We offer a range of accommodation options, including: The Forge, The Farm Cottages, The Schoolyard and the Africamps Glamping Tents. THE FORGE
A combination of wow factor, rustic country elegance and romantic charm second-to-none, has made The Forge at Oakhurst a top retreat for anyone looking for a little peace and quiet. Sleeping a total of six, The Forge has two spacious bedrooms with king-size beds, one bedroom has a wheelchair -friendly ensuite bathroom. There are an two additional single beds for kids in a loft room, as well as a second shared bathroom. This 150 year old stone cottage was one of the first building to be built at Oakhurst, still retaining its thick stone walls and exposed timber beams. The living area wraps around the cottage and is made up of a dining area, equipped kitchen with gas stove and cosy lounge. The living area opens out via glass doors onto a lovely covered deck with soothing views onto open fields and forests. Outdoors there is a secluded, open-air hot shower, as well as a private plunge pool and wood fired hot tub. Percale linen, bath towels and soaps, as well as free WiFi are included with your stay. THE FARM COTTAGES
Our Farm Cottages have been a part of Oakhurst for the past 30 years. Kween’s Kaya, Awies Attic, Leenies Lair, Hans’s Hollow and Nick’s Nook are set along the edge of a section of forest, intersected with a gurgling stream that flows during the rainy periods. The cottages are about 15m apart, separated by hedges and have a large lawned area in front of them. Each cottage is fully set up for self-catering, with a well equipped kitchen and cozy living area with wooden floors. The living area in turn opens out onto a large wooden deck and braai area. This is the spot where you can either enjoy a good meal around the large wooden table or simply enjoy some of Oakhurst’s fine mountain air while getting stuck into a good book. Each cottage has three bedrooms (One double and two twins) and sleeps up to 6 people. The double bedroom is self contained, while the two twin bedrooms are interleading, the second twin can only be accessed via the first twin bedroom. Garden Route winters can be cold, and a fire roaring in the kitchen’s wood-burning stove sets the perfect atmosphere for farm winters. THE SCHOOLYARD
Once the school to Oakhurst’s farm children, this building has been lovingly restored and converted into three character-packed, semi-detached (they all sit alongside each other), fully-equipped units, each with a double and twin bedroom. The three units, namely Landon’s Loft, Holly’s Hangout and Anna’s Apartment each sleep 5 guests in total. They have one double room, plus a second bedroom with a single bed and bunk beds with ladders. The units share a full length covered patio, with views out over the farm and mountains in the distance. Holly’s Hangout and Anna’s Apartment. are ideal for families or groups sharing, as these two units inter-lead via internal doors. All units have independent braai areas, kitchenettes and a bathroom with shower. The Schoolyard puts you right in the centre of the action, and within walking distance (500m) of the children’s play area, the farm dam and the swimming reservoir. With those gorgeous rural views and fresh country air, there’s plenty of reason to get out and explore. THE AFRICAMPS GLAMPING TENTS
Africamps now has eight beautiful canvas tents set up at Oakhurst. Overlook rolling green fields and the Outeniqua Mountains beyond, the tents are tucked away along the banks of one of the farm dams, a spot you’ll fall in love with! At Oakhurst there is no shortage of healthy outdoor fun to keep you and your kids busy. The tents are situated next to one of three farm dams. Try your luck at a spot of fishing or take out one of the canoes. Kilometres of well-maintained single track through the forest is ideal for mountain biking or trail running and the farm’s majestic waterfall makes for an adventurous forest hike. The kids can visit Oakhurst Dairy to watch cows being milked and calves being fed either early morning or afternoon. Each tent sleeps 5 and has two queen beds and a single bunk bed. The tents are fully equipped with everything you need, including a lovely deck and braai area.
