There is a residents' pub and guests are welcome to join Julian for dinner in the main homestead. A little distance away lies a charmingly decorated Cape cottage which consists of two bedrooms, the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom and the second one has a private bathroom. The large and stylish sitting room has an open fireplace and there is a fully equipped kitchen. Activities include swimming in the river, walking, bird watching, boating and cycling. Guests have free use of a rowing boat and mountain bikes. The farmyard is a national monument and is one of the oldest homesteads in South Africa. The entire fascinating collection of farm buildings is listed as a National Monument, with some converted into stylish accommodation, furnished with superb antiques from the original homestead.

Enjoy the views over the unspoilt countryside, swimming, boating or canoeing on the tranquil Berg River.
Explore the picturesque West Coast villages, stroll along deserted beaches only 20 minutes away or simply enjoy the tranquility of this exquisite home. You are fed like a king, but treated as a friend.

A less tame option is to arrange for a spin in the sky in a six-seater plane. (Kersefontein has its own private air strip.) This tends to get the adrenalin pumping, because Julian is not only an accomplished pilot, say those who've followed the coastline with him, he's also a frustrated stunt pilot.
