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..."

    The owner, Johan van der Westhuizen, grew up on the family farm Keurbosfontein, to which he returned after having spent most of his life as a stockbroker in Cape Town. He has since carefully restored Keurbosfontein to recapture its original heritage. The farm still maintains a unique old-world feel with its thatch-roofed buildings, old trees, kraals, water furrows, etc. Electricity, for instance, is by choice not utilized.

    Farming is practised on a small scale and in tune with the very limited water supply available.

    Another very important change that Johan introduced to Keurbosfontein, was to make it a haven where wildlife can roam freely and unhindered.

    All this makes Keurbosfontein a very special place.
