This house sleeps eight in four double rooms and is fully equipped for self-catering, including BBQ facilities. The open hearth inside, situated in the informal lounge/bar area, is a firm favourite with regulars who have spent many memorable hours there on chilly winter evenings.
This lovely old sandstone house, situated directly opposite the Dutch Reformed Church, was donated by the original builder and owner to the church. For a number of years this house was used as a clinic, and hundreds of children were born here – many of them were later baptised in the church opposite, and eventually married there. Tourists visiting Nieuwoudtville who were born in the house never pay for their accommodation, and quite a few tourists have returned to their birthplace and stayed in Bokveld.
Bokveld has been extensively restored. Throughout a balance was sought between the aesthetic and the historical on the one hand and the functional on the other. |
