Lowergroen Guestfarm, Working Farm

Escape the hustle and bustle, and embark on a journey to tranquillity at Pioneer Huis, a luxurious self-catering farmhouse tucked away in the serene Buffeljags River Valley, a short and picturesque 13 km drive from the historic town of Swellendam. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of a fully operational export fruit farm, this hidden gem promises an unforgettable stay immersed in nature and farm charm.

Pioneer Huis seamlessly blends modern-day luxuries with the rustic charm of farm life. Enjoy the convenience of WIFI, a Smart TV with DSTV & Netflix, and a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher and gas stove. No need to worry about load shedding – the house is equipped with a power backup system. Embrace the unique experience of a farmhouse stay, where tranquillity meets contemporary comfort.

Plan your visit during the harvest season (November to February) to witness the farm come to life with tractors and friendly farm workers bustling about. It's an immersive experience that adds a touch of authenticity to your stay. However, be mindful that enjoying a leisurely lie-in might not be on the agenda during harvesting time. Early mornings bring a hive of activity as fruit pickers arrive, creating a lively atmosphere as they head for the orchards. Embrace the vibrant energy of the farm awakening and let the sounds of the harvest become a unique part of your farmhouse adventure.

Parking is a breeze with a single garage directly connected to the house, complemented by ample outdoor parking space. As you plan your days, explore the nearby Oude Post Bistro, just 2.8km away, renowned for its array of traditional roosterkoeke and delightful cappuccinos.

Wake up to the harmonious symphony of birdsong and farm noises, sipping your morning coffee on the stoep while gazing at an unmatched view of the Langeberg mountains. Please note that, due to the farm's natural surroundings, encountering a few flies and bugs is part of the rustic charm – your understanding is appreciated.

The farmhouse boasts spacious open-plan indoor living with a fireplace for cozy winter nights. Step outside to an inviting outdoor dining area equipped with a portable braai, perfect for savouring a traditional barbecue on warm summer days. Firewood and braai equipment are provided, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
