Wheatlands Country Lodge is a manor house that was designed by Charles Bridgeman, and is a mixture of Cape Dutch and Edwardian styles. It is a beautiful homestead on a working wool and mohair farm.
On entering, guests will be transported back to another era as antique furniture, persian carpets and plenty of bookcases make one think of men of old relaxing with a glass of wine and a cigar. In fact there is a comfy guest lounge with TV and log fires for winter.
Diana Short, the hostess of this wonderful farm, cooks the most divine meals, and her table groans with true Karoo delights – Karoo lamb of course with crisp homegrown vegetables.
If you live in the city, you have to try Wheatlands …. they also have some excellent hikes through the surrounding mountains.
For the time of your life, contact Wheatlands …. and wave the city goodbye.

The Eastern Cape is a nature-lover’s paradise, from the lush Tsitsikamma forests to the wide-open spaces of the arid Great Karoo.The Eastern Cape is also malaria-free which makes it a particularly popular hunting destination. Wolf’s Crag offers hunting throughout the year, but it’s the the milder months from April to October that you get the best hunting.
A total of 22 species are available for hunting on Wolf’s Crag and clients may also hunt mountain species in the Sneeuberg Mountains of the Karoo, and overnight in Graaff-Reinet.
All hunting is done by walk and stalk, and all clients are guided by a professional hunter. Trophies are maintained in the highest quality until ready for processing by skilled taxidermists. See their trophy packages on their website. Clients are accommodated in spacious and well-appointed 1820 settler-style cottages that are en-suite and electrified.
Add to that delicious and wholesome cuisine of local venison, beef, lamb and chicken which one can relish with fine South African wines.
