Welcome to Blanco Guest Farm! Tucked away at the foot of the Winterberg mountains, Blanco Guest Farm is one of the Eastern Cape’s best-kept secrets. Blanco is the ideal family getaway for those who want to enjoy a farm holiday with a wide range of outdoor and nature pursuits.
Blanco Guest Farm takes care of everything during your stay so you can really kick back and unwind on your family getaway. We offer unpretentious Eastern Cape Accommodation that is cosy and comfortable and traditional farm food that is hearty and homely. For those who want to experience a more luxurious Family Getaway we also offer exclusive accommodation at The Manor House.
Blanco Guest Farm Accommodation
We offer fully inclusive packages that ensure you get a good break at affordable prices. Our rates include a full English breakfast, country-style lunch and five course dinner. Because we know how much the fresh outdoor air can take out of you we also provide mid-morning and mid-afternoon teas with tasty treats.
Blanco Guest Farm Country House
This charming little farm house consists of three family units.
The one unit is a loft bedroom with an en-suite bathroom for a family of 4.
The second unit consists of 3 bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom for a family of 6.
The third unit is a three quarter unit with a queen-size bed and bunk beds for a family of 4 or two adults.
The bedrooms surround a central open plan living area.
Further to the rooms, the house consists of a centrally placed open plan kitchen and lounge with an enormous old fireplace for those wintery days. There is also a beautiful sunny enclosed veranda with a large dining room area, a bar and an indoor braai facility. As a bonus there is a lovely lounging loft area where games can be played or midnight feasts can be held.
This cottage can be used as a self-catering option or alternatively you can book out the house and still use the Blanco dining room facilities.
Blanco Guest Farm Country Cottages
Our cottages are serviced and freshened up every day and provide the perfect base for a Family Getaway. All of the cottages have private bathrooms. The cottages are equipped with heaters for the cold months and fans during the warmer months. We also provide tea and coffee for you to enjoy in the early mornings.
Our Eastern Cape Accommodation is comfortable and cosy, even though most of our guests spend the majority of their time outside their cottages.
Blanco Guest Farm Manor House
Each of the 4 suites in the Manor house is completely private for individual families and each has its own garden or private balcony.
Alternatively, for a group of 4 families to take the house together, it works beautifully as added to the spacious rooms, it boasts an extremely tasteful and spacious private lounge (with a magnificent fireplace for the winters) and dining room area for everyone to congregate.
As a holiday destination, one could not ask for more comfort whilst having the full farm experience at the same time. Dining still takes place in the main Blanco dining room.
Dining at Blanco Guest Farm
We offer hearty, country-style cooking that is satisfying and comforting. We serve:
- A country-style breakfast
- A light lunch
- A four-course dinner
- Afternoon tea and treats
We also offer mid-morning and mid-afternoon teas because we know how the fresh air can whet the appetite. Home-made bread and farm fresh cream are also on the menu every day and our infamous roasties have earned themselves a countrywide reputation. Children and adults are served separately at mealtimes, in separate dining areas. Blanco nannies will attend to the children during mealtimes so that mom and dad can relax and socialise a bit.
We are not licenced so we encourage our guests to bring their own drinks along.
