IN THE HEART OF THE FREE STATE, lying snugly just outside Bloemfontein, lies a beautifully restored old farmhouse 'De Oude Kraal'. It is the perfect overnight stop for travellers to and from the Cape, but also the ideal place to spend a few days unwinding and making use of our new luxury spa. Adorned with family heirlooms and collectables, the homestead offers old-world charm, whilst Gerhard’s sleeper-wood pub and wine cellar provides guests with outstanding food and wine comparing. Marie's renowned traditional South African cuisine and a traditional farm breakfast provide a culinary feast. Laze in the sun next to the pool, read a book from the library, enjoy the tranquility of the spa under the blue gum trees, or explore the farm on foot or horseback for an exhilarating experience.
