About St Fort Farm

At St Fort Farm, you’ll find the essence of Eastern Free State hospitality, genuine, time-honoured, and deeply rooted in tradition. Owned by the Goldblatt family since 1964, the farm carries the soul of country living, where time moves gently with the rhythm of the sun and the changing seasons.

Life unfolds at its own pace here, unrushed and grounded in simplicity. From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense that St Fort is more than a destination; it’s a place where warmth, welcome, and heartfelt generosity are part of the fabric of everyday life.

Accommodation

The original farmhouse has been beautifully restored into an elegant guesthouse, offering six en-suite bedrooms where the charm of yesteryear is brought to life through features such as pressed ceilings and polished wooden floors. Each room has been designed to offer both comfort and a strong sense of character, making it easy to relax and feel at home.

The accommodation is arranged across three distinct sections: the Main House, the Annex, and a separate Farm Cottage. The guesthouse portion comprises the Main House and the Annex, which are joined by interleading doors via a private passage. These can be locked for privacy when the units are booked separately. The free-standing Farm Cottage, located to the west of the main buildings, is a secluded and inviting space that sleeps two guests and boasts tranquil views over the dam.

Activities

Ideal for lovers of the outdoors, St Fort invites guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful beauty of the farm without ever needing to start the car. Walking trails weave through Poplar forests and meander alongside the Little Caledon River, leading adventurers to landmarks like the scenic Mushroom Rock. Should you wish to explore further, the charming town of Clarens lies just 7 km away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and other local attractions.

Verified reviewvery good

St. Fort Farm was easily found, just a few minutes from Clarens which was useful. Up the farm road about 400metres and pulled in by the cottage and immediately greeted by a member of the staff and shown inside. Soon after greeted by delightful Lizl. Settled in to the compact, efficient space - lovely alstromeria in a vase. Enjoyed the energetic walks and the chats. Comfortable and very good value.

Our family of four (two teenagers) loved the St Fort Country House! We were lucky enough to be there during the down season and had the place to ourselves. The home was lovely, we especially loved the cozy living room and fire stove. Ernestine (the owner) and Sylvia served us a marvelous breakfast every morning in the dining room. Ernestine was wonderful, answering all our questions and giving us hiking tips. Sylvia was warm and friendly. We could see how hard all the staff worked on the grounds of the country house! Speaking of hiking, there are some wonderful hikes starting at the property. I highly recommend them. And about the property itself, they hold weddings here and I can see why. The grounds are beautiful - spongy grass, flower gardens, whimsical photo spots, rabbits, wild birds, a donkey, sheep, white ducks, picturesque buildings - surrounded by the beautiful foothills. And a pond too! I will always remember this place and dream of coming back. My only suggestion is that the room we slept in needs a better wall heater. It was freezing until I warmed up under the plentiful covers.
