Surround yourself with the Serenity and Tranquility of Watermill Farm, enfolded within the foothills of the Rooiberg Mountain Range and Conservancy area, situated 3 kilometers from the Little Karoo village of Van Wyksdorp. The farm is ideally suited to nature lovers, plant and bird enthusiasts and those simply needing to soothe their souls. All the cottages are fully equipped, with Egyptian percale cotton bedding and towels provided. The hand-made mud brick walls are plastered with earth on the interior and then whitewashed. The dung floors are warm and soft to the tread, and each cottage is unique. We have tried to match the furnishings with the style of each cottage, gleaned mostly from local antique shops, thus creating each with its own character and individual ambiance. The single thread that draws them together is a gentle simplicity redolent of how we once lived - and perhaps could again. At Watermill Farm we are immersed in unspoilt nature, surrounded by pristine veldt, clean air, and pure water that comes from a natural spring that bubbles out of the mountain from an ancient limestone aquifer. We are very aware of how privileged we are, and so we take our commitment to the environment and sustainability seriously, living with care and concern for the environment. There are lovely walks around the farm, plus a mountain spring water fed dam to swim in. Clear skies offer magnificent sunsets and exceptional stargazing at night. All our cottages are completely off grid powered by solar energy. Firewood and fresh organic farm eggs are available to purchase.

The Mall is an eclectic shop and coffee bar. Dusty Dog is a licensed restaurant with ad hoc live music events. Buffelsfontein Art Gallery showcases local artists paintings and pottery. Rooiberg Lodge outside the village offers an à la carte licensed restaurant seven days a week. The village has a street market every Saturday morning offering local fresh produce in season.
