Skaapwagtersrus is situated on the popular R62 on Al Bustan farm, four and a half kilometers from the town of Barrydale heading towards Montagu, in the Little Karoo. Perched on a hill, it is easily accessible by car and overlooks our olive groves and the neighbouring farm.
According to the locals this cottage originally served as accommodation for sheep and goat herders, dating back to roughly 100 years. The cottage is restored in such a way that it retains its former character, with facilities that are simple yet functional.
There is no electricity, so lighting is provided the old-fashioned way with gas, candles and paraffin lamps. Braai facilities and firewood are available for purchase at the main house. Pets are welcome, as long as they are well-trained.
The view of Barrydale, the sweeping scenery of the Tradouw valley, and the majestic Langeberg Mountains fill you with a sense of wonder. There is an abundance of bird-and plant life for those outdoor enthusiasts and lovely walks around the farm.
