WELCOME TO MIDDELBERG GUEST FARM
Middelberg Guest Farm is a functional Karoo farm which is situated near the R318 road towards Montagu, 40km from De Doorns. It is tucked away in a hidden fold in the mountains off the beaten track and offers visitors an escape from city life.
Farming activities include breeding goats (boerbokke) and growing vegetable seed for the export market. The beautiful Karoo landscape with a mountainous backdrop and pristine fynbos is also the perfect setting for a tourism business and a range of accommodation and activities have been established on the property.
The Karoo…
where the dust settles on my skin; where the wind calls my name,
where my heart beats to every footfall; where the open road spills into the sky above
where the grassy plains wave; where the mountain looms at the end of the road
where my soul aches to live; and yearns to lie down and die
where the windmills crank their weary song; where the stars flash morse code from life far away in the universe
where camels blink in the moonlight; and horses fly on dreams
where roads lead everywhere and nowhere; where people’s faces are etched with the winds of change
where magic and mystery walk hand in hand; down valley roads, glancing over their shoulders, beckoning me with secretive glances
where sacred ibises are hurled against the majesty of the blue sky; where hadedas call the night
where dusty dogs run free in streets of gold; where owls know me by name
where I learned to fly for the first time; where wise men seek the light
where each step is a dance of karoo magic; where the spaces in between are filled by heaven
where the earth is mine; where my soul finds its rest
where peace is in every breath; where I inhale and know
I’ve come home
