Bucklands Guest Farm
Description
The Ouwerwe house was the outbuilding of the original farmstead on Bucklands, which was once an Inn on the Ox Wagon Route from Cape Town to Uitenhage. The building was also used as a school, with a teacher all the way from England, and occasionally as a jail for prisoners on their way to the magistrate in Uitenhage. Today it is a 4-bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace in the lounge, and a large veranda with braai facilities. The house sleeps 12 people. Two of the bedrooms are furnished with a double bed and a single bed, while the third room has 2 single beds and a bunk bed. The fourth bedroom has 2 single beds. Both bathrooms are fitted with a bath and a shower. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove and fridge, and a wood-burning boiler for hot water. There is no Eskom power, no cell phone reception, and also no TV. Access to the Ouwerwe is by bakkie or SUV only. No 4x4 is required.
