Graaff-Reinet, the 4th oldest magisterial district in South Africa is called the “Gem of the Karoo”. The town has long been justly renowned for its attractive and well-preserved historic homes and buildings, for which it has been widely acclaimed as one of the most visited towns in South Africa. Graaff-Reinet is virtually surrounded by the Camdeboo National Park, which is home to the world renowned Valley of Desolation. The farm Waterval is about 32 kilometres outside Graaff-Reinet on the Erasmuskloof road; a winding gravel road slowly snaking along the Broederstroom river. It offers spectacular mountain views, but be warned: the terrain can be strenuous so drive slowly and rather enjoy the beautiful surrounds. We breed cattle, sheep and horses on Waterval. There’s also a fair amount of game roaming the open veld. Wateval is a paradise for anyone who loves to walk, climb mountains or do outdoor activities. The area is rich in fossils and anyone interested in the plants of the Karoo would find much to appreciate here. But mostly you come here for the tranquillity; the silence. It’s time to unwind and relax. Come to Waterval to experience the Karoo at its best.

Reviews
Waterval Farm-Stay was wonderful. Ansie and Johan are wonderful hosts. It is an authentic Karoo farm stay complete with no cell phone reception, clear starry skies and the occasional tortoise. This is not luxury accommodation but it is clean, comfortable and charming. There is plenty to do on the farm including a challenging but rewarding hike. I would return in a heartbeat.
A true Karoo experience, fantastic walk to God's Balcony, and Johan and Ansie are helpful in any way.

Graaff Reinet Reviews
Graaff-Reinet is a town full of history with excellent hospitality.
Lovely old buildings, a fantastic coffee shop with lovely things to buy, a restful Karoo landscape.
Old homes and churches. The national park was great.
Lovely site seeing. Valley of de Desolation.
Not much to do. Maybe go walking.
The scenery and beautiful historic buildings
How the people of Graaff-Reinet have made something good into a great Tourist town for everyone.
Such a wonderful place, steeped in historical and natural interest. Museums, National Park and nearby Owl House.
Picturesque town, Reinet House Museum is a great stop, dinner at Pioneers, Nieu Bethesda to see the Owl House is worth the drive.
ATMOSPHERE!
