The Karoo Country House at Vrisch Gewaagt

Vrisch Gewaagt is a working farm - the old Victorian farm house is beautifully furnished and restored with 4 en suite bedrooms, open plan lounge /dining room and a separate guest toilet, yellow wood and oregan pine through out the house and large wide veranda with views over the Olive groves with our five horses, Max – Toffee – Bonnie – Celistino and Sultana.  

We are situated on 1800 hectares of Karoo landscape with the Swartberg as a majestic backdrop. Explore the incredible space with a 4 x 4 or walk the hiking trails deep into the kloofs discovering the Black pools where you can go fly-fishing (you would need to bring your own rods). Relax at the swimming pool with its incredible views of the Swartberg or sit awhile at the bird hide at the reed dam. A crystal clear river runs through the farm where there are sandy beaches and pools where you can cool off after a hike.  

Take time out to see a large number of tortoises feeding in the shade of the old willow trees or spot kudu, bush buck or grysbok.

In the evening dinner is served under a magnificent sky where you feel as if you can reach out and touch the stars.

These rates include:  

  • A full farm style breakfast served on the front veranda

  • A three course Dinner with complimentary locally produced wine

Take a moment in time to hang up your hat and feed your soul.
