Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Graaff-Reinet

Herdershuisie at Waterval Farmstay

The name of the unit derives from the days when it was a shepherd’s house. In the evenings, the shepherd would bring the sheep to the kraal before returning to his dwelling nearby. We started to renovate the unit early in July 2017, with the aim of keeping its rustic look whilst still providing all the comforts needed for an exceptional stay on the farm. The front door of the unit overlooks the kraal where the sheep still sleep in the evening, providing unparalleled views of the starry skies.
