Weimershoek: Valley and historic farm in the regional area

Schaefers’ Halt is located in the Weimershoek Valley between Lydenburg and Dullstroom. The farm in the wider regional area tells the story of a landscape shaped by old wagon routes and the railway.

Farm history in the valley

By 1888, S. J. Bothma had built his homestead near a perennial spring and the old wagon route. In 1913, the ZASM railway company applied for the right to use the spring water to supply its steam locomotives. The word “Halt” in the name also refers to these former stopping places.

The farm was restored in 2004 as closely as possible to its original architectural style. The building’s history adds to the picture of the valley between the two towns. If you would like to visit Schaefers’ Halt, confirm current access arrangements directly with the operator.
