Papkuilsfontein main farm, De Lande farm & Matjiesfontein historic ‘werf’ are under the same management.
Matjiesfontein Historic werf
Runs on solar power, no more loadshedding.
The Historic Matjiesfontein werf has three accommodation options, Willem Strydom House, two en-suite bedrooms, Ystervark cottage for a couple, and Matjiesfontein House, a suite with lounge, bedroom and bathroom.
The historic werf, 1.5km from De Lande Guest House and 8km from the main Papkuilsfontein Main Farm, consists of a group of thatch and sandstone buildings evocative of Nieuwoudtville’s unique architectural heritage and the idiosyncratic social structures of the late 18th and early 19th century.
Willem Strydom House.
Willem Strydom house belonged to the artist and marble sculptor, Willem Strydom, until 2019, and was converted into guest accommodation in 2020. The H-form house has two en-suite bedrooms, slow burning wood fireplace and electric blankets. It is fully equipped to be self-catering, though many people prefer to book our well-known dinners and breakfasts.

Matjiesfontein Homestead
Note: this option is only available in spring flower season, August/September.
Two people can be accommodated during flower season in the original dwelling on Matjiesfontein ‘historic werf’ in an en-suite in the private home of the owners. The suite has its own private entrance on a ‘stoep’ that runs the length of the house, encompassing a walled garden that has a pond fed by natural spring in front of it.
Part of the house dates from the late 1700’s, while the en-suite (bath only) guest bedroom, with two ¾ beds, and adjacent own-use lounge was built in the early 1800’s.
Wooden ceilings, sandstone floors, electric blankets and generously proportioned rooms and a slow burning wood stove in lounge), make this venerable ‘old lady’ a pleasure to stay in.
As you have no kitchen facilities meals will be enjoyed at the lovely Farm kitchen at the main Papkuilsfontein farm with its wide views and cozy fireplace during winter.
We supply you with a map to explore Papkuilsfontein at your leisure.
