Slypsteen Guest Farm is situated in Vollgraaffsig, 100 km from Upington in the Groblershoop area of the Northern Cape. The guest farm is built on a small mountain and overlooks the beautiful Orange River Valley. The Chalets have beautiful views of the Orange River, all the different vineyards and the most beautiful sunsets.
Accommodation is available in 7 self-catering chalets. Each chalet features a bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. The kitchens are equipped for self-catering and contain a stove and microwave, (No meals are available) and there are braai facilities at each chalet. The units are air-conditioned and present a TV with selected channels available in each.
The farm has a communal swimming pool with a braai area for the use of guests or groups. There is also a function hall and a chapel which can host up to 60 guests. The farm is ideal for hikers, mountain bikers and guests wanting to fish in Orange River. Guests can enjoy stunning sunsets and starlit nights.
The guest farm is built on a rocky hill, thus it is NOT wheelchair friendly. Small dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash when outside as there are hyrax, game and farm animals present. Pets are NOT allowed on the bed.
"There could just be an extra cupboard for the food that's all, otherwise everything was perfect."
"Slypsteen Guestfarm is set on a picturesque rocky hill overlooking green vineyards below. It is quiet and charming. Unfortunately, this natural beauty is spoiled by litter lying around everywhere! Around the chalets and the rocks surrounding the pool, there were numerous cooldrink/beer cans, bottle caps, cigarette packets, cigarette butts, sweet papers, etc. strewn around everywhere. The pool itself is also beautiful, but was very dirty when we got there. It was very hot, so we decided to cool down anyway. The water not being clear, made it impossible to gauge the depth of the pool, so we entered slowly....one half of the pool is around knee deep, but then it suddenly gets deeper....so it could be dangerous for kids, as there are no signs up providing any warning. The chalets were pretty clean and neat inside. We always pick places to stay based on natural beauty and quiet charm. It is sad to see a beautiful natural environment neglected like this."
"The view is fantastic and the cottage well appointed. There was plenty of hot water in the shower.The sliding door onto the veranda requires attention. The beds while comfortable are quite short although I am just over 6 ft."
"Neat, well planned - and equipped facilities, made it an absolute pleasure to overnight there. We found that the owners were extremely helpful and accommodating which makes it even more worthwhile to use their accommodation facilities."
"Slypsteen guest farm is a wonderful stopover, or if you require longer stay time, establishment. The views over the planes from the rocky ridge is awesome. The sun rise in the mornings were absolutely breathtaking and we Praise our FATHER for HIS Handwork. We bless Slypsteen farm with shalom, in JESUS Name. Anton, Annalize and kiddies."
"vriendelik en gerieflik"
"It was a pleasant surprise and the pool was very refreshing after a long day in the sun"
"Enjoying the quietness and scenery of a picturesque enviroment"
"When I booked for myself and my wife, I expected a cottage for 2 as per the picture advertised, however we received a family size cottage with a small main bedroom, and a rickety bed. Ryno is nice and helpful and was waiting for us when we arrived after 8pm. The scenery is lovely as per the photo, but that is where it stops. There is a lack of privacy downstairs, if the curtains are open. An attempt has been made to pretty up the cottage with items, but it still came over as grotty, especially the ash brick shower with a clogged drain and white soap residue on the bricks, pipes and floor. The result of which, we did not shower. I could have overlooked the scorpion in the kitchen area and whatever was living behind the Dstv decoder (which did not seem to be working), but the rest of the cottage of which we were looking forward to after a long drive, not at all. Therefore, I would not recommend Slypsteen guest farm to anybody."
