Agri-tourism at its best! The accommodation is spread over three luxurious chalets. Pumula is a working grain and cattle farm 7km outside Fouriesburg in the Eastern Free State highlands. The region boasts fantastic scenery, many various outdoor activities and Anglo/Boer Ware history. It is situated in the Brandwater Basin south of Bethlehem and on the border with Lesotho. Lesotho is well known for the Highlands Water Project, and a tour of the Katsi dam wall is a must. Go skiing at Oxbow in winter, or just play around in the snow.
