A welcome home
The sheep-farming town of Richmond was established in 1843, on one of the highest and coldest parts of the Cape's inland plateau, the Great Karoo. Receiving as little as 400mm of precipitation annually, the open and arid Karoo is home to an abundance of plains-dwelling game species. Ratelfontein is open all year round for weekend getaways, or as a holiday destination for small parties, and provides a relaxed and welcoming space to enjoy a Karoo wilderness adventure.
An ideal location to escape the corporate environment, offering peace and tranquility for focused board meetings, strategic planning sessions, or for team-building initiatives.
