    Silence, Space, and the Soul of the Karoo

    A remote Karoo farm stay near Fraserburg, outside Beaufort West

  • I'm in a really good place right now.

    Not emotionally or spiritually. Just on the sofa with my dog.

  • Listen to music. Read books. Colour in. Smell Flowers.

    Decorate your life. Design your Soul.

  • Simplicity

    Is the essence of happiness.
Set on 5,000 hectares of vast, untouched Karoo landscape, Tamboershoek is a place where space, silence, and soul meet.

Surrounded by mountains with striking, ever-changing shapes, the farm offers a place where you can truly breathe again. At the heart of Tamboershoek stands a 200-year-old homestead, built with timber roofs brought from over 500 km away, a quiet testament to history, and craftsmanship. You are far from it all. No electric wires. No traffic. Just raw beauty.

Out in the open Karoo, where the horizon stretches endlessly, you can ride into the silence. As the old words echo, “Far in the desert I love to ride, with the silent Bush-boy alone at my side.”

The farm itself far exceeded expectations in terms of value - our kids spent hours in the farm pool (which the helpful team were glad to fill up to just the right height for them). There were amazing small touches that we appreciated - children's cutlery, a freezer stocked... Read this review

  • A quiet and relaxing getaway

    We had a wonderful stay at Tamboershoek Farm. The farm trip through the Karoo National Park was already an experience in itself, and we even saw some wildlife along the way. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and comfortable. There’s a great outdoor braai (BBQ) area and a beautiful garden where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s perfect for spending time with family or friends and... Read this review
