SEASONS AT WYNDFORD · CHRISTMAS
A Very South African Christmas at Wyndford
Summer mornings, a table full of familiar faces and the Free State mountains beyond the garden. Spend a little of December together at Wyndford.
A South African Christmas begins in summer. The morning is already bright, someone is thinking about a swim, and there is still coffee to finish before the day gets going.
At Wyndford, December brings green lawns and trees in full leaf. The mountains change colour through the afternoon, giving you a reason to look up from your book or stay outside for a few minutes more. The days have room in them.
That is the invitation: bring the people you love, settle in and give yourselves time to enjoy being in the same place.
Bring the people you never see enough
December can fill up before the holiday has properly begun. There are meals to organise, rooms to prepare and visits to fit around one another. Even the happiest gathering takes work.
At the farm, we can take care of the beds, the cooking and clearing the table. You can stay seated for the rest of the conversation. Catch up with your parents. Spend an afternoon with the children. Take the family photograph while everyone is finally together.
There is a particular pleasure in being part of the celebration from beginning to end, with time to enjoy the people you brought.
A Christmas with room for summer
Begin with breakfast, then take a walk while the morning is still cool. Leave time for the lawn, for a seat in the shade, for lunch that carries on into the afternoon. A swim before dinner might be all the planning you need.
The festive photographs from the farm tell their own story: paper crowns around the lunch table, crackers waiting at each place and Father Christmas outdoors beneath the trees. A little ceremony, a little fun, and summer all around.
Stay long enough to settle in
You might be gathering for Christmas itself, or looking for a few December days away together. Either way, start with the people you would like to bring and the dates you can share.
Have a look at Wyndford’s accommodation and activities and facilities as you imagine your stay. There is time to explore, and time simply to be at the farm.
