Erin Farmhouse & Cottages

Erin is a Karoo homestead near Middelburg in the eastern Karoo that offers you individual cottages for farm-style accommodation. Erin is only a few minutes drive from the town, and conveniently situated in the fresh, clean air of the open farmland away from lights and any other disturbances. Erin is pet- and child-friendly, with views over the sweeping plains to the nearby Renosterberg mountains.

Erin is situated approximately halfway between Johannesburg and the Garden Route/ Cape Town, providing you with an excellent stopover point. Your accommodation is located just off the N9 between Middelburg and Graaff-Reinet. This quiet, noise-free farmstead is also a perfect place for you to relax and unwind for a few days in the tranquillity of the open Karoo.

Your accommodation is pet-friendly, with all of our four units having a 1.2 m high fence to keep your animals safe and contained. All units are fully equipped for self-catering, including braai facilities and a pack of free firewood for you every night. All units have fans and heaters, but not air-conditioning.

At Erin we respect your right to quiet, undisturbed solitude, and there are no televisions or radios in the rooms, and no music or other disturbances are allowed.

Youll love to enjoy a sundowner at the end of the day, perhaps with a braai (BBQ), watching the sun set over the Renosterberg mountains in the west. Feel free to go for a walk, watch the birds and the stars, and enjoy tranquillity at its Karoo best.

  • "Baie lekker."

    23 April 2007

    "Die verblyf by Erin was uit die boonste rakke. Toe ons nog op pad was, het Trevor al gebel om te hoor wanneer ons daar sal wees. Toe ons daar arriveer het Trevor ons vriendelik ontvang en ons ingelig van alles wat ons moet weet. Die aand het ons n lekker aandete gehad, wat ons nie sommer sal vergeet nie. Die nag het ons baie lekker geslaap. Die ontbyt die volgende oggend was net so lekker.Na ontbyt het ons gery, en Trevor het ons by die kar afgesien. My komplimente aan Trevor vir sy sy gasvryheid en vriendelikheid. Sal as die geleendheid hom voordoen, weer daar wil gaan kuier, maar dan moet dit vir langer wees. Hou so aan Trevor."
