Description

The Drumsheugh Farmstead and Cattle Farm is set in the heart of the Green Kalahari. Relax while enjoying the natural surroundings of the Kalahari in a remote and private area on a working farm 60 km east of Askham, on the R31 towards Van Zylsrus, which is a gravel road.

The Farmstead can accommodate up to 26 guests in 9 bedrooms. The main house comprises 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a guest toilet. There are 4 additional flatlets. Two of the flatlets each contain 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a kitchenette, while the other 2 flatlets each contain 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Each bedroom contains a double bed or 2 single beds. The bathrooms each contain a shower, a toilet, and a wash basin. Additional guests can be accommodated on one of 4 double sleeper couches in the living area.

The large central well-equipped kitchen is fitted with fridges, a stove and oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, and even a bread maker. The air-conditioned living area features a 10-seater dining table and a wood stove, seating, a flat-screen TV, and a pool table. There is a large covered outdoor braai area with seating and a second wood stove. The stunning front pool deck offers outdoor dining furniture, a splash pool, and sun loungers, and overlooks a game waterhole. A vehicle with 4x4 driving capabilities is required to reach the Farmstead.

Take walks through the veld, climb the red dunes, or enjoy viewing a range of antelope present around the house. Guided drives through the rest of the farm are possible with prior arrangements.

The farms' purpose is mostly for breeding programs of Bonsmara cattle, sable antelope, roan antelope, and black impala however naturally occurring wildlife such as springbok, oryx antelope, steenbuck, duiker, aardvark, porcupine, tortoise and a variety of birds, roam freely across the farms. Drumsheugh offers travellers to the Kalahari a unique opportunity to experience farm life in a completely private setting. With Kgalagadi Park 135 km away, it is an ideal stopover location en route to or from the park.
