    The house was absolutely gorgeous, straight out of a magazine. It felt so luxurious. We had everything we needed and more! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the farm and it really felt like a home away from home. The owners, Marthalie and Neels,...

Escape the hustle and bustle, and embark on a journey to tranquillity at Pioneer Huis, a luxurious self-catering farmhouse tucked away in the serene Buffeljags River Valley, a short and picturesque 13 km drive from the historic town of Swellendam. Pioneer Huis seamlessly blends modern-day luxuries with the rustic charm of farm life. Enjoy the convenience of WIFI, a Smart TV with DSTV & Netflix, and a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher and gas stove. There is no need to worry about load shedding – the house is equipped with a power backup system. Plan your visit during the harvest season (November to February) to witness the farm come to life with tractors and friendly farm workers bustling about. It's an immersive experience that adds a touch of authenticity to your stay. However, be mindful that enjoying a leisurely lie-in might not be on the agenda during harvesting time. Early mornings bring a hive of activity as fruit pickers arrive, creating a lively atmosphere as they head for the orchards.
Parking is a breeze with a single garage directly connected to the house, complemented by ample outdoor parking space. As you plan your days, explore the nearby Oude Post Bistro, just 2.8km away, renowned for its array of traditional roosterkoeke and delightful cappuccinos.
