De Rusty Farm

As hosts we aim to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, we do our best to facilitate your requirements and provide what you need to get what you want out of your stay.

De Rusty Farm is located just outside the quaint Hamlet called De Rust. There are 3 self-catering units that can accommodate a couple or small family or pets. It's the perfect stay-over stop to rest on your travels. Each unit is equipped with its own bathroom and kitchenette and braai area. The guests have access to a shared pool and braai facilities perfect for hot days in the Klein Karoo. Self-catering units, set in the splendor of the Klein Karoo between Oudtshoorn and De Rust. There is a playground with a trampoline, swings, a see-saw, and a slide available for children. There is a swimming pool area which is fenced in. De Rust is a beautiful little town where idyllic days are spent swimming or lunching at the unique eateries and cafes throughout the town

De Rust is a small village at the gateway to the Klein Karoo, South Africa. The most beautiful town in South Africa. Conveniently positioned at the southern entrance to Meiringspoort - a magnificent gorge through the Swartberg Mountain Range - and just a few kilometers from Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the country. De Rust might be small but it is charming and has become something of a haven for artists and is famous for its dessert wines and cheeses. The area, though sometimes dusty and hot, is malaria-free, safe and boasts a fantastic climate with perfect summers and gorgeous winter days, with the chill factor striking only in the evenings. The streets are tree-lined and host to a number of wonderful examples of late 19th century architecture and the town’s drinking water comes from a mountain spring, which residents claim far surpasses that of bottled water. A visit to De Rust would be incomplete if it didn’t include a stop at Tolbos Trading where Ilse Pringle takes ordinary sheets of glass and turns them into enchanting bits and pieces. Meiringspoort not only has an incredible botanical diversity – the plant species are so rich in this area that it would rival similar sized areas in the world and there are some very rare examples of pelargoniums (geraniums) - but it also has hundreds of birds, safe hiking trails and an array of animals from tiny field mice to the Cape mountain leopard. And if you’re still short of things to do, then Red Hills, on Rietvlei farm just a few kilometres outside of De Rust, is a Natural Heritage site with red coloured open caves and something of a unique experience. This is the only spot in the world where conglomerate stone appears above the earth and a hiking trail on the farm allows you to explore the phenomenon.
