling terrain, offering beautiful mountain views. It is owned and operated by Neels and Annu00e8-Lize, an energetic couple who manage the farm, a young family, two dogs, and a guesthouse.

The guest farm offers both bed and breakfast accommodation as well as self-catering cottages. Guests can enjoy home-cooked country cuisine prepared by Annu00e8-Lize and her team, with Neels serving as the meat chef on the open fire when not tending to farm work. A three-course menu is served every evening at the family dining table, and the farm can accommodate dietary requirements and special occasions upon request.

The accommodation consists of six rooms and four cottages, all equipped with amenities such as en-suite bathrooms, heaters, ceiling fans, electric blankets, ostrich leather slippers and gowns, hair dryers, and complimentary South African port. The rooms and cottages are named after plants, animals, and birds commonly found in the area, which is a birder's paradise.

One of the highlights of a stay at Skeiding Guest Farm is the daily farm tour led by Neels at 07:30. Guests can experience a hands-on tour, feeding the ostriches, observing the working dogs (Border Collie and Australian Kelpie) with the sheep, and visiting other farm animals. The owners believe that a stay at their farm can truly add value to guests' lives.
