[ Resort Review ] Skurweberg Guest Farm, NC

Richard Van Ryneveld
Starry Skies & Scenic Lands
If you’re a landscape photographer, astral photographer, 4x4 enthusiast, or just someone who wants to chill out, relax and listen to your microbes singing in the clear Roggeveld air, then the campsite under the canopy of poplar trees at Skurweberg Guest Farm is the right place.

Owned by Witjan and Elsa van der Merwe, Skurweberg Guest Farm is situated in a long valley some 45 kilometres from the town of Sutherland, with the campsite right on the banks of the upper Fish River.

Skurweberg is simple but well maintained, with a central electrical point and a neat ablution block with tons of hot water. There are also lapa and braai facilities.
