Description

Where you can be sure of the warmest welcome and the highest standard of service. A tranquile garden with water features for the great bird life, as per our name... The woodpecker!!

We are centrally situated on the MALOTI ROUTE. Ficksburg was named after General Jan Fick in 1867 and enjoys a scenic location along the banks of the Caledon River below the Imperani Mountain and is separated from Lesotho by a border post and bridge crossing the river. Thanks to the Katse dam project, Ficksburg has grown quite a cosmopolitan community. The majestic Maluti's form a backdrop of purple haze in summer, to snow capped peaks in winter. Up in the hills of the Maluti Mountain are numerous caves with lovely examples of San rock art. Ficksburg is the gateway to Lesotho and the Katse dam, which is definitely something to see. Ficksburg is best known today for its annual cherry festival, the oldest festival in South Africa which takes place in November. Other than the festival, visitors can go cruising on the Meulspruit dam over weekends. (Cruises on the White Mischief can be booked through the guesthouse)

We are only 2 km away from the Lesotho border, 110 km away from Katse dam, 75 km away from Clarens and Golden Gate. The Afri ski resort is only 1 hour's drive from the guesthouse and most people come and stay with us and visit the resort as day visitors to experience the snow during June until August. We have affordable break-away weekend specials and tours to the above can be arranged on prior arrangement.
