"Escape to your own private corner of the Karoo. Tucked away on our working farm, this cosy cottage now enjoys an even more secluded setting, with a fenced garden and lawn all to yourself. Wake to birdsong, breathe in the fresh farm air and watch the mountains change colour as the day unfolds. At night, step outside beneath an incredible star-filled sky. Peace, privacy and the beauty of the Karoo — a place to slow down and simply be.
The space
Award-winning Karoo farm cottage — 4.92 stars, 158 reviews — with a private pool, breathtaking Swartberg mountain views and absolute silence. Enjoy spectacular star viewing. Sleeps 4 guests in a fully renovated self-catering cottage on a working farm, 40km from Laingsburg and close to Matjiesfontein and Seweweekspoort, 300km from Cape Town, 180km form George.
**Your own private corner of the Karoo**
Come and slow down at Zuikerboschfontein, a beautiful working Karoo farm where the silence is part of the experience.
Tucked away in a wonderfully private spot on the farm, this much-loved cottage has everything you need for a peaceful escape — now with its own fenced garden and lawn, giving you an even greater sense of privacy and space.
Inside, you'll find the same comfortable cottage our guests have loved, with all the familiar furnishings and amenities. But step outside and the magic really begins.
Sit on the lawn with a cup of coffee while the Karoo wakes around you. Watch the changing light move across the mountains. Take a walk through the farm, breathe in the fresh air and, when night falls, look up at a sky filled with stars.
There is no rush here. No traffic. No city noise. Just wide-open Karoo landscapes, birdsong, fresh air and the wonderfully peaceful feeling of being far away from it all.
Whether you're breaking a long journey, exploring the Karoo, enjoying a few quiet days together or simply looking for somewhere to stop, breathe and reconnect, Zuikerboschfontein offers something increasingly precious: **space to yourself.**
And while you may come for the cottage, we're pretty sure you'll remember the feeling of the farm.
**Come for the Karoo. Stay for the silence. Leave feeling restored.**
If you cannot book this cottage, we have another cottage on the farm: The Gallery Retreat airbnb.com/h/galleryretreat (no children or pets).
Guest access
Access to the whole cottage.
Other things to note
We welcome house trained pets, as long as owners keep them within their company. We have sheep on the farm, that pets may not reach. We have dogs and cats that freely roam our farm. Should your pet not be friendly towards other animals or children, this will not be a place to bring your pet to. Pets are not allowed to be on our beds or furniture please. An additional cleaning fee of R200 will be charged for pets on arrival in cash.
We have a UPS installed so you will have uninterrupted WiFi during loadshedding
