About Us
A Journey of Transformation
In May of 1994, Gert & Jackie Harmse embarked on a remarkable journey by acquiring Grietjie 65. At that time, the land held no access to water or electricity, and there were only three modest stone structures with no glass windows in sight.
While Jackie was initially taken aback, her husband Gert envisioned the potential of this extraordinary location, blessed with breathtaking panoramic views that captivated their hearts.
Grietjie, with its 100 plots separated by fences and sparse wildlife, was a canvas waiting to be transformed. Enduring months without the basic comforts of water and electricity, the couple’s determination prevailed. They managed to bring a borehole to life, although its water supply proved limited. Electricity, provided by Eskom, finally graced their property in October 1994.
Over the years, Gert and Jackie poured their hearts and souls into the land, tirelessly building and renovating every year since that day in 1994. Today, their hard work and dedication have turned Grietjie 65 into a thriving haven.
Our property relies on a borehole for water, so we kindly ask that you be mindful of conserving this precious resource by not leaving taps running unnecessarily.
Moreover, we’ve installed an emergency generator to ensure uninterrupted power in case of Eskom outages. Rest assured, it takes just a few seconds for the generator to kick in and keep you comfortable.
As you embark on your stay with us, we trust you’ll be captivated by the natural beauty that surrounds Grietjie 65 and cherish the unique experience it has to offer.
