For decades now the farm has
opened its gates to visitors.
To begin with, those visitors
were family and friends but the
welcome always encouraged
friends of friends and many
who were curious to drop in
and meet these pioneers of the
land. Soon the cottages were
being let for weekends and the
farm bred horses were bringing
in their keep through new safari
ventures. These days the horses
and the safaris are known around
the world, but the genuine and
heartfelt welcome is still the
same.
In a rapidly changing world
where community is a rare thing,
family values disintegrating
and neighbourly relationships
a thing of the past, it is good
to know there are pockets of
people where these are still the
core values. Triple B welcomes
the wanderer; the traveller keen
to find the out of the way place
where relationships still matter.
Triple B guarantees that you will
be well fed and well watered, that
your sleep will be restful and your
days peaceful, it will revive your
spirits in more ways than one and
send you back out again refreshed
and encouraged.
The old stone church at 24 Rivers,
just a short drive from the ranch,
is still a source of spiritual renewal
and, despite its location, it draws,
not just Christ’s bushveld family,
but the international cousins who,
by way of divine nudging, have
found themselves in the vicinity
to worship. There is always a lift
each Sunday and you may well
find yourself picking up pilgrims
along the way yourself.
Though the community worships
at 24 Rivers every Sunday, the
church has its sleeves rolled up
during the week also. There is
much going on in the community
on a daily basis from a flourishing
welfare society dealing head
on with the issues of AIDS,
a children’s feeding scheme
and two orphanages running
on either side of the town. To
join these operations for just a
moment is both easy to organise
and encouraging to the soul and
so we like to offer our visitors the
opportunity to get stuck in.
Accommodation options range
