Genade Grond offers accommodation in a choice of 2 spacious and comfortably furnished self-catering units and is located outside Springbok.
HERBERG Cottage
The first spacious Cottage – HERBERG – can accommodate a total of 4 guests which share the use of a bathroom. This unit feature its own kitchen fully equipped with a stove, a microwave, Percolator, a fridge/freezer, as well as good quality cooking utensils. HERBERG is the only dwelling on the opposite portion of Genade Grond, tucked away and secluded from roads and other dwellings. I usually suggest this cottage for people that wants to paint/draw and be in absolute silence .. away from civilization, yet close enough to town for a quick shop or bite to eat.

The second spacious cottage – NAMA NOOI – is also suitable for 4 guests which share the use of a bathroom.

NAMA NOOI is situated on the same portion of the farm as the Main house and the Old farm house, where you might see me, walking my dogs. Still very serene and peaceful, with floral bounty surrounding you, 360 degrees.
