Excelsior Guest Farm and Venue
The Country Farmhouse can accommodate up to 15 guests, and contains 6 bedrooms, a large cosy farm kitchen, and a comfortable living area, along with a large outside braai area. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering and features an argyle stove, a kettle, a toaster, cutlery and crockery, and glasses. Starter tea, coffee and milk is supplied. A braai grid and braai accessories are provided. The farm house is secluded and offers peace and privacy. Guests can take a dip in the swimming pool, or in an old reservoir that has been renovated to serve as a swimming pool for those hot summer days. There is also plenty to keep you busy, and guests can enjoy long walks, hikes, and mountain or off-road biking on the farm. The Windmill Barn offers a rustic and homey venue for your special occasion. With magnificent bonfires, unique country-side character and warm-hearted hospitality your event will surely be enjoyed by all your guests. Using our on-site seating arrangements we can host 40 - 150 people, but this could vary should you choose to use alternative tables and chairs. We offer bar facilities in the barn. Glamping caravans are also available. Our comfy, cosy caravans are ideal for those who enjoy the campfire experience without the hassle of pitching a tent. With enough comfort to make you feel like you are sleeping in your own bed, our caravans can accommodate between 2 and 4 guests. Each caravan has a covered patio with outdoor furniture, a braai, and a kitchenette equipped with a fridge-freezer, induction plate and cutlery and crockery, pots and pans. Each caravan has the option to add tents to its grass site for the more adventurous members of your group. Wonderfully spacious ablutions allow you a beautiful view of the mountains while having your shower.
Area Info
Excelsior Farm lies approximately 9 km outside of the beautiful farm town of Porterville.
Porterville is a quaint and welcoming town nestled on the slopes of the Olifant's River Mountains at the base of the Groot Winterhoek Wilderness Area, 140 km from Cape Town. The Dasklip Pass takes one to the mountain and the Groot Winterhoek Nature Reserve. Hiking trails, to places called De Hel and De Tronk, reveal dramatic rock formations and an abundance of flora and fauna. De Hel has one of the largest natural rock pools in South Africa. The Waterfall Trail is so named because of the constant waterfalls which flow down towards undulating wheat fields.
Porterville attracts paragliding and hang gliding enthusiasts from all over the world when the active sky and powerful thermals provide ideal conditions for cross country flying.
