Die Ou Pastorie was built in the 1880’s as a pastoral home during a time when wild animals roamed the valley; people traveled by ox-wagons and the politics of the day involved the Anglo-Boer Wars.

Our small property lies in the rich, fertile valley of Scheerpoort, named so because it was the last opportunity to shave and ‘clean up’ before arriving in the hub of Pretoria by oxwagon (a 3 day travel).

What People are Saying

“A more beautiful and romantic setting for a Valentine’s Sunday lunch is hard to imagine. ”

“The food was both delicious and the presentation beautiful with very helpful and attentive staff. Great place to visit in the Skeerpoort countryside in the valley of the Magalies mountain range. Absolutely delightful, tranquil, tree filled venue with a strong sense of history and beautiful artworks to boot and a very charming hostess.“

Roelien van der Walt

“Great place to stop over”

“Well preserved South African historical residence, complete with authentic furniture and other household items, like stepping back in time to the 1850s. Rooms are well kept, beds are comfortable.“

George Diliyannis

“Lovely little find”

“Old Country House with a great garden setting for outdoor lunches. We had a late lunch and there was live music which was great. I ate the butter chicken curry, my friends had a beef pie and the chicken strips and chips – all of them were very tasty! Service was good and the waiter made some recommendations.“

Jess Roussos

“Beautiful”

“The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, but we chose to sit outside under the trees. It is so peaceful and quiet for breakfast, that we just sat there for an hour or two chatting. The breakfast was great and service was fast and friendly.“
