Myrtle Ryan Experiences A Winter Wonderland at Wyndford Guest Farm
The sandstone cliffs above Wyndford Guest Farm in the Eastern Free State, eight kilometres from Fouriesburg, on the banks of the Little Caledon River and within a stone’s throw of Lesotho, peered shortsightedly out from behind the veil of mist which swathed them. At their feet, the bushes were dusted in a gossamer mantle of […]
The Mystery…
What will the next move be… who will take the game… There are so many of you who love Wyndford, who enjoy spending time in her space, relaxing, maybe challenging yourself to climb a mountain you didn’t think was possible, meeting strangers across the table and making new friends. Or just sitting in the gardens […]
Wyndford News March 2024…
Happy Easter A well-run hospitality establishment should appear to the outside world as a duck on a dam. On the surface calm, collected and peaceful but below the surface paddling like crazy. We really have paddled this month, literally and physically but more about that later! The Cosmos are flowering! Our average rainfall for January […]
Fabulous February has arrived…

Temperatures have ranged from cool mornings and evenings to beautiful sunny days that motivated all of us to have a closer look at the pool. The heavens have opened with 30mms of rain in an hour, […]
Season Greetings…
This festive season we housed 214 people for 838 bed nights. That is a lot of greetings, festive wishes, and sad farewells.

On a personal note…
This is the last time I will sit with my laptop on some part of the farm and tell you the story that is Wyndford. Our people, our animals, our guests. The highs, the lows…and sometimes the very lows. Joyful births and the tears that come with endings. Through floods, droughts and fires, talking of […]

Always a warm Hello…!
Last time we mentioned that you would get cuddles from Felix. Well, he is coming out of his shell and is now running up the drive to greet each new guest with leg winding and purrs. Yes, Felix is a cat – a rescue who is pretty feisty, confirmed by his ragged ear – he […]
