Only 34 kilometres from Swellendam in the direction of Malgas/Infanta, Melk Houte Bosch Guest Farm has something 

truly unique to offer.

It's a working farm with donkeys, cattle, and sheep. With brilliant fields of wheat, barley, and canola with a few Springbuck, Eland and Zebra grazing peacefully nearby, it is as majestic as you could imagine.

The accommodation at Melk Houte Bosch Guest Farm is sleek and contemporary despite its nod to the countryside. Your every need will be met by The Farmhouse and The Manor House, the two choices from which to pick. 

The most amazing thing about the farm is the many kinds of birds and how much untouched greenery there is. Waking up in the morning is like plugging into nature’s most musical soundtrack, exquisite and a startling reminder of what life sounds 

like outside of cities.

Activities include rowing (we have two canoes) and fishing on the Breede River – 2km away and accessible by high clearance vehicle, birdwatching for the twitchers or enjoy the hiking and cycling routes. 

Both our houses are equipped with a gas stove and inverter, so loadshedding will not affect you. 

Melk Houte Bosch Guest Farm is the perfect place for you to spend a weekend or vacation if you want a cosy stay 

surrounded by nature.


Slegs 34 kilometer vanaf Swellendam in die rigting van Malgas/Infanta, het Melk Houte Bosch Gasteplaas iets werklik uniek om te bied. Dit is 'n werkende plaas met donkies, beeste en skape. 

Met briljante lande van koring, gars en kanola en 'n paar Springbokke, elande en sebras wat rustig daar naby wei, is dit meer asemrowend as wat jy kan dink. 

Die verblyf by Melk Houte Bosch Gasteplaas is deftig en kontemporêr ten spyte van sy knik na die platteland. Jou elke behoefte sal voorsien word deur The Farmhouse en The Manor House, die twee opsies waaruit jy kan kies.

Die wonderlikste ding van die plaas is die baie soorte voëls en hoeveel ongerepte groen daar is. Om soggens wakker te word, is soos om by die natuur se mees musikale klankbaan in te skakel, pragtig en 'n verbysterende herinnering aan hoe die lewe 

buite stede klink.

Doendinge sluit in roei (ons het twee kano's) en visvang op die Breederivier – 2km weg en toeganklik met 'n hoë vryhoogtevoertuig, voëlkyk vir die voëlliefhebbers of geniet die stap- en fietsryroetes.

Albei ons huisies is toegerus met 'n gasstoof en omskakelaar, so beurtkrag sal jou nie beïnvloed nie. 

Melk Houte Bosch Gasteplaas is die perfekte plek vir jou om 'n naweek of vakansie deur te bring as jy 'n gemaklike verblyf omring deur die natuur wil hê.
