About Blanco Guest Farm and Holiday Resort
Set at the foot of the Winterberg Mountains just outside Tarkastad, Blanco Guest Farm & Holiday Resort is one of the Eastern Cape’s quietly cherished treasures.
Blanco offers an old-fashioned family holiday in the best sense of the word — warm, unpretentious, and deeply grounding. Life here is shaped by open spaces, fresh air, and genuine country hospitality. Guests are welcomed by Chris and Kim and invited to slow down, reconnect, and remember what holidays are really about.
Blanco is ideal for families, couples, groups, and guests seeking a relaxed countryside escape with plenty to do — or plenty of space to do very little at all.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation at Blanco Guest Farm consists of Two-Bedroom Units, Three-Quarter Units, and Twin Rooms, all comfortably furnished and fully serviced.
Each unit has a private bathroom with a bath and shower, is refreshed daily, and is designed to feel homely rather than hotel-like. The accommodation suits couples, families, and multi-generational stays with ease.
Family booking discounts may apply.
DINING AT BLANCO
Dining is a much-loved part of the Blanco experience. Rates include:
· A full English breakfast
· A hearty country-style lunch
· A five-course dinner
· Mid-morning tea
· Mid-afternoon tea with home-baked treats
After days spent outdoors, guests gather in the dining room to enjoy wholesome meals, good conversation, and the comforting rhythm of farm life.
ACTIVITIES & FACILITIES
Blanco offers a wide range of activities for all ages, including:
· Tennis courts
· Squash court
· 9-hole chip-and-putt golf course
· Olympic-size bowling green
· Swimming pool
· Wood-fired sauna
Guests can also enjoy horse riding, hiking and walking trails, birdwatching, mountain biking routes, 4×4 trails, wildlife viewing in the on-site game park, and relaxed time in the gardens.
KIDS AT BLANCO
Blanco is a wonderland for children. Whether cycling through the countryside, riding horses, or hopping onto the tractor cart for an adventure of their own, kids are free to explore and play.
It’s no surprise that children fall in love with Blanco — many love it so much that they have been known to hide under beds while mom and dad are packing up to go home.
