Rural peace and quiet in a beautiful environment is offered to weary travellers and stressed city-dwellers. Rushmere Farm borders onto Ruigtevlei Lake, a National Parks bird sanctuary, which in turn opens into Swartvlei and ultimately the sea at Sedgefield. A private jetty and canoes give guests access to this tranquil and little-known gem. self catering accommodationSuperb self-catering accommodation is provided in two sunny fully-equipped cottages. Both self-catering cottages are simply decorated with country flair. Although they are semi-detached, they are very private and each is set in its own garden with an uninterrupted view over emerald pastures, dark forests and the blue Outeniqua Mountains.
