Dabis Guest Farm

Since 1926, Dabis is owned by the Gaugler family and is now run by the fourth generation. They have achieved an effective balance between welcoming visitors and operating as an authentic farm.

Accommodation is provided in 7 comfortable twin-bed rooms with an en-suite shower (one has a bath instead) and toilet. Guests also benefit from a swimming pool and a tennis court. One of the main attractions of staying here, however, is learning about the farm.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early in the afternoon, have tea or coffee and then join the family on a farm drive for an hour or two. In depth the techniques will be explained, complete with information on the area’s climate over the last four decades. Dabis now farms mainly with crossbred sheep, for meat production, using advanced rotation techniques to survive on the low rainfall. Although the main emphasis is on farming, there are a number of small animals around to be seen.
