ACCOMMODATION

Guest accommodation is available in the cottage which has an en-suite bathroom with toilet. Cooking facilities are provided in the form of a small gas stove and fridge as well as an outside braai. The cottage can accommodate a single person, a couple, a family or a small group of friends: additional persons can sleep in an adjoining extra room which has its own separate shower and toilet. There is no electricity at the cottage. In addition to the guest cottage, there are six other simple and comfortable rooms – most of them with electricity and shared ablutions. And a small hermitage built into the hillside.

 

Basic provisions such as bread, eggs, milk, breakfast cereals and butter are provided; for anything else, guests are expected to be self-sufficient so bring your own food and drink (though farm milk is delivered daily). You are welcome to walk on the farm where there is a variety of birds and small game, a skyful of stars at night and a place to meditate with a small library. Children are always welcome. As Poplar Grove is a sheep farm, dogs will have to be kept indoors or on a leash.

Price: the present price of accommodation is R250 per person per night, with children under the age of 12 free. Anyone wanting to stay can contact Margie Osler via the Contacts Page for availability and directions.
