This Is Our Story
Golden Sunset is offering this hide away called "Dirk se Huisie". A cottage, the late Dirk Blanckenberg used to live in while working on the farm. Originally only a room with a kitchen - it was always lovingly referred to as "Dirk se Huisie".
In honour of Dirk, we decided to keep the name.

Definitely for a proper relaxation and off the grid, Dirk se Huisie is the place to be. That dam and lilos! (Yeah i burnt). We just cooked for 3 days and enjoyed the view with it. What a magical little treasure. We want to come again soon!
