Your host is Hendrik Van Zijl. With his knowledge of the area, maps and extensive library he will answer your questions and help you find the answers to them.

These guest houses are beautifully restored traditional sandstone buildings typical of the architecture and stone masonry of Nieuwoudtville. Van Zijl Guest Houses are open throughout the year.

All guest houses excepting THE GREENDOOR, are fully equipped for self-catering although it is highly recommended that you indulge yourself in the country cuisine served by your host, Hendrik Van Zijl, at his SMIDSWINKEL RESTAURANT. The Restaurant is within walking distance of all the guest houses, so you are not inconvenienced by long drives for an excellent meal, local wine and good company.

THE SMIDSWINKEL RESTAURANT & INFORMATION CENTER is situated in a large sandstone building which, many years ago, was occupied by the last blacksmith at Nieuwoudtville. The Restaurant offers traditional farm style meals and for the adventurous we will even prepare baked "skilpadjies" (liver) or a sheep's head. Accommodation Bookings
