This working ostrich and tobacco farm in the foothills of the Swartberg mountain range is situated on a scenic, circular route linking the Cango Caves, the Swartberg Pass, Oudtshoorn and Calitzdorp.

Enjoy true South African hospitality from the Strydom family who have farmed here for seven generations since 1759.

The most outstanding feature of Kruisrivier, apart from the scenic setting, is its absolute sense of peace and quiet with the murmur of water streams to lull you into complete relaxation.

Attractions close-by include the Cango Caves, the popular 4X4 trail into 'the Hell', the Cango Wildlife Ranch where you can pat a cheetah and view crocodiles, Ostrich Show Farms, scenic drives and more.
