Description
The Rhenosterkop Rest Camp offers self-catering accommodation in thatched historic cottages on one of the oldest farms in the Strandveld, established in 1742. The cottages are situated 31 km from the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse off the Struisbaai/Elim road.
The Strandveld patriarch, Matthys Rostock Lourens, received grazing rights here on 21 February 1757, and the Cape Government in 1836 registered the land formally in the name of his son Matthys Johannes Lourens. The farmstead consists of 4 typical Strandveld buildings built according to the typical vernacular style. The oldest houses probably dates back to the middle of the 18th century while the youngest to 1939.
The cottages have been carefully restored for the modern day visitor. The name originates from the skull of a black rhino which was found in this area many years ago and is still being preserved in the Springfield Estate museum.
Renosterkop Rest Camp offers 3 separate cottages, 2 of which accommodate 4 guests and contain 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The third cottage accommodates 2 guests, and is adapted for persons with limited mobility.
