A FARM STAY IN THE BAVIAANSKLOOF
A little closer
to nature
Mountain air. Barefoot afternoons.
A quiet place to feel like yourself again.
WELCOME TO SPEEKHOUT FARM
Some places ask you
to do a little less
Tucked between the mountains of the Baviaanskloof, Speekhout is a small farm with a big love for the simple things. Birds in the trees. A fire under the stars. A dip in cool fountain water. And time to enjoy it all.
Come for a quiet escape in a cottage, a stay among the branches, or a few days in the bush.
Bring your favourite people. Your dogs are welcome, too.
Make yourself at home

Less rush
More life
A splash of fresh air
Each stay has its own splash pool, filled with fountain water. The best way to spend a warm afternoon.
Good dogs welcome
Holidays are better with the whole family. Our cottages are fenced; Kudu Bush Camp is open to the bush.
Room to just be
Mountain views, birdsong and evenings around the fire. A little space to pause and enjoy what’s around you.

A FARM WITH A STORY
Rooted in nature
Shared with love
It was the mountains, fresh water and promise of peace that first drew Paulien and Mark to Speekhout. What followed was a journey of planting, rebuilding and making a home.
Today, the trees have grown, the gardens offer their shade, and the farm welcomes guests looking for those very same things: simple comforts, beautiful surroundings and time to breathe.
It’s a place to put the kettle on, find a shady spot and stay a little longer.
Meet your hosts. Plan a visit. ↗A GLIMPSE OF FARM LIFE
