OUR LOCATION

Karoo Droom Farm is one of the early Karoo farms found in the Swartberg mountains, home to Seweekspoort, South Africa's only natural poort. Situated approximately 1200m above sea level.
 
Located just off the R323 which links Laingsburg with Ladismith, Karoo Droom is nestled up against the Swartberg with views across the valley to the Elandsberge. 

EXPERIENCE THE FARM

The farm offers a relaxing environment. We enjoy snowfall during most winters. 

​

This working farm offers both self catering and wild camping options with lots to experience and see.

​

With many projects still to come - soon we will have a little shop for guests, called "Nita's-kom-eet". Guests will be able to purchase fresh produce from the farm, for example honey, olives, fresh chicken eggs, goats milk and cheese and even wood.  Braai packs, ready made meals and fresh bread will be available on order.

​

We have 27 beehives with a distinct field-flower taste. Due to the absolute purity, it does tend to set rather fast, giving it a beautiful creamy look. As soon as our Saan Goats and Boer Bokke are settled in, we will be providing milk, cheese and meat. Buttercup, the cow, will ensure lovely creamy butter and milk.  Seasonal figs and prickly pears will round off the perfect cheese board - all from the farm!

THE OWNERS

Karoo Droom Farm is owned by Martin van Heerden, a man who has loved South Africa's beautiful Karoo for many years. Martin grew up on a farm on the other side of the mountain range on the Buffelsdrift side of Ladismith. After many years living in the Boland and working in other industries, when Karoo Droom came onto the market, Martin finally realised his dream of returning to the Karoo and owning his own farm. 

Joanita Schoeman is Martin's long term partner, and manages the accommodation as well as the soon-to-be-launched farm shop which will include delicious organic fynbos honey from Karoo Droom's own bee hives, preserves and more. Joanita fell in love with the Karoo as a young girl in 1981 while visiting family who lost their home in Laingsburg during the infamous flood.
