Come experience the tranquility of the countryside!

Our well equipped self-catering farmhouse and private campsite is ideal for traveling persons and groups, or anyone that seeks to escape the noise of the city.

We are a day's journey (600km) from Cape Town and thus a good stopover for those heading to either Namibia, Kgalagadi or Botswana. Oom Benna's is situated less than 1 km from the R27 between Kenhardt and Brandvlei and the latter is only 15km south.(See Contact Us for a map).

The unit is fully equipped for self catering purposes with a gas stove, gas geyser, gas fridge, electric lights (solar power) and braai facilities. Bedding is provided for 12 people.

For campers, there are shower facilities, a small sitting room and scullery for dishes. A second option for the campers, is a separate room with 3 bunkbeds. (No bedding suplied for this option.)
