Fonteinskloof is a beautiful farm situated at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains, 10 kms from Swellendam on the R60 towards Ashton. The magnificent mountains tower above the farmhouse and cottages which have been luxuriously renovated to provide comfortable accommodation. The cottages are nestled at the foot of the mountain and have awesome mountain and countryside views.
The 4 newly-renovated cottages are comfortably nestled among tranquil surroundings on an antelope game farm which is home to a variety of animals. Of the 4, there are three 2 bedroom and one 1 bedroom cottages. Each cottage has its own open plan kitchen and lounge area. The cottage floors are superbly finished in porcelain, ceramic or wood and the kitchens have granite or wood finished. All cottages have their own verandas with braai facilities. All cottages are self-catering and fully equipped. All have modern bathrooms with towels and toiletries. All have baths and showers except 1 cottage that has a ‘sit-in’ shower.
The farm has a swimming pool and a games room with a pool table for relaxation after hiking, cycling or playing tennis on the farm court which is not Wimbledon but ideal for an afternoon knock about. You may just want to relax on your stoep and view the bird life while enjoying your refreshment. If looking for adventure, visit Swellendam, the 3rd oldest town in South Africa. To visit this quaint town with its lovely old buildings or have a cup of coffee at one of the many coffee shops or dine at one of the restaurants is a real experience. Evening braais can be organised at an extra cost thereby enabling you to enjoy the fire and the farms setting while everything is prepared for you.
The farm presently boasts 10 different antelope species including bontebok, eland, springbok , nyala , and even a golden wildebeest male is to be found in the 50 strong troop of blue wildebeest. A game drive in the Land Rover game viewing vehicle is available. The cost of the 1.5 hour drive is R600 per family. Cycling on the farm or through the surrounding countryside is possible. There is also a walking trail which takes you on to the slopes of the Langeberg and has magnificent views.
This wonderful farm is ideal for those wanting to recharge their batteries in a tranquil setting .

27 guests' feedbackThe children could stay busy here for days. The playground is neat and conveniently close to the houses, the tennis court and the games room was a winner with our older child. We also tried out some hiking trails as a family. It was so nice among the wild goats with views of the mountains and the valleys. Michael was a gracious host, he went to buy carrots for us children to feed the ponies, and took us all along when he went to feed the wild animals. So we saw all the goats and zebras, and also flattened the whole farm. It was a lovely bonus. Fonteinskloof is perfect for a family with children, there is more than enough to keep young and old busy. We will be back.
We prefer to stay mostly in self-catering units when we go away. Our unit at Fonteinskloof had everything one could possibly need. Michael was a great host and went the extra mile to make sure everything was ok. We could easily contact him if we needed help/information. Our young daughters, 8 and 6 years old, were able to move around safely and made full use of the pool, even if it was a bit cool.
We really enjoyed it at Fonteinskloof.
There is also wildlife such as zebras, moose, deer, blue wildebeest, I would absolutely recommend the place.
Unfortunately, both my two boys and I started having respiratory symptoms - pretty bad, when we were there. My eyes were blood red, my sons chests were completely closed and I started to get sick. When we got home I was suddenly better. I am a dr. and would strongly recommend that they check the unit for vapor/mould, and check the mattresses and roof. Especially the master bedroom bed was bad for me, I had to sleep with the children. The units get little sun, so this is definitely a possibility.
We enjoyed the weekend. Unfortunately the weather was not good, so we will have to go again to see the animals.
Very helpful and friendly host!
Lovely to see the animals gracing and the peaceful surroundings.
Fonteinskloof Farm was delicious. Perfect for a summer or winter getaway. Everything one needs is there. We will see you again soon.
Nice hiking trails. Friendly service. Extremely neat. Will stay there again for sure. Can definitely recommend it.
Comfortable, good location and stunning views.
Had fun swimming, played tennis, barbecued and watched wildlife.
Fresh air, beautiful mountains and watching birdlife and game that is who! You need to experience it self but it best farm accommodation by far.
Will be nice to stay longer and see everything.
