Steepside Guest Farm is owned by Kobus and Karen Buitendag. The farm is situated half-way between Barkly East and Rhodes in the picturesque Southern Drakensberg.
Steepside now also offers a campsite for the more adventurous folk. The campsite has 2 ablution blocks with toilets, warm-water showers and washing basins. There is no electricity at the campsite, but deep freezes at the main house will be available to store spoilables.
During the winter, the Tiffendell ski-resort is a mere 50km away from the farm.
Enough drift wood around for a nice fire under the stars. Choose your own camping spot on the open grass or under the trees. Sandstone cliffs on the one side, and the river on your other side.
