Welcome to Stone Ridge

A farm retreat like no other

Tucked away on a working farm just 12 km from Naboomspruit (Mookgophong), Stone Ridge Cottage is a spacious, character-filled self-catering property in the heart of the Limpopo bushveld. Think polished concrete floors, teal pendant lights, a barn sliding door, exposed stone pillars and wide open farm views.

A place built for gathering — big families, groups of friends, special occasions and celebrations — yet quiet enough for those who simply want to unplug, breathe and rediscover what slow living feels like.

"Wake up to birdsong, braai under the stars, cast a line before breakfast — this is what a proper South African getaway looks like."

With room for 17 and a kitchen made for serious cooking, there's space for everyone. With game, birds, fishing and open trails on the doorstep, boredom simply isn't on the itinerary.

Things to Do

Adventure on your doorstep

Stone Ridge is a basecamp for the great outdoors and the rich wildlife of the Limpopo bushveld. Whether you're an early-rising birder, a keen angler, a mountain biker or simply someone who wants to watch giraffe from the stoep — something extraordinary is always waiting.

🐇

Game Viewing

Giraffe, wildebeest, zebra and antelope roam the farm — sometimes right past the cottage. Self-drive on farm roads or sit on the stoep and watch the action unfold at golden hour.
