Eggs at breakfast, ducks and geese at the water, lamb bottles, alpacas, pigs, goats and the farm rhythm children remember.
At Landmeterskop, the animal rounds are a proper farm ritual. Children can collect free-range eggs, feed ducks and geese, help with lamb feeding and meet the alpacas, goats and pigs.
These moments depend on season, weather, animal care and daily farm work, but when they are happening they are the memories children take home.
Usually around 08h00 and 17h00, with children helping under supervision.
Bottle-feeding where available, usually around morning and evening rounds.
Gentle, memorable farm encounters for children who love animals.
Meet the pigs during the afternoon farm rhythm, usually around 17h00.
The swimming dam is the heart of a warm day on the farm. Swim, picnic, sit on the bank and watch the light move across the valley.
It is open water on a working farm, not a lifeguarded pool. Children must be actively supervised by adults at all times near water.

See the galleryFar from city light, the Overberg sky opens properly. Pull a chair onto the stoep, switch off the lights and look up.
Clear winter nights are especially good; bring warm layers.
Whatever the day held — dam, trail or animal round — it ends with the farm going quiet around you: a braai, a fire, a hot tub where available, and a sky full of stars.
Ask what is available at your cottage during your stay, including firewood and hot tub setup.
Dam & hot tubsChoose Karakul, Merino, Dormer or Duck Pond and ask what is happening on the farm during your dates.
