Old Mill Drift Guest Farm

Start your stay at Old Mill Drift Guest Farm in a peaceful way, with a morning’s golf at Clarens Golf and Leisure Estate, 30 minutes’ drive from the site, followed by an afternoon tipping around the town of Clarens before stopping in at Clarens Brewery for some locally brewed beers and ciders. If you’ve got plenty of time before returning to the site, travel out to Schlaaplaats Farm to see some bushman paintings – the san rock art here is well worth viewing. Exploring the small town of Fouriesburg is a must: make your way to Walibri Art Glass for glassmaking lessons and workshops, then clamber up to the modern-build Destiny Castle for a poke around (and stunning views over the surrounding countryside). You’re well placed for getting out in nature too, as Golden Gate Highlands National Park is about 40 minutes from Old Mill Drift. Turn your wheels this way for canoeing, abseiling, hiking and biking trails and the Basotho Cultural Village, and keep your eyes peeled for springbok, zebra and cape vultures.
