Serious About Conservation!Welcome to Fynbos Guest Farm. Fynbos Guest Farm is a 64 hectare retreat of farm land, fynbos and renosterbos. We are a working farm, and you will always see somebody busy, whether it is felling alien trees, digging, fixing or general maintainence. 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. This is not to mention, the diverse fauna on the farm, from tortoises, Grysbok, 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 flora. Part of our commitment to the rehabilitation of the area is a slow but determined removal of alien tree species, such as wattle, Port Jacksons, gum and some pine. To counter this we have planted over 350 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 farmyard and our guests are invited to interact with them and feed the animals. 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. Though "pet-friendly", we expect guests who have been given permission to bring along their pet/s 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! Dogs need to be on a leash when leaving the camp/ caravan area and children are expected to treat all animals and other livestock with respect and care.
