The Farm Bathurst

The Farm Bathurst is a game farm located approximately halfway between Grahamstown and Bathurst in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It is also situated roughly midway between Port Elizabeth and East London. The farm is home to various species of game animals and birds.

Guests at The Farm Bathurst can observe giraffes being fed in the mornings and can also feed the donkeys on the premises (visitors are encouraged to bring apples and carrots). Game drives can be arranged, and guests are free to walk around the farm. Mountain biking is also permitted, and those seeking longer distances can explore the many kilometers of gravel roads surrounding the farm, suitable for both cycling and running. For the more adventurous, there is the option to swim in the farm's dams.

Accommodation is provided in two self-catering units: Die Erf Too and Acacia Cottage. Both units are fully equipped to ensure a comfortable stay. Guests need to bring their own food, beverages, personal belongings, and some drinking water. Die Erf Too features two en-suite bedrooms that can accommodate up to five guests, as well as an open-plan living area.

Only Acacia Cottage has a TV, which can be activated at an additional cost if required. There is also a campsite on the premises with hot water, a shower, and a flush toilet.

Acacia Cottage comprises two double bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan lounge, dining room, and kitchen. The cottage features ceiling fans in all rooms, and the raised verandah offers great views of the farm. There is an inside fireplace for cold winter nights.
