Blanco Holiday Farm

Blanco Holiday Farm

Surrounded by the vast natural beauty of the Winterberg Mountain range, you’ll enjoy a stay that offers relaxation, hearty meals and great companionship. At Blanco you will experience life again as you enjoy the peace of unhurried days and nights.

Your stay includes a traditional country style breakfast, a light lunch and a four-course dinner, served in our comfortable dining room. Homemade bread and fresh farm cream are also part of the Blanco tradition.

Blanco Guest Farm, a registered Nature Reserve, is situated deep in the heart of the Eastern Cape interior, nestled at the base of the Winterberg Mountains. It is a place that’s always ready to remind you what holidays are all about. Allow Chris and Kim to welcome you to Blanco farm and experience for yourselves, the reality of country-style hospitality.

Blanco is warm and friendly and its unique formula makes it the ideal family getaway for those who want to enjoy a farm holiday with a wide range of outdoor and nature pursuits. It’s equally perfect for those who simply want to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquility of life away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The accommodation is in cosy, rustic cottages which are situated within the gardens around the main house. There is a choice of twin or three bedded rooms or two bed-roomed cottages. All are serviced daily and have private bathrooms.

The main lounge is roomy and comfortable and is ideal for relaxing or reading. It is very popular in winter with its roaring log fire. There is a separate TV lounge and a well stocked library.
Blanco caters especially for children of all ages - there are tractor-cart rides to be had, farm animals to be fed and nannies to help out.
