Fynbos Guest Farm and Animal Sanctuary is a 67 hectare retreat of farm land, fynbos and renosterveld.  We are a working farm, and you will always see somebody busy, whether it is felling alien trees, digging, fixing or general maintenance. We have a speed-limit of 15km per hour - for the safety of our guests, children, dogs, birds, animals and to keep the dust down! We have a "no-noise" policy and expect guests to always respect the privacy and peace of our 'home' and that of fellow guests..

Renowned for our flowers, visitors from all over visit Fynbos guest farm to view our extensive flower species and grass species in the winter months.   This is not to mention, the diverse fauna on the farm, from tortoises, caracal, genets, mongoose, steenbok and abundant birdlife.

We, at Fynbos farm, are serious about the sensitive ecology of the area. With this in mind, we have committed to restoring parts of the farm to fynbos, planting proteas and other fynbos and renosterveld flora.

Part of our commitment to the rehabilitation of the area is a slow but determined removal of over 400 alien tree species, such as wattle, Port Jacksons, blue gum and some pine.  To counter this we have planted over 450 indigenous trees such as honeybells, bladdernut, karee, jacket plum and wild peach.

We have successfully rehabilitated and released numerous Eagle owls, Barn Owls and other raptors. We have various animals in our sanctuary and our guests are invited to interact with them and feed the animals.  All our animals have been rescued or rehomed. We are self-funded, and rely on the kindness of day visitors, sponsorships and general donations of food, material and even money.

Our farm is a haven for animals ranging from large to small, feathered to furry.  Our policy is that the critters come first, then the guests and finally ourselves.

Everyone is welcome to bring along apples, carrots, bread, lettuce, etc and feed the animals.

We do expect our guests to respect that our animals, birds, pigs etc live in complete harmony and are not accustomed to ever being chased or harassed in any way! Children are expected to treat all animals and other livestock with respect and care.
