Eenboom Game Farm & Self Catering Cottages - Accommodation and Activities situated on a farm on the Route 62 between Montagu and Barrydale, Western Cape

Welcome to Eenboom Game Farm on the Route 62 between Montagu and Barrydale. We offer superb facilities for the discerning nature lover situated amongst the rolling foothills and spectacular scenery of the Langeberg mountain range. While the farm itself nestles in the lush green hills and valleys of an area also known for its wine and fruit production, the arid wilderness of the Little Karoo beckons nearby...

Eenboom Game Farm Accommodation

Eenboom offers its guests 5 superbly appointed self-catering guest cottages. The guest cottages are modern renovations of century-old labourers’ cottages, now boasting all modern amenities. Each features a stylishly decorated and furnished lounge, providing comfortable seating in warm and relaxed surroundings. 

Two of the cottages have cosy fireplaces in the kitchen for those chilly winter evenings.  Two cottages have 2 bedrooms each, while the other three have 1 bedroom each. Bedrooms are airy and modern, complimented by clean bathrooms. In each cottage an open plan kitchen is well fitted with microwave ovens, fridges, crockery and cutlery. Two cottages sleeps 4, one cottage sleeps 3 and two cottages sleeps 2.

Outside there are barbecue facilities for that favourite South African culinary pastime, the braai. After a long day in the veld, just pull up a chair, pop the cork off a chilled local wine, sit back and enjoy… the silence, or the sounds of birds, spectacular sunsets, great vistas, clear blue skies, the smell of meat on the coals or the warm sunshine...

At present there are five buck species on the farm, namely Bontebok, Springbok, Duiker, Mountain Reedbuck (Rooi ribbok), Cape Grysbok and Red Hartebees. More species will be introduced from time to time.

The farm also lies within the Cape Plant Kingdom, an area of "Meditteranean" vegetation that is found in the southwest and southern Cape, and is recognised as one of the Six Floral Kingdoms of the world. It has a rich and varied plant life, with about 8 600 kinds of flowering plants.
