Papkuilsfontein main farm, De Lande Farm & Matjiesfontein Historic werf are under the same management.
De Lande Guesthouse
De Lande is perfect for a group travelling together. The house is generously proportioned, with a huge lounge and fireplace, cozy sun-room on the east side of the house, and a braai on the veranda side which is accessible from both the lounge with two sets of double glass doors, and kitchen.
5 en-suite bedrooms are individually decorated with percale cotton bed linen, fluffy white towels and bath robes, electric blankets and wall heaters in both bed- and bathrooms for colder weather. The long “stoep” on the east side, and the wide west verandah, offer views of the doloritekoppies beyond, and invite the outdoors inside.
You can either be selfcatering or Alrie’s well-known meals can be booked to be enjoyed at the lovely Farm kitchen at the main Papkuilsfontein farm (9km south from De Lande) with its wide views and cozy fireplace during winter.
Relax in comfort at De Lande Guesthouse, and enjoy access to the other fascinating attractions and activities at Papkuilsfontein main farm – its canyon and seasonal waterfall, Mountain Bike Routes, Fynbos hiking trail, the natural rock pool and swimming dam, and of course more flowers during flower season. Guided farm tours with the benefit of Willem van Wyk’s extensive knowledge, can be booked.
Papkuilsfontein farm is a Conservation Farm as well as a Protected Environment and part of the Cedarberg Corridor.We are child- and eco-friendly.
We are on the route from Clanwilliam and Cape Town via Botterkloof- and Pakhuis Passes, the beautiful dirt road alternative to the N7 route from Cape Town – one third of this road is tarred. Papkuilsfontein is a comfortable and well-known stop over for travellers to the Kgalagadi region.
Jan Voorman Cottage
De Lande Guesthouse has an adjacent cottage, called Jan Voorman Cottage. This quaint corrugated iron cottage is set against a gentle slope, offering unlimited views of the vast landscape famous for its bright spring colour. The simplicity of this cottage, lined with oregan pine on the inside and double insolation between, finds favour with guests, providing a measure of luxury in a comfortable farmhouse atmosphere.
There are two en suite bedrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath. The kitchen and lounge lead out to the charming front verandah (the classic South African ‘Stoep’), the perfect place to savor that early morning cup of coffee in the sun, your eyes scanning the dolorite Koppies on the horizon.
