The perfect mountain retreat, Sweetwater Farm is within a fifteen minute drive of Keurbooms beach or Nature’s Valley beach and lagoon. The three cottages, Pine Tree, Oak Tree and the larger, Palmiet House, have been lovingly renovated with all modern conveniences, but retain their original charm and the grounds boast beautiful old trees, an abundance of bird life, as well as small animals like buck, porcupine and wild pigs. Die skuur op die plaas is ‘n historiese monument wat ten volle gerestoreer is. Known as the Red Barn by locals, it retains the original yellow-wood ceilings and black-wood trusses.
