Our Story

The Ludwick family

Between Bethlehem and Clarens in the Eastern Free State, there is a cozy guesthouse on the farm Fonteinhoek where you can forget about your worries and the buzz of the city.

The Ludwick family became the proud owners of the farm in 2006 after years of waiting for the perfect opportunity and dreams becoming reality. The Eastern Free State with all its natural beauty and charm quickly found a special place in the hearts of the Ludwick family. “Di Plek” is one of the many achievements on the farm that took countless hours and dedication to complete.

A Country Home

by Ellen P. Allerton

A nook among the hills, a little farm,
Whose fertile acres yield us daily bread:
A homely, low-browed dwelling, snug and warm,
With wide blue skies hung overhead.

No costly splendour here no gilded glow;
No dear bought pictures hang upon the walls;
But bright and happy faces come and go,
And through the windows God’s sweet sunshine falls.

Testimonials

“Baie dankie Nella en span vir ‘n onvergeetlike naweek op hierdie asemrowende plek van julle. Ons en die kinders het dit vreeslik geniet, die sonsondergang was die kersie op die koek! Mooier het ons nog nooit ervaar nie! Julle gasvryheid en vriedelikheid is uit die boonste rakke, ons het so tuis gevoel. So baie om te doen, geen “boring” oomblik nie, julle is GREAT! Ons het ons harte hier verloor met al die Vlaktes om jou wat jou verseker kan toor. Ons sien uit na ons volgende kuier – en die kinders kom nie uitgepraat oor hierdie lekker plaas nie.

Groete die Van Gassies”

“I had a remarkable time visiting the Fonteinhoek farm and it was ideal to stay here while exploring Clarens and visiting friends at Di Plaas Stoep.

My family enjoyed the stargazing by the bonfire after doing the hiking trails in the surrounding areas. Thank you for hosting us at your guesthouse.”
