Despite the freezing weather we were welcomed with warm hospitality by Hein. He escorted us to his nearby game farm and encouraged the children to explore. “Close gates that are closed behind you and leave gates that are open open. But explore as much as you like”

The Tripper lived up to expectations allowing us to feed the whole family and sleep in comfort despite the winter winds outside. We managed to enjoy morning coffee with three adults, two children and the dog on the bed – in comfort!

We were absorbed into the rhythm of farm life. Interrogating the life of chickens and pigs, interacting with horses and watching the milking process of 98 cows twice a day!

The family friendliness of the owners was eclipsed by the rugby game blasted onto a big screen as the Springboks beat the Wallabies followed by huge plates of boere kos.
