Fiona Berresford
My husband Ray and myself left the hustle and bustle of the UK in May 2004, leaving behind turkey farming and a security business and emmigrated to South Africa to renovate one of the oldest farmhouses in the Plettenberg Bay area along with the many original buildings that came with it. After several years of hard work we have achieved 4 star grading with the TGCSA, met lots of lovely people during our 7 year stay here in Plett and never looked back. Along with our 3 dogs, 3 cats, 6 budgies and a Macaw parrot, have got a growing herd of Zului cows (Ngunis) and look after several old racehorses and a polo pony who is 29 years old!

For those who prefer the tranquil countryside to the hustle and bustle of a busy
seaside town, especially in the peak season then a warm welcome awaits you at the oldest farmhouse in the rural Uplands region of Plettenberg Bay. With its 100 acres of landscaped grounds, farmland and forest and hosting our small Nguni herd and retired polo and racehorses you are certain to relax and enjoy the surroundings. You are just a 15 minute drive to Plettenberg Bay’s famous white sandy beaches, restaurants and many tourist attractions. An eight minute drive will secure you a horse-back or Jeep safari at the popular and well priced Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve or Buffalo Hills Game Park.
Spend a romantic night in of our authentic rondavels with sweet smelling thatch, choose a modern decorated garden room or African styled suite, or spoil yourself to a Colonial room in the farmhouse with its yellowwood floors and beams reflecting the bygone days of old Africa. Our self-catering forest lodges with their own pool and braai areas offer that perfect bush getaway beit for a weekend or family holiday. We have something here to suit all budgets.
Our breakfasts are legendary, served either in the Old Dairy infront of a roaring log fire should the mornings be cold or on our terrace surrounded by geraniums and fresh herbs. Evening meals and traditional South African braais can be catered for by prior notice.
For those who are energetic, mountain biking, hiking or bass fishing is all here for you at Bellamanga. Quad bike safaris can be arranged in advance exclusively for our guests, alternatively for a lazy day, a day spent at the pool and jacuzzi with a light lunch might be just the tonic you need.
We have facilities here for large and small weddings, conferences, team building or just large group visits.