Definitely coming back for another getaway there! Would recommend this to anyone.
Peaceful surroundings, nice accommodation, ideal for recharging your soul and spirit. We had a great time relaxing as a family.
The service was the best, friendly and very helpful. Would recommend it without hesitation. Thank you to William and Michael, you are the best.
Our visit to Fonteinskloof exceeded our expectations. Accommodation was clean on arrival, and welcoming. We enjoyed the game drive with our 2 year old and was amazed at the size and beauty of the entire farm. We will definitely be back for another stay, with more family/friends.
Really had a great time. Beautiful surroundings near Swellendam and surrounding towns. Facilities were excellent and the owner and manager were very hospitable and helpful. Game drive was also a highlight. Facilities are planned so that they can be used in all weather conditions. Environment safe.
Thank you very much Michael for welcoming us, we felt at home right from the start. We were a group of 8 people and simply all drove with my Isuzu double cab and in the back sat my sister and our friend Annelise and the beautiful Helga, and on the way to the eco-house after which Michael accompanied us, the three ladies on their knees, like dogs chasing carts, to look at all the game as we drove through the game camps, so much so that Annelise bumped her head against the hood of the van over the rough path to the top where the beautiful rustic eco house was waiting for us. It is then there that an incredible weekend of visiting and talking together and the wonder of the natural beauty awaited us. We were left speechless, correction, some of us were speechless, and then there were those who put everything they saw into words in a tone of surprise and wonder, wow look here you, look at the little horses, oh mother mother, and so on it went on. Thank you very much Fonteinskloof, it was truly an unforgettable getaway to a jewel of a place that you cherish at the foot of the Langeberge, we will definitely come to visit again. Greetings from the West Coast pals.
House 1 has little wardrobe space for 4 people but otherwise we stayed lovely in a beautiful setting. Would love to stay there again.
Lovely scenery, feels like you are in the Swiss Alpes. SA's Heideland.
Beautiful landscape, beautiful nature, a lot of wildlife to see, a lot for the kids to do. Neat, relaxing. Received a lot of treats.
Awesome stay thanks to Michael from the farm that was helpful and hospitable. He took us on a beautiful game drive during our stay. Fonteinskloof Farm will definitely see us again. Beautiful place and so quiet, away from any daily life. Thanks again.
We loved being close to the animals, and the farm is really beautifully taken care of. The owner was very welcoming!
Very nice accommodation and a wonderful experience for the kids. Feeding the animals was a highlight every day!
We had a great time on the farm. There are enough activities available to keep everyone busy. The unit was very neat and well equipped.

The 4 newly-renovated cottages are comfortably nestled among tranquil surroundings on an antelope game farm which is home to a variety of animals. Of the 4, there are three 2 bedroom and one 1 bedroom cottages. Each cottage has its own open plan kitchen and lounge area. The cottage floors are superbly finished in porcelain, ceramic or wood and the kitchens have granite or wood finished. All cottages have their own verandas with braai facilities. All cottages are self-catering and fully equipped. All have modern bathrooms with towels and toiletries. All have baths and showers except 1 cottage that has a ‘sit-in’ shower.
The farm has a swimming pool and a games room with a pool table for relaxation after hiking, cycling or playing tennis on the farm court which is not Wimbledon but ideal for an afternoon knock about. You may just want to relax on your stoep and view the bird life while enjoying your refreshment. If looking for adventure, visit Swellendam, the 3rd oldest town in South Africa. To visit this quaint town with its lovely old buildings or have a cup of coffee at one of the many coffee shops or dine at one of the restaurants is a real experience. Evening braais can be organised at an extra cost thereby enabling you to enjoy the fire and the farms setting while everything is prepared for you.
The farm presently boasts 10 different antelope species including bontebok, eland, springbok , nyala , and even a golden wildebeest male is to be found in the 50 strong troop of blue wildebeest. A game drive in the Land Rover game viewing vehicle is available. The cost of the 1.5 hour drive is R600 per family. Cycling on the farm or through the surrounding countryside is possible.
