Budget Getaways Review

Over The Mountain Guest Farm is in the Outeniqua mountains, only a 30 minute drive from either George or Oudtshoorn. They provide an opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to stay for a few days, or to overnight on your way and enjoy the quiet, star filled nights.

The old Post Office, Welsch House and House of Grace are beautiful old buildings that have been lovingly restored as accommodation units.

With space for up to 25 people spread across the three accommodation units in a combination of 6 en-suite B&B rooms as well as 2 Self-catering family units, Over the Mountain Guest Farm could make for a perfect couples retreat as well as an ideal family getaway.

Situated in the secluded hamlet of Herold on the famous Route 62, at the top of the Montagu pass in part of South Africa’s sublime Garden Route, Over the Mountain Guest Farm offers more than just comfortable accommodation.

Over The Mountain Guest Farm takes an already fulfilling Route 62 holiday to new heights with a set of uniquely Garden Route Art and Food ‘Experience Packages’ where guests can immerse themselves in the rich culture and heritage which exemplify the area.

Designed by passionate husband and wife team, Estelle and Gerrit Brits, these packages are not only formulated to entertain but also allow guests a chance to discover the essence of this diverse countryside.
