Altes Landhaus is the perfect base from which to explore the scenic attractions of the little Karoo, and the natural beauty of the nearby Garden Route. Mossel Bay, George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay are all a short day-trip away. Enjoy the beauty and adventure of the Garden Route, with whale watching, hiking, horse riding, fishing, game viewing and much more. Renowned for its courses of Fancourt in George, home of the 2003 President's Cup and the 2005 Woman's World Cup of Golf, the Pezula Championship Course in Knysna, and of course the Oudtshoorn Country Club, set to become one of the definitive Golf Course Estates in the Karoo.

Leisurely walks around the scenic grounds of Altes Landhaus provide many an opportunity to admire the indigenous birdlife, or the farm's own Ostriches. The idyllic charms of the Garden Route – sandy beaches, leafy forests, golfing greens and scenic mountain passes – provide a diverse choice of exciting day outings.

A generous farm or continental breakfast, enjoyed on a superb Karoo morning on the outdoor patio, begins the day's pleasures at Altes Landhaus. Dinner is available on request, and includes a choice of the finest local specialities: Ostrich meat, fresh fish, succulent Karoo lamb, or fresh farm chicken – lovingly prepared and cooked to perfection. Vegetarian meals will be served on request.

A mere 45-minute drive away, the tantalising beaches of the Wilderness beckon, with the picturesque towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay offering ample opportunity for holiday shopping, leisure adventure, forest walks and seaside sojourns.
