De Lande, the well-established guest house of Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm, is situated on another farm 9km from Papkuilsfontein itself, and therefore only 14km south of Nieuwoudtville.

This generously proportioned Karoo country house has four individually decorated en suite bedrooms. Pure cotton bed linen, fluffy white towels and bath robes, electric blankets for cold weather and wall heaters in both bed- and bathrooms, ensure your well-being. Enjoy your glass of wine in front of the fire in the lounge before sitting down to our renowned three (3) course dinner. The cozy sun-room on the east side of the house is the perfect setting for delicious breakfasts. The long “stoep” on the east side, and the wide west veranda with its double doors, offers views of the dolerite koppies beyond the river, and invite the outdoors inside.

Relax in comfort at De Lande Guesthouse, and enjoy access to the other fascinating attractions and activities on our Papkuilsfontein farm – its canyon and waterfall, Fynbos walks, the natural rock pool and swimming dam, San rock art and, of course, more flowers. Guided farm tours can be booked with Willem van Wyk, who has extensive knowledge of his farm and the area.
