Again the lounge etc is open-plan and fully equipped, including the cast-iron fireplace. The stoep is covered with a red ceiling and has a wonderful view of the water.

Manor House - Tucked away in the most tranquil serene setting sits Long Thin Farm’s main house on the banks of the Goukou River. This beautiful house is surrounded by olive trees, milkwoods, and the farm’s own vineyard. Sit outside on the spacious veranda and enjoy the wide variety of birdlife while sipping on some of Long Thin Farm’s red wine. Explore the river on our kayaks to take in the most scenic surroundings, breathing in nature’s beauty. In summer, the river is busier. Use the private jetty for fishing and swimming.
