Joosteswerwe is a working Great Karoo farm on the R384 between Carnarvon and Vosburg. Our vision is to give visitors a farm experience like in your childhood. In the early years it was used as a halfway stop for weary travelers on their way to town.

We offer you a luxurious stay in our farmhouse previously occupied by 3 generations of sheep farmers. The house can accommodate 8 to 10 people in 4 bedrooms and a patio room. One of the attractions is two very big porches with a wonderful view of sheep and springbok drinking and grazing. In the winter a nice fire place, underfloor heating in the bathroom and electric blankets with cosy bedding to keep you warm.

Our newest attraction is the Old Wagon Suite. Build out of beautiful Karoo stone and newly restored to its original two storey height. The Old Wagon Suite is perfect for a family of four looking for a quiet weekend away. With its beautiful views of the Karoo high lands, beautiful stone porch and braai it lends itself for the perfect place to make some new memories or to relieve some old once.

Summer in the Karoo brings romantic views of the sun set while swimming in a farm dam renovated as a swimming pool.
We offer late afternoon drives, that include enjoying the Karoo stars on the way back, as well as plenty of farm roads for long walks or mountain bike rides. If you are interest in Khoisan paintings, we offer a morning drive where you can look at astonishing sketches.

If you are tired after a long day of sightseeing, you can sit down with something to drink while the more energetic can keep on looking for more undiscovered sketches. If you want to join the farmer in the everyday work it will be a pleasure to share his everyday joy. Horses are used to do the farm work and you can experience goats feeding orphan lambs.

Joosteswerwe is also home to 3 experience Tent Pegging riders, if you are interested in discovering this beautiful equestrian sport, they would be happy to show you their unique discipline and maybe teach you a few tricks as well.

"Lovely remote setting for some calm relaxation."

Stayed in the converted barn and the owners were not home, which meant I was completely alone for kilometres - a lovely experience. Sunset and sunrise with only birds and frogs singing is worth it. Sitting on the veranda, reading, whilst the sun settles in a brilliant orange and pink glow was magical. I would not recommend the barn to older or less agile people as the stairs to the loft bedroom would be too dangerous to those of poor footing. The only negative was that the kettle was not usable and there wasn't really any alternative, but this is easy to fix by the owners. Other than that, as the owners were not home, their children met me at the accommodation and insulted me a little with some of their comments, which I am going to guess is down to the fact that I spoke English and did not arrive in a lifted suspension, fitted with everything plus the kitchen sink Toyota - remember never to judge people you do not know (in this instance I am certain for a fact that I have been many places these farmers will sadly never see yet was subjected to insulting comments out of nowhere that took me by complete surprise given that I was a guest). Be that as it may, the accommodation and the surrounding area still makes it worth one's while. Accessible via tar road and a +-15 km farm track that can be driven by any vehicle - just please, please stop speeding: I found a dead fox on a farm road, really now. The turn off to the farm road is well signposted and more or less halfway between Carnarvon and Vosburg (this is not made clear on booking websites). Be sure to stock up on all your meal requirements, firewood, firelighters, matches, etc. as it's a long drive to the nearest town if you do not have everything you need. Bring a plunger and good coffee. There is a fire pit outside and the location really lends itself to a nice fire to sit next to listening to the night sounds - bring what you'll need. Electric blankets on the bed help to fight off the winter nights. Bring a bicycle - the farm roads will call. I had a knock on my door at 5 am, which I just ignored as I was lying in bed (sunrise in winter is at 7:30 am). Not sure what that was about. Take a drive to Vosburg - stunning architecture and, as the signpost outside town says: "enjoy the trees". There is a dirt road between Vosburg and Prieska, if you are like me and want to avoid tar roads at all cost. I drove it with a hatchback, but most people will faint if they had to put their sedan on it as you do need nerves of steel and perhaps a bit of stupidity/crazy on your side to drive it without solid tyres, but luckily I was born with both.
