Accommodation Description


Valley of Ironstone offers charming self-catering accommodation on a quaint Great Karoo farm just outside the historic town of Graaff Reinet. Surrounded by dramatic landscapes and ancient rock formations, the farm provides an authentic Karoo experience where peace, tranquillity, and nature abound, with the added convenience of being close to town for sightseeing and dining.


Each of the beautifully restored farm-style cottages blends rustic charm with modern comforts and tastefully decorated bedrooms. The fully equipped kitchens allow for easy self-catering, while the spacious open-plan living and dining areas offer a cosy space to unwind, complete with a fireplace for chilly Karoo evenings. Outside, guests can enjoy a braai on the verandah, overlooking sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.


Setting Description


Hidden within the rolling hills and rocky outcrops of the Great Karoo, Valley of Ironstone offers breathtaking views of the region’s unique natural beauty. The farm is enveloped by wide-open spaces, dotted with striking ironstone formations that give the valley its name. The serene setting provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation, whether it's enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise or taking a leisurely walk to soak in the panoramic vistas.


The farm itself is ideal for long walks, birdwatching and simply enjoying the peace and quiet. For those interested in exploring further afield, the nearby town of Graaff Reinet is rich in history and culture, offering attractions such as the historic Reinet House Museum and the impressive Dutch Reformed Church. Nature lovers can visit the nearby Camdeboo National Park, home to the famous Valley of Desolation, a dramatic cliff face with sweeping views of the plains below.
