Florence Guest Farm...
" So the oaks grow that once were acorns, so the grand deeds too, that once were only dreams"
(M. Farningham)
“Its
spring its spring, Oh I just can’t wait, Oh I just can’t wait To find fruits on
the vases And flowers on my plate”

High on the northern grass and wetlands of Mpumalanga, in the centre of the Lake District – CHRISSIESMEER - rests beautiful FLORENCE GUEST FARM, with its sandstone guesthouse and farm buildings.
It characterizes the stark beauty of this charming and unspoiled corner of the Highveld. Here you will find peace among the lakes.
Only TWO and a Half HOUR drive from Jo-Burg (Oliver Tambo International).
The best FIRST NIGHT stop in South Africa, on your way to the Kruger National Park.
The Ideal STOP OVER between KRUGER and Kwa-Zulu Natal, (St Lucia Heritage Site) or the BERG (Drakensberg).
It is the ideal WEEKEND AWAY in the countryside.
What is new:-
- The dam next to the Old Barn Cottage
- Enjoy cosy socializing around the fire in our newly built Lapa.
- Two trout dams on the farm. Bring your fly-fishing gear and enjoy catch and release. Ordinary fishing rods are available for your children to use.
Winter farming continues as usual. Mother hen surprised us with 3 baby chicks and our baby orphan lamb and calf are thriving on good nourishment and much attention from our younger guests.
We are looking forward to your stay at Florence Guest Farm. Call us on +27 82 804 1771 or +27 82 802 2146.

die volgende 20 goeie seisoene wat voorlę ? Nico het my aangepor en
gesę: “ Kyk na die groot vroue, die Margaret Thatcher’s en
Hellen Zilli’s, hulle het eers na 50 hul ding gedoen, die kinders
is uit die huis en tyd is weer jou eie… go for it” Nouja…. Sie
daar… Ek het begin planne optrek.
In November word my
mamma(75) baie siek, sy ondergaan ‘n groot nek operasie, dis ‘n
gespook tussen haar, my pa en alles wat daarmee saam gaan. Ons het ‘n
heerlike kersfees saam met my broer Braam en sy familie op Ponta
Malongane in Mozambiek. Net daana besef ek ek sal iets moet doen vir
my ouers, hulle wil nie na ‘n tehuis gaan. Ons plaas mense sukkel
maar met daai tiepe besluite. Ek bou vir hulle ‘n huisie hier langs
