Skeiding is a working ostrich farm … close to the N2 and halfway (250 km) between Cape Town and Knysna. This makes us the ideal stopover. A friendly family farm, an education for city slickers, a place to relax and enjoy beautiful mountain views as the farm is situated on high, open rolling terrain. We Neels and Anné-Lize are two energetic people who love life …you need to be to run a farm, a family (Anné and Pieter), two dogs (Asterix and Jessie) and a guesthouse in the same lifetime. 

Spoil yourself and stay Bed & Breakfast, or even better, have a meal with us.  Otherwise relax next to your own fire and stay self-catering.

One of the highlights of your stay will be the farm tour with Neels.  A "hands-on" experience evry morning (weather permitting of course), feeding the ostriches, watching the working dogs (Border Collie & Australian Kelpie) work with the farm animals.

Rooms:
Our rooms (4) and cottages (4) have all you need to feel pampered: Honesty Bar, Tea and Coffee making facilities, En suite bathrooms with strong showers, Heater, Ceiling fan, Electric blankets, Gown ,Ostrich leather slippers, Hair dryers and good South African Port (on the house !) to enjoy on the patio as a sundowner. The rooms and cottages are named after birds commonly found in our area … which is a real birders’s paradise.  Six of the rooms/cottages have their own fireplaces and of course we have a luxury suite with unending mountain views and heated spa bath for those very special occasions.

Dining
Enjoy home cooked country cuisine prepared by Anné-Lize and her small team of able and enthusiastic assistants (Aletta, Allen). Neels is the meat “chef” on the open fire, unless farm work calls him away. A three course menu is served every evening at the family dining table.
