Die Mas Resort

Die Mas – a name which means ‘the mast’ – is a table grape, wine grape, raisin, cotton, corn and livestock farm, to name just a few of its products.  Its name was originally taken from the last three letters of the name Kakamas, the town near which the farm is located.  In Afrikaans, however, ‘mas’ means ‘mast’, and so the farm has adopted a ship as its logo.

The farm is situated on the banks of the Orange River, only 40km from the Augrabies Falls.  Accommodation is in chalets or in the spacious caravan/campsite, which is grassed and has ablution facilities and a deck (made from old vine branches) over-looking the Orange River.  Each campsite has electricity, and a huge central lapa comprises a kitchen, braai (barbecue) area, tables, a dance area and a bar – the ideal place for a large party.  Large functions are a speciality of the Hanekoms, with advanced booking essential.  Firewood is available.

Activities on the farm include walking and hiking, fishing (yellowfish, barber and carp), canoeing, mountain biking, bird watching and participating in farm activities.  This is the ideal getaway for the whole family as it is a true multi-purpose working farm.  The farm animals include ostrich, geese, horses, cows, sheep, pigs, peacocks and guinea fowl – and all have their uses – e.g. the goose down is made into pillows and even butter is made on the farm. Whether guests wish to simply relax in the shade, venture out into the river, horse-ride or try their hand at farming, Die Mas can offer it. Pets are welcome.
