About Tierkloof The Fort

Self Catering Accommodation

With a front door leading onto the Tankwa plains and its western side straddling a Swartruggens mountain slope, The Fort literally encompasses the best of both beautiful worlds

This charmingly appointed hideaway for larger groups of up to 10 guests incorporates a separate large pool and entertainment deck with a built-in barbecue and seating area. Aptly named because of its fortress-like outward appearance, the Fort is made from local rocks hewn into shape to form massive walls around an interior which will keep guests in cool luxury even on the hottest of days in summer and cosy and warm in winter.

A large airy open plan dining, lounge and fully equipped kitchen area opens out via a large arched glass-paned door onto an endless view of the Tankwa plains. A raised swimming pool and deck is situated a short distance away. The partially covered pool deck incorporates a barbecue and a large table and chairs.

An open barbecue pit with surrounding seating is situated on the NE side of the Fort. Parking for up to five vehicles is available next to adjacent shady pepper trees. Out front, a dedicated sandy boules court awaits those wanting to enjoy this quirky and fun outdoor game. Boules are provided.

Note that the maximum capacity at The Fort is 10. No additional people will be allowed as it puts a strain on our infrastructure.

Additional Information

As we are self catering and off the beaten track, please be sure that you bring all you need for your stay. We do provide firewood and additional wood can be purchased if required. Tap water is drinkable.

High clearance vehicles are a definite advantage. We rely on solar power thus ironing of bed linen is not possible. We do promise however, that it will be Karoo fresh! Should you wish your bed linen to be ironed, please let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements. We will allow dogs by arrangement only. No dogs are allowed on furniture or in the pools as it causes problems with the solar pump.

An ideal getaway for bird-watching, hiking, mountain biking, stargazing and total peace and quiet. Having said that stoep-sitting seems to be one of the most popular activities! Expect to leave de-stressed, relaxed and not wanting to go home!
