Fountain Hall Guest Farm

A stunning and quiet campsite on the river, that you access through the farm and cow fields.  Simple facilities on site - with BBQ stands, a fire pit, wood, and hot water (yay!) in the showers.  No electricity at the camp site, so very tranquil. 

We had a lovely stay at Fountain Hall Guest farm. We were impressed with the space and the atmosphere. Firewood was provided and both evenings we had a sit on dinner at candlelight which we enjoyed a lot. A nice place to relax. Our guest who came from France and owns a chicken farm found it very interesting. We shall definitely return soon. During the day we explored the surroundings Beautiful part of our country.

We just spend the weekend camping and we had an absolutely wonderful time, the setting at the dam is really beautiful and we were very lucky to be the only people there. We will definitely go back.

We stayed over Thursday night 30 May 2013. Departure Friday Morning 31 May. The facilities was as described on the SafariNow site. We found the bed comfortable. The underfloor heating in the bathroom is just divine when freshly bathed feet connected with the bathroom tiles, In fact I took a hot bath before bed the previous evening and again the next morning. Kevin provided wood for the fireplace and we transferred our evening dining from the kitchen table to the dining table in the spacious living/dining area while the fireplace heated the whole area. We did not make use of the full DSTV in the main bedroom as we had enough of it at home. We enjoyed the tranquility and quiet of the farm instead. The next morning we awoke early (wife had the Comrades jitters) but enjoyed the warmth of the bed. My 8 year old daughter and my in-law's came along for the trip. My daughter made friends with the ginger farm cat, and finally dragged us out of bed for an early morning farm stroll. We had to make up some time because we planned a big breakfast at the Bierfasl on Nottingham road. The Kitchen only opened after 9. Unfortunatly we were a bit early for the grill so I could not get a sausage platter or sauerkraut balls deep fried. (I was planning a very naughty breakfast, wife needed the fats for the "long run".) So we had a stroll on the farm. My daughter attracts animals to her like a magnet. Because she is a city girl I always try to provide experiences she does not have an everyday opportunity to enjoy. Had a hard time to convince her that it might not be a good idea to ask the farmer if we can load a few geese, a lamb or even a little cow in the trailer. The home was clean, the beds comfortable, the water warm, enough towels, everything one is expecting of a facility that has a three star tourist grading.

We literally just slept there, overnighting on a stressfull journey to Durban. Kevin was very accomodating, allowing us to arrive at 11 pm and leaving again very early in the morning. We were extremely comfortable and we did get to watch the calves playing just before we left. Next time we will stay longer.

Our stay at Fountain Hall was most enjoyable! It gave us time to relax and gather ourselves. Our 7 yr old had a tremendous time and enjoyed watching the cows being milked in the dairy and even had a go at milking herself. She 'made friends' with a calf, which really made her day! Thank you for opening your farm to us, we truly had a good time.

Well organized and a farm experience.
