Wonderful farm experience, relax in comfort!
We spent 2 very memorable days and nights in Nguni cottage, very private, quiet and secluded. Super comfy bed, even aircon available.The meals were totally delicious, classy farm food!! The owners are warm-hearted and welcoming, Neels´s farm tour is a must! Nice pool surrounded by lovely gardens, comfy sofas and a very cosy dining area. Lovely to have sheep, ostriches, buck etc all around. Serene surroundings to unwind. We can highly recommend and very much hope to go back soon!!

What a find! If you’re looking for home from home off the beaten track look no further. Wonderful location, the views are to die for. Hosts are warm, helpful, informative, generous and great company. The food runneth over - cordon bleu cuisine par excellence. Dinner was superb. The little touches the hosts have thought of and the attention to detail means Skeiding stands out from the rest. Breakfast could as well be lunch. Cereals, meats (including ostrich salami), cheeses aplenty, juices, homebaked breads, fruits plus your choice of cooked fayre (incl borewors and ostrich bacon). WiFi in main homestead if you book a room there. Good choice great value. Will definitely return

Wonderful!
Our 2nd visit to this lovely farm. Lots of little touches in the room makes it extra special, beds are even turned down and a chocolate provided. The food served is wonderful, like going to a 5 star restaurant and you have an amazing view from the dining room to top it off. The farm tour is very informative and you get up close to the Ostrich. If you are visiting this area would highly recommend a stay on this farm. An easy trip from the farm up the Troudaw pass to Barrydale is great, you can reward yourself with an amazing milkshake at Diesel and Cream. Witsand on the coast is also worth a visit.

What a gem, great views, room, hosts and food
Wonderful stay, room was spacious, spotlessly clean and luxurious. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast and evening meal were wonderful. The farm tour in the morning is worth getting up for, very informative and great to see the livestock up close and learn all about them. We loved it so much we have re-booked again for this year and staying for two nights, we have also recommended to our friends who have also booked for this year. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Worth a visit
A return after our first visit 10 years ago found lots of changes and improvements. We were made very welcome by all the staff and family and would not hesitate to recommend staying for a very different evening from a boring hotel. You even get a tour of the farm in the morning if you want it.

A true Gem !
This place is a true gem ! Set in stunning countryside with individually designed rooms complete with a kitchenette and log burner. A very warm welcome by the hosts Anne-Lys and Neels with the highlight being the delicious Ostrich Braai made specially for us. Dixie the family dachshund stole our hearts ! Given a chance we would gladly return.

Absolutely beautiful. Off the beaten path but completely worth the trip. The food was amazing, as was the peacefulness of the farm and being able to feed the animals. Great view. Wish we had more time.

Gut wohnen, wie bei Freunden
Es war das 2. Mal, dass ich hier übernachtet habe. Seit dem ersten Mal ist kontinuierlich an dem Objekt gearbeitet worden. Das gemeinsame Dinner mit anderen Gästen hat mir schon beim ersten Besuch sehr gefallen. In meinem Cottage war alles vorhanden, sehr freundliches Personal und ich hatte das Gefühl mehr ein Freund, als ein Gast zu sein. Ich werde bestimmt wiederkommen, wenn es auf meiner Reiseroute liegt.

Herzlicher familiärer Empfang. Tolles Abendessen mit Zutaten aus der Region (Kudu-Carpaccio) und gutes Frühstück (sehr reichhaltig mit Straußeneier-Omelette) Interessante Tour mit einem Truck über die Farm. Für Familien mit Kindern perfekt, da in vor den Cottages ein Spielplatz vorhanden ist. Unsere Kinder haben die ganze Zeit mit Carla, dem Hund auf der Farm gespielt

Beeindruckender Weitblick
Tolle Unterkunft mit beeindruckendem Weitblick. Uns hat die Abgeschiedenheit sehr gut gefallen. Leckeres Abendessen. Das gewünschte Fleisch wird vor den Gästen auf einem offenen Grill frisch zubereitet. Unbedingt die Farmtour am Morgen mitmachen!(Straußenfütterung). Gefunden Straußeneier werden später beim Frühstück zu Omelette oder Rührei zubereitet. Die Lodges haben eine schöne überdachte Terrasse mit einer Feuerstelle an der man abends sein eigenes kleines Feuer machen kann. Sehr idyllisch! Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!
