Bloemhof Karoo Guest Farm

Bloemhof Karoo is truly a special place in our country, with an abundance of flora and fauna to be seen if one can just slow down and take a little time.
As Eve Palmer wrote….”At first encounter the Karoo may seem arid, desolate and unforgiving, but to those who know it, it is a land of secret beauty and infinite variety”.
We invite you also to visit and experience what this great Karoo Guest Farm has to offer.
We have been stricken and then blessed to have survived droughts, to have seen amazing resurgence of vegetation…indeed a landscape of harshness and delight.
The Bloemhof Karoo Guest Farm really has something to offer all ages; from simple farmyard pleasures to experiencing the vast expanse before one’s eyes.
Our family feel so fortunate to have been custodians of this farm for the past 23 years. We are all deeply attached to this incredible lesser known part of South Africa, and would love to share it with you.
The Farm has a good 2,3km gravel airstrip that is fairly regularly used.
