Our hospitality and cosy guest house will lead the way to an unforgettable Kalahari repose. Personal attention to your every need - only one guest house on more than 16000 hectares!!

One day in 1943 my grandfather left the farm in Heidelberg to buy horses in Beaufort West. He and his friend were supposed to be back after three days. When he returned after two weeks he told my grandmother that he had bought a farm in the Kalahari and planned to move there. He bought the farm Caledonia and they moved to Kuruman in 1944 and started the farming operation that was taken over by my father, Kobus Hauman, when grandfather died in 1953.

I bought Soetvlakte from my father in 1994 and the Kalahari is part of our character.
