    This was such a unique place! The workers were bringing the 1000 sheep back as we drove off the main road back to the place. It was a joy to be on a working farm. So beautiful!!!!! Candace was super helpful. Great place just to hang out.

    Candice could not be a better manager. Very warm and caring. She prepared excellent homecooked meals and went out of her way to make sure everything was good.

    Very beautiful garden and setting. Accommodation modest but impeccably clean and comfortable. Candice made dinner for the us which was a lovely, homely meal and very welcome after a long drive. A perfect stopover, but so worth spending a night or...

Experience a slow pace of country life at its best. Ideal for family holidays, weekend getaways or overnight stops. Bring your mountain bikes and explore the many farm roads. Hike the surrounding mountains, view some historical Bushman paintings or take a leisurely strole around the dam and maize lands. The Pot River which runs through the farm is a mere 600m from the Main House. Bring your mountain bikes and explore the many farm roads. Hike the surrounding mountains, view some historical Bushman paintings or take a leisurely stroll around the dam and maize lands. The Pot River which runs through the farm is a mere 600 m from the Main House, ideal for tubing and swimming. It also supports a very healthy stock of wild rainbow trout. There are a variety of options to fish, from narrow deep pols to wide slow meandering sections, to the exiting riffles and rapids where nymph fishing can be highly rewarding. River access is easy on foot and there are roads to various upstream and downstream sections. The farm is conveniently situated close to some of the highest altitude gravel passes of the Eastern Cape Highlands which are any 4x4 enthusiast or motorbiker's dream. Situated on a working farm below the picturesque Southern Drakensberg Mountains. Sheeprun is 16km (of which 4km is gravel road) from Maclear on the R56 towards Mount Fletcher.
