Description

Die Skooltjie is a cosy, comfortable cottage, filled with character and stories. The restored farm school is located on a working sheep farm in the Lower and Tankwa-Karoo, an area between Ceres and Sutherland, well known for clean, open nights of bright stars and the world-famous SALT telescope.

Die Skooltjie is well equipped with facilities such as Wi-Fi and solar power, hot water, a gas burner as well as a wood stove, microwave, refrigerator, braai facilities and all basic necessities. An en-suite, double bedroom leads to a spacious bathroom with a bath, beautiful walk-in shower and toilet. A gas geyser ensures hot water.

Die Skooltjie offers the ideal Karoo experience in the expansive veld and pristine nature with opportunities for exciting night photography. It boasts a view of the Tankwa River and the slopes of the Roggeveldeskarp in the distance.

Activities are plentiful and include small game or bird watching, walking or cycling, picnics on the rocky banks and there are lovely passes in the nearby area to venture with your vehicle including the Ouberg, Gannaga and Verlatenkloof passes. The Tankwa National Park is within easy reach, known for native succulents and small game. Guest can also do a day trip to the Tankwa farmstall.
