An idyllic stay at the foot of the Skurweberg

Fairfield farm, just 6km north of Ceres on the road to Prince Alfred Hamlet, is a thriving pome fruit operation, with 41ha planted to apples and 40ha to pears. There are also 40 head of cattle.

The farm has three guest cottages and is a popular breakaway destination, which is hardly surprising given its location. Set at the foot of the majestic Skurweberg, it offers superb scenery and every incentive to take advantage of the outdoors: hiking and mountain biking routes, birdwatching aplenty, a large dam for fishing and canoeing, and more.
