Welcome to Kruisriver Guest Farm

Kruisriver Guest Farm is situated at the foothills of the majestic Swartberg Mountains between Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp, Kruisrivier Guest Farm offers self-catering cottages or camping for those who love to get away from the bustle of everyday life.

The most outstanding feature of this farm, apart from its scenic setting, is its absolute sense of peace and quiet while the constant murmur of running water lulls you into complete relaxation.

For those interested in yesteryear, Kruisrivier provides interesting historical features.

Your hosts, Sybrand en Martlie Strydom, stem from the Strydom-family who has farmed Kruisrivier since 1759. Guests are accommodated in the Mill house. Other historical attractions include an old water-mill. Kruisrivier Guest Farm allows for a number of outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, mountain biking and bird watching.
