We stayed in the Guinnea Fowl Cottage, (next to the packing house), which overlooked a ripening pear orchard and magnificent mountains. With the vine and roses in the front and the orchard in the back, it was full of prettiness! The skies were picture perfect every evening. Days were hot (December) as can be expected, but the cool pool was glorious! Our cottage was well equipped and the patio at the back was where we spent our leisure hours. We hiked, we swam, we visited a wine farm and local reataurants, WE RESTED, and next time we will definitely go fishing in the dam where there is an abudance of bass for catch and release.
The cottage was quaint and pretty, our hosts were welcoming and loved the little goodies and peaches that you could buy😊
Lovely spot with a nice walk around the dam or a hike up the mountain....... cosy cottage with fire and underfloor heating - perfect
Rhodene farm is a piece of paradise! Nestled beneath the mountains and blessed with clean air and star-filled skies the location is fantastic for exploring the Ceres valley. Ean and Glenda (and Liesel who manages the properties) were very helpful. They provide guides and activity information soon after you've booked and help out with advice and with bookings. The farm itself is a wonderful place to spend a few days (or months!) relaxing. We will be back!
Within a radius of 50km are many wineries that offer very affordable and drinkable wines. 9km away Ceres offers one of the best 9 hole golf courses in the country and 2 glass back squash courts for the energetic.

自我介绍
The farm has been in the von Buddenbrock family since 1951 when Ray von Buddenbrock was given the farm by her father as a wedding present. Her son, Ean, is the present owner and has been on the farm since 1989. The farm was originally laid out by Captain Dean in the 1920’s and he named the farm after his daughter, Rhoda. Captain Dean was a founder member of Ceres Fruit Growers packhouse and fruit was exported from the farm under the “Heron Brand” in those days. He was also a keen golfer and a founder member of the Ceres Golf Club. The size of Rhodene is 167 hectares of which some 40 hectares are planted to fruit. It is a deciduous fruit farm consisting mainly of various varieties of pears, as well as apples and peaches. The fruit picking season stretches from the beginning of December to the beginning of April. In 2010 we acquired the next door farm called Voëlvlei and renovated six cottages and refurbished a big farm house. Ean is married to Glenda and they have two children. Their daughter, Chantelle, is married to Jean and they have two daughters. Their son Karl is a veterinarian and is currently working in Nelspruit. The family have three dogs: Rex is a cross between a Great Dane and a Boerbul. He was born in January 2018, so is still a young dog - although he is a very large one! He is very energetic and loves to run and play. Charlie Brown, our Jack Russell is the oldest, thoroughly spoiled and carries enough attitude for the whole family. Another new addition to our doggy family is Rusty. He is also a Jack Russel and was only born in January 2019. He and Rex are great friends.
