Hillston Farm is a working farm in the
Middelburg district situated in the northernmost part of
the Eastern Cape.
“There is something magical about the
vast semi-desert region known simply as the Karoo. Despite
its frequent droughts and extremes of climate, the Karoo
nurtures life in great abundance and its plains teem with
animals of every description. After the seasonal rains the
recovery of the veld is miraculous: frogs chorus in full
throat and a carpet of brilliant flowers spreads
dramatically over the once barren wasteland.
To the passing motorist who has been
driving in the heat for hour upon hour, its desolation and
aridity seem harsh indeed. But to those who have been
captivated by its fierce beauty, the Karoo is a place unlike
any other.” Joan Southey, Footprints in the Karoo
Break-away from the hustle and bustle
of city life to the beautiful malaria-free Eastern Karoo. At
Hillston Farm you'll experience South African hospitality
with a difference - farm style with a touch of class.
Beautiful views, excellent photography, scenic hiking
trails, more than 100 species of bird life including the
rare Blue Korhaan, shearing shed tours (a former English Barracks
in the Anglo-Boer War), and much more.
"Once it has courted you and won
you, there is really no other life.”
Joan Southey, Footprints in the Karoo |
