about blue crane farm lodge
Located on the slopes of the Houwhoek mountains along the outstanding beauty of the Van Der Stel Pass, 6.4 km from Botrivier you will find Blue Crane Farm Lodge.
Once you have reached your destination you will enter our security gate and you will explore this beautiful private area overlooking a dam. Relax in the wood fired hot tub and enjoy the magnificent views the Overberg has to offer.
Consider our place your home away from home. Our newly build luxury farm style cottages are self-catering, comfortable, warm and well-furnished to the highest standard. Offering 2 bedrooms, indoor braai/fireplace, pizza oven, an inviting wood fired hot tub and many more.
Owner Bennie Engelke, is an avid bird lover and therefore named each house representing a bird from the area.
We have 4 cottages, Woodpecker, Suikerbekkie, Piet my vrou & Fish Eagle.
Through a serving hatch located next to the kitchen door a freshly baked bread and farm milk will be delivered every morning of your stay.
Although tucked away between the mountains there are a huge number of attractions in and around the area.
