Whether you prefer a comfortable stay or are more of an adventurer, the farm offers accommodations to suit both campers and those opting for a cozy self-catering cottage.

Outdoor Adventures and Eco-Friendly Activities

Kruistementvlei Farm is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Explore the hiking trails, cycle through beautiful landscapes, or try your hand at bouldering and rock climbing. When the dam is full, swimming is a refreshing option, while evenings are perfect for stargazing and satellite spotting. Visitors interested in sustainability can also explore the farm’s ongoing projects, such as herb cultivation, compost making, earthworm farming, and recycling initiatives. The farm's water-saving dry toilet systems, using sawdust, reflect its commitment to environmental conservation.

Evening Serenity and Natural Wonders

At night, the only sounds breaking the silence are the calls of owls and frogs, creating a tranquil atmosphere. As the evening progresses, you'll witness an incredible display of stars and satellites, making for a magical sky-gazing experience. During the day, enjoy the sight of the sun reflecting off rock formations, which change in shape and color as the light shifts. Ancient San paintings hidden in nearby caves offer a glimpse into the region’s history and early inhabitants.

A Scenic Journey Awaits

The trip to Kruistementvlei is as breathtaking as the destination. Traveling from Cape Town or Namibia via the N7, you'll drive through picturesque landscapes of wheat fields, canola flowers, and vineyards, which change with the seasons. As you ascend the Versfeld Pass, a spectacular view of the valley below unfolds. Upon reaching the top, you’ll discover a vibrant mountain farming community producing fruits such as apples, pears, and plums, along with seasonal vegetables. The higher elevation offers cooler air, making it an ideal retreat from the warmth of the valley.
