Every frame
The whole place, photographed
Nothing here is a render or a stock shot. This is what the farm, the caravan and the tub actually look like, in the light they actually get.
The hot tub and the splash pool
Wood-fired, out in the open, facing the mountains. The splash pool takes over in summer.
-
The wood-fired tub sits in the open, facing the veld and the sunset. -
Hot tub for winter, splash pool for summer, both facing the mountains. -
Filled and warming. The swing bench is where the towels live. -

The camper and the yard around it
Pergola, lawn, firepit, braai and the shaded lounge that gets used more than the caravan does.
-
The camper lives under its own pergola, out of the sun and the wind. -
Park alongside. Everything you need is within a few steps. -
Two loungers, a reed windbreak, and nothing else in earshot. -
The shaded lounge, built around the firepit. -
From the fire you can see straight out across the farm. -
Where most meals end up being eaten. -
Two chairs, one view, no schedule. -
The braai is a few steps from the caravan door.
Inside the caravan and the bathroom
Two beds, a dinette, a kitchenette, and a walled outdoor bathroom with hot water.
-
The double bed, made up and ready. -
Blankets and linen are provided. -
The single bed converts into a seating area by day. -
The dinette, for the days the wind gets up. -
Bar fridge, single-plate stove, kettle, crockery and cutlery. -
The bathroom is outside, walled and private. -
Hot water, open sky, corrugated walls. -
The bathroom door, and the fridge you will actually use. -
Washing up happens outside, which is no hardship here.
The animals on Algerynskraal
Camels, alpacas, angora goats, cattle, donkeys and chickens, all within sight of the caravan.
-
The farm keeps camels. They will come and look at you. -
Alpacas and camels share the home pen. -
Goats, cattle and donkeys, most of them curious. -

What you are looking at
The reason the chairs face the way they do.
-
The firepit gets lit most evenings. Wood is on the house. -
Nothing between the braai and the mountains. -
The long view, from under cover. -
Breakfast with the whole valley in front of you. -
This is the whole horizon. No neighbours in it.
