Hi! SA friends!
I am just a French historian preparing a paper to be read, next July, at PMB campus. Congratulation! You have a very nice and interesting website. It really makes one feel like catching the first aircraft and fly over!
I was last at Saldanha in 2002, when I read a paper at the Military/Navy Academy. I spent there a wonderfull day. I sincerely hope that your country (which, in my heart is also mine) goes better and better again.
Very kind regards.

Letter from London
"I can't express in words how wonderful our stay at Papkuilsfontein was. The only problem was the brevity of our stay, oh how i wished we had booked a whole week..!"

"I had a great time. Did far more than I planned which was no bad thing after such a long journey - it would've been a shame just to sit by the pool for a week! There was possibly too much planned and I'd like to have had more time to do the same amount of stuff, but that was my schedule not yours. The whale trip was the best..."

    Doornfontein is a working West Coast farm adjoining the Berg river. From Velddrift, at the Berg River mouth, it is about 13 km on the Piketberg road (R399) to Doornfontein. The farm is a working operation with 1 000 sheep and 300 head of cattle. Wheat and other grain crops are grown in winter and our climate is typically Mediterranean with 300mm of annual rain.

    This popular trend of travel on private estates gives the visitor a good insight into country life, through direct personal attention by the owners. We specialise in small tour groups to maximise the West Coast farm experience.

    Our guests stay in the restored original homestead or in the cottage adjoining our indoor pool.

    We have 9 individually decorated en suite rooms. Our guests can be assured of our professional and personal attention throughout their stay in a relaxed and homely atmosphere.
