The Strandveld patriarch, Matthys Rostock Lourens, received grazing rights here on 21 February 1757, and the Cape Government in 1836 registered the land formally in the name of his son Matthys Johannes Lourens. The farmstead consists of 4 typical Strandveld buildings built according to the typical vernacular style. The oldest houses probably dates back to the middle of the 18th century while the youngest to 1939.
The cottages have been carefully restored for the modern day visitor. The name originates from the skull of a black rhino which was found in this area many years ago and is still being preserved in the Springfield Estate museum.
Renosterkop Rest Camp offers 3 separate cottages, 2 of which accommodate 4 guests and contain 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The third cottage accommodates 2 guests, and is adapted for persons with limited mobility.

2 guests' feedbackWe were overwhelmed by the giant old milkwood trees, the seclusion and tranquility. All that bothered us was the indoor grill that smoked us out. It was wonderful to walk in the footsteps of the old pioneers. Just wanted to know more about the history.
Accommodation is basic, but completely comfortable, except that gas fridge didn't work at all. There is an ant pest that bite heavily so that one cannot actually be outside. Apart from the 2 problems, it is super quiet, beautiful nature and a place I will visit again.
