DESCRIPTION:
Rosstrevor is a late Victorian farmhouse, beautifully restored and just 25 kilometers from Barkly East. Nestled in the foothills of the Witteberg, the southern extension of the Drakensberg and 30 kilometers from Tiffendell Ski Resort.
Find peace and tranquility by strolling along the banks of our crystal streams, or do bird watching or visit our rock art sites. Hiking in the high mountains or forsaking in the river gravels for crystal agars will keep you entertained for hours.
