Anna’s Farm guesthouse (close to the N2 between Swellendam and Heidelberg on the Malgas road) is the place to be. Come and enjoy a peaceful time on our grain, sheep and dairy farm. The old majestic farmhouse was built in 1937. “The place to explore true South-African culture and farm style cuisine.” Arno is called the “braai meester” and socializer, and Anna is the baker, coffeemaker and the money taker! Feeding the farm animals, drink fresh milk from “Mamma” cow in the milking parlor and Arno’s knowledge of the area, make the personalized farm tour, an unforgettable experience. AccommodationCharming bedrooms with antiques, fresh flowers, tea tray and sherry (on the house) is a peaceful haven to return to after visiting places of interest in the vicinity. A perfect stay for a family or a group. Enjoy traditional home-cooked meals in the family dining room in the company of your hosts.
