About Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm
Soak up the peace and tranquility of this beautiful farm. Papkuilsfontein Farm, on top of a lovely plateau, nestles between the West Coast and Namaqualand, in the Northern Cape.
In spring, enjoy the world-renowned flowers in this Serengeti of the floral kingdom. Experience the rich bird life, fauna, and San rock art. Swim in the cool waters of a natural rock pool, or in the pool at the cottages, built to be reminiscent of a farm dam. View the awesome canyon and its 100m waterfall. Hike the trails through sandstone rock formations and don't forget to bring your mountain bike.
Accommodation
The Stone Cottages:
Stay in one of three old, beautifully restored stone cottages, in your own private Fynbos setting. All cottages are sensitively restored and furnished in keeping with the rich history of the farm.
Jan Voorman's cottage:
Next to De Lande is the delightful Jan Voorman’s cottage, with two en-suite bedrooms, providing simple yet luxurious accommodation while retaining the comfortable 'farmhouse' atmosphere. Dinner and breakfast are served at De Lande house a mere 50 meters away. The kitchen and lounge lead out to the charming and South African 'stoep', the perfect place to savour that early morning cup of coffee in the sun, your eyes scanning the dolorite Koppies on the other side of the river.
Dining
Book your dinner or breakfast in advance, if not self catering. Die Waenhuis Restaurant is also a magnificent venue for small intimate weddings, birthdays, conferences or any celebration of life and love.
the farm
In its 6th generation of Van Wyks, this beautiful conservation orientated farm carries sheep and rooibos, and a dabbling of olive trees for oil and fruit. Nieuwoudtville, the nearest village to the North, is called the bulb capital of the world. Namaqualand, Hantam, Knersvlakte, and Succulent Karoo converge in this area adding to the rich and unique biodiversity.
At Papkuilsfontein, enough has been left alone to give time its depth, and enough restored to ensure that everything's utterly comfortable. It's that sense of balance that makes Papkuilsfontein so beguiling.

Superb stay. Exceptionally warm, helpful and informative hospitality, we couldn't have asked for better attention. We advise you have dinner, the food is exquisite. This destination is remarkable also for the beautiful accommodation, amazing night skies and such interesting environment and things to see nearby. This was our second visit from UK and cant wait to return, cannot recommend highly enough.

We were warmly welcomed by the owner. She gave us many valuable tips for things to do on the farm and in the wider area The accommodation has a very attractive old style ambience with many antique furnishings. You feel right at home here. From the terrace you can watch birds and behind the house there are big rocks where Dassies live. A stone's throw away an old pear tree blossomed next to a small brook with frogs calling at night. You can also hike on the farm to beautiful viewpoints (e.g. magnificent gorges). A perfect accommodation for nature lovers. Even out of the main season we found a lot of flowers on the farm. The only criticism: If you start a fire in the fireplace, the smoke pulls badly through the chimney. If you do not like the smell of smoke, you should not start a fire. A very nice accommodation far away of any traffic noise and civilization stress.
