Property info

Platbakkies Farm Retreat has been established with one goal in mind: to invite people to come and retreat from the rat race out there. As we are situated in the semi-desert of the Namaqua region, we are remote from city and town, but right in the centre of nature itself. Blue African skies and the bright Milky way brightens up day and night, and farm activities provides it's own adventure day after day! Our neatly restored old farmhouse is fully equipped for self-caterers, but we also offer a variety of traditional meals from our farm kitchen for those who prefer to be served. A small library, a variety of family games and a range of activities are available to make your stay extra special.
