About us

A Legacy of Hospitality

Springvale Farm has been a labor of love for the Berning family since 1974. What began as a horse stud has evolved through the years, transitioning to a beef operation, then a thriving dairy, and now a cherished countryside retreat. Our journey reflects our commitment to preserving the farm's rich history while embracing the changing needs of our guests. Today, we invite you to become part of our story, experiencing the warmth and authenticity that only a family-run farm can offer.

What Our Guests Say

  • Exceptional accommodation equipped with everything you could want. Lovely staff and extra little touches make it very homely. Situated on a working dairy farm just off the main road.
    Lorna, South Africa
  • Real value for money & superbly furnished, highly recommended if you visit the area.
    Danie, South Africa
  • The hosts exceeded our expectations with little things to make you feel at home: a welcoming board, fresh and warm farm bread, a lovely fireplace that was already packed.
    Izak, South Africa
  • I think we have found a little gem and will definitely be back
    We thoroughly enjoyed the endless space and the attention to detail. The fresh farm milk for our morning coffee was a winner.
    There was nothing not to like in my opinion!!!
    Arthur, South Africa
  • Ouhout Cottage is a very special place. It is quite luxurious, but with a relaxed country ambiance. Definitely a go-to place if you have a week or weekend to unwind. Sandra spoilt us with fresh farm milk (when did we last see milk in a glass bottle with some 8cm cream on top?), home baked bread and jam and lots of little thoughtful touches. And a highlight on an early morning walk was coming across a just-born calf snuggling up to mum. Countryside at its best.
