Wisp-Will Cottages and Game Farm

Wisp-Will Cottages and Game Farm is situated only two and a half hours south of Johannesburg and two hours east of Bloemfontein in the rolling hills and grassveld of the Riemland in the Eastern Free State between Arlington and Senekal. The backdrop to this beautiful game and pedigree cattle and sheep farm is the Biddulps Mountain, Tafelkop, Sieringkrans and Witkop with the Witteberge and the distant Maluti’s and Drakensberg of Golden Gate only one hour away. Activities include ethical hunting, game viewing, bird watching, wing shooting, horse riding, biking, mountain biking and 4X4 fun in the Sand River that runs through the farm. Hiking trails will take you through 10 000 acres of hills, plateaux and river area. You will see herds of pedigree cattle, sheep and ten species of game. The game area itself comprises 1 400 acres with wildebeest, blesbuck, springbok and others. The scarce prehistoric girdle-tailed lizard (sonkyker) is also to be seen here as well as early settlements and sites of geological interest. There are two chalets -- one with three bedrooms and two single beds in each, and the other with a double bedroom and two bedrooms with two single beds. Both have fully equipped kitchens, lounge area, a shower with hand basin and separate bathroom with toilet and hand basin. The braai areas are wind-protected and there is also an open outside bush boma with a flush toilet, a small splash pool and a pub/lounge area that makes this the ideal destination for groups of friends and families. Older kids will love to spend a night in the third rustic rondavel with two bunker beds some 40 metres from the parent’s chalet with outside toilet and solar shower. There is also a small kennel with under cover sleeping area for dogs. No dogs allowed inside chalets. SABC TV channels available in bar - bring own smartcard for other channels. Fire wood supplied - bring own charcoal. Two two-seater qaud bikes available for hire. Other facilities include a splash pool and a reservoir to swim in. (Wisp-Will Cottages operates in conjunction with KweKwe Lodge just three km away).
