Silwerfontein Farm

Self-catering from R 75 (family units from R 1,500)
R 75

Silwerfontein is a beautiful pet-friendly working farm that is declared a Natural Heritage Site, surrounding the Voëlvlei Dam, with stunning fynbos- and mountain views.

There are four charming cottages available, as well as a Double Decker Bus and two Campsites set in the forest. Since the farm borders on a nature conservancy and the area surrounding the Voëlvlei Dam, an interesting variety of game and birdlife can be seen.

The cottages are fully equipped and private, with clean bedding provided. Guests must bring their own bath- and swimming towels. Solar energy powers the lights, and additional oil lamps add to the ambience. Wood-burning fireplaces turn the cottages into snug and warm havens in winter. Wake up to the sound of nature; with no TVs, radios or hairdryers to disturb the peace.

A range of hiking- and biking trails are available, with more exiting routes in the process of being developed. We also have our own herd of wild ponies happily roaming the farm.

Tank you for stay.

One or two things they can just improve on. Firt and most important the location on Safari and where the farm is actualy situated didffers with about 20km and we almost ended up missing our weding. The other thing is there were no electricity so we couldn't charge our phones or cameras. Other wize very beautiful view and cleen. 


Long weekend Sept by

Unfortunately we did not have a great stay and cut short our visit. The access road is in a terrible condition with lots of mud and we were concerned that we would get stuck as we do not have a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle. There was no wood available at all.(in the middle of June) An alarm started going off at 2am and we had no idea what it was or how to switch it off (figured out later that it had something to do with the solar panel).

We packed up the following morning and did not return for our second night and found alternate accommodation in Tulbagh.

The cottages need a bit of sprucing up as well.

On a positive note, we were warm but only because we used all the spare duvets from the single beds.  The setting is lovely with views over the vlei and it is very peaceful.  However, we will not be back.



Terrible, overpriced by

There are cheap backpacker place better than this. Badly equipped and appointed. The solar electricity does not even power a hair dryer and no hot water in the morning. The host had to go and fetch towels as there was none. Stay away.
