De Erf Manor House has been restored and recreated to offer the best that this unique part of the Karoo can provide.
About 3 km directly south of Graaff-Reinet the majestic Spandaukop towers over an almost forgotten architectural relic of early Graaff-Reinet, the homestead of the farm De Erf which lies along the Sundays River. The building, with its whitewashed walls and towering gables, was built circa 1806.
It has the distinctive Cape Dutch H-shape design which it shares, in Graaff-Reinet, only with Reinet House. Almost all of the outbuildings used over the years such as the forge, coach house and blacksmith's shop are still intact. It is in these buildings that a haven has been created where you can enjoy country life at its best.
ACCOMMODATION:
De Erf Manor House currently offers three luxury en suite double bedrooms with private entrances. Ilse takes pride in providing percale linen and pure wool duvets sourced from the best suppliers. Amongst other things, these rooms have DSTV, air conditioning, huge fans and mosquito nets. A fruit bowl and sherry await you upon your arrival. In addition, almost anything is possible on request.
There are, aside from the little farm things, a swimming pool, two unridable horses and a milk cow that tends to wander off. If one is still bored, Graaff-Reinet, a living museum, beckons to be discovered.
DINING:
The most memorable activity at De Erf is consuming fine food. The blacksmith's workshop has been turned into the breakfast room where delectable dishes are served. We don't stuff around with good food and we use only the best and freshest ingredients.
