The Old Barn Cottage

This charming cottage, with its spacious interior, has a unique country feel...

The Old Barn (Waenhuis) cottage, which was originally built with sandstone and clay in 1938, was retained as such, including the original sink roof. (Above the entrance to the Orchid room you will find the old cornerstone with the date 1938 inscribed.)  The barn was extended in 1976. In 1989, the Steinberg family bought the land and for the first few months Judas Dube and his family stayed in the barn until their house was finished.

In 2001 we used it as a packing shed for organic vegetables. When the space became inadequate, Ané immediately saw its potential, started renovations and opened the first room in March 2004.  The rest of the cottage was finished in December 2006.

The beautiful front door was previously the front door of Chrissiesmeer Town Hall.
