There are two self-catering cottages on Rockhaven Farm that are available for guests. These are operated by the farm and not by Ratel Farming. Both cottages have beautiful views across the horse paddock to the mountains of the Cederberg and Skuweberge. The cottages are private and simply, but tastefully furnished. WE NOW ALSO HIRE OUT THE MAIN HOUSE, on special conditions, which is perfect for a big group, sleeping up to 16 people in one beautiful home.  For more information and to book, please visit Rockhaven Guest Farm
