Conveniently located between the Mother City and the vineyards of Stellenbosch and Paarl, lan and Lorna warmly welcome you to their Cape Town backpackers and riding centre, Fat Pony.
Fat Pony is a family-run, child and biker-friendly farm house hostel in Joostenbergsevlakte.
Go wine-tasting in the rolling hills of the Cape Winelands or make your way into the city with its vibrant myriad of restaurants, bars & shops. After a day exploring, you can buy wine from our bar or an ice-cold beer to wash away those aches and pains. The resident Punjabi-chef is an expert in Indian cooking but we also provide scrumptious English and South African meals.
Camp amidst the trees on the grassy campsite; or if you’d rather stay inside, there are rooms and dorms available. All rooms have separate entrances, heating for cool winter months and en-suite bathrooms with spacious, airy, hot water showers. Bed linens are provided and towels are available to hire.
Cook your own meals in a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen with a log fire or braai outside. Relax on comfortable sofas in a large entertainment room with a pool table, library and sun deck overlooking a braai garden with pool.
Free Wi-Fi is available covering most of the farm. There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer available to hire at a small fee.
Fat Pony Backpackers & Riding Centre offers activities from Horse Riding and Pony Trails with Outrides through the scenic Cape Winelands - Lorna is BHSAI and EQASA qualified so you can be assured you are in very capable hands.
