Peace and quiet…. Farm life

MargarethaSouth AfricaI would love to come back here when it is a little warmer.
The cottage (Voerstal) is very private and peaceful with views over the vineyards towards the mountains. I think the firepit will be a lovely place for conversation and chilling.
We could not find a toaster.
LinéSouth AfricaLoved location - beautiful farm!
We were under the impression we had a lapa in front of the house for a braai. The pictures on Booking.com can cause misinterpretation as we did not realise there is more than a unit to…

Questions about Varkenskraal Farm
What time is check-in and check-out at Varkenskraal Farm?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Varkenskraal Farm allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Varkenskraal Farm?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Varkenskraal Farm have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Varkenskraal Farm have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Varkenskraal Farm?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
