The farm Mertenhof is situated in the bottom of the Biedouw Valley, beyond Agter Pakhuis, east of Clanwilliam. On your way to the farm you will travel through the surrounds with exquisite views and breathtaking scenery. Once you arrive at the campsite situated on the farm, you can pitch your trailers and tents on a lovely grass campsite, with trees that provide shade for those hot afternoons.

Reviews
After a gruelling few days cycling through the Cederberg, Mertenhof Farm was the perfect haven. Mariette welcomed me with hearty home-cooked meals, hot tea, and even had some padkos to keep me fuelled for the next leg of my journey. She went above and beyond to ensure I had everything for a restful stay. I highly recommend taking a walk to the dam for a refreshing swim and breathtaking views. Read the poster about Sand fish conservation efforts in the Cederberg. An unforgettable experience—I’d return in a heartbeat! WhatsApp ahead if you have any special requests or questions - I had fast and helpful responses.
Very nicely situated accommodation. Though all inside was a bit old, it worked fine and was complete. Would go back there anytime!
Well maintained and situated in a very nice spot.
The Mertenhof Guest Farm is situated in a beautiful corner of the Cederberg and Biedouw valley. We were welcomed warmly by Mariette, our host, and no effort was too big to her to make our stay comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and will definitely go back again.
The farm is beautiful. The 4x4 trail is so much fun and Mariette and her husband made us feel most welcome with their friendly and helpful manner.
I highly recommend Mertenhof Farm.
As an Airbnb host myself, I want to make you aware of two issues in the accommodation we shared this weekend: (1) the shower head must looked at - water leaking from the connection with the pipe and most of the shower head holes are closed. (2) the one bed in the second bedroom from the kitchen: the bed is not even hight (head is lower than feet) and both mattresses are very hard (compared to the beds in the other room).
