Farmstay holiday rentals in Free State

We and our two puppies throughly enjoyed our weekend away at the Old Copper Shed. The farm was peaceful, quiet with amazing sunrises and sunsets. The unique copper aesthetic was one to remember and I would highly recommend the stay to anyone looking for a little sho’t left on the weekend. Bring your pets with as ours loved the freedom of the open veld. Thank you to Adriaan for the great hospitality.

We spent a great stay at Renee's. The house is very spacious and comfortable. Renee was welcoming and responsive. Thanks!

We loved our 2 night stay at KarMichael Farm. The Rose Cottage was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The views were so beautiful overlooking the farm. The heated blankets on the beds were fantastic as it was very chilly at night. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay in Himeville - it’s very close to the Glencairn Wedding venue too.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting. It really was everything we could have wished for. Lots of thoughtful touches from the host. A great place to escape for a weekend.

Fantastic stay on the farm and much more spacious then we anticipated. We will be back!

Santie and her family were so welcoming. They went out of their way to help us to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We so look forward to staying again. Grateful.

We had a lovely stay. The walk to the cave paintings was a lot of fun. There was more to do on the farm than we anticipated. We could have spent the whole weekend there without going out. That being said, its close to Bethlehem, Clarens and the Golden Gate Highlands Park, and we made full use of that. Will have to come back to explore the farm to its fullest.

Absolutely loved staying here. My girlfriends and I needed time away from the city, to relax and have a mini staycation and the honey cottage allowed us to have that experience! Definitely coming back

The drive to the house already gets you excited, through towns we had never heard of, absolutely exquisite nature and then finally you get to the turn and you can just about see the house on the “hill”. Animals on your doorstep, the pool overlooking the animals, it was spectacular. The house itself was very well equipped with everything we needed. This is a place we would definitely return to, but next time not just as a stopover, we would stay. It is beyond peaceful. Talk about peaceful… you might need a few peaceful sleep bottles :D you are in the middle of nature, surrounded by nature. There were a lot of mosquitoes during the night and of course Hennie was right, do not leave any lights on… we left 1 kitchen light on, the next morning there were like a million bugs (moths) flying around that light, and it is not an exaggeration :D Again, this is part of the charm, it is part of nature and I wish we could stay a bit longer, but next time! Thanks Hennie :)

We had the most incredible time! This place is a true hidden gem—perfect for escaping the hustle of JHB and soaking in that cozy, countryside charm. Ideal for anyone who loves crisp, misty mornings and laughter around a crackling fire. Absolutely fantastic!"

Our stay at this guest house was nothing short of magical. My wife and I, along with our two Boston Terriers, celebrated our first wedding anniversary here in Val, where we also got married. The setting is serene and idyllic, with large trees, lush green grass, and the peaceful presence of cows and a donkey named 'Valie', grazing nearby. Sitting on the large patio and watching squirrels play under the trees added a charming touch. The vintage, farm-inspired decor makes the space feel cozy and inviting. We loved how relaxing it was, and being just a short walk from the Val Hotel was a bonus. We dined there twice, and the home-made burgers and pizza were absolutely delicious! This guest house offered us the perfect blend of relaxation and nostalgia. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway!

The place was everything I was hoping for and more. It was peaceful and quiet and lived up to my standards.

We had the most incredible stay. The hot tub is an absolute hit! Star gazing at night under the beautiful Milky Way. Clear beautiful skies. Incredible views. Peaceful and absolutely breath taking. What a lovely get away. They were super helpful in organising a horse ride outside of their services. Always smiling and friendly and willing to assist.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the farm! Duncan and Marcel were welcoming and friendly hosts, the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the farm atmosphere was calm and peaceful. We, especially our daughter, had a fun time seeing the wide variety of farm animals. This place is definitely on our list of must-visit-again!

Poppet is very friendly, very helpful. Her staff is brilliant, they went above and beyond what we needed and did not hesitate to assist. The house is beautiful internally as well as the surrounding landscape. We had booked for one night but extended our stay an extra night due to how lovely an experience it was.

it was a pleasure to stay over, Inance was extremely nice and helpful when needed. wonderful host.

We absolutely LOVED our two night stay at the Twin Towers, what a unique experience! The kids loved it, and we all managed to survive the challenging hike to the cave overhang - it was definitely worth it, though. Being surrounded by the horses, Alpacas, cows and sheep was so special and the mountain view, nothing short of spectacular. Highly recommended.

It’s always a pleasure to stay at Orchard Manor. If you’re an animal and nature lover this place will not disappoint. We were accompanied by two very friendly cats, briefly greeted by a herd of Zebra and always surrounded by stunning views of the mountains.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and fresh on arrival. We appreciated the daily cleaning and Sylvia was extremely helpful. The position of the property was private but also gave easy access to the pool and tennis courts. We really enjoyed the amazing views. We also enjoyed the location as we could walk and enjoy the surrounding area. We will definitely return to this gem!

Robin is probably the best Air BNB host we have encountered. She was just lovely and communicated with us from start to finish. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful farm-stay on a real working farm, in a large, beautiful old house - this is your spot!

We had an amazing stay here. The location is sublime with so much to do and enjoy on the property alone - beautiful walks and hikes, a playground for the kids, two large fire pits to relax around and enjoy the views, a dedicated games/entertainment building, and a picturesque river with the biggest, most beautiful berg pool we have ever seen (close to 100m long!). The home itself was amazing with everything you could need. The check-in and checkout were easy with the hosts being very responsive. William, the groundskeeper, was also very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. We'll definitely be back!

What a great weekend away with friends and the place had everything we needed and more for the kids as well. We are already talking about making this an annual trip! Thanks Melissa for letting us use your beautiful home

Beautiful sandstone farmhouse and adjacent accommodation, on a farm in the eastern Free State. Looks out over attractive garden and werf, with wide verandah. Lindie was super helpful and welcoming as was their farm manager. Very comfortable, very clean and very cosy and well equipped.

We had a beautiful peaceful time, the cottage was just the perfect size for our family. The view is spectacular and the walks lovely. We loved the dogs coming to visit and taking us on the walk. Will definitely go back.
