Rooms

Bare Necessities is a nudist-only farm stay in Swellendam. The Deluxe Double Room with Shower offers a spotlessly clean space with a comfortable bed and hot showers, both in-room and outdoor. Rooms include heating and are non-smoking. Some guests noted no TV or internet in the cottage, but the focus is on the rural farm view. Fresh, creamy milk from on-site dairy cows is available.

Kitchen

Guests have access to a shared kitchen and BBQ facilities for self-catering. The hosts offer delicious shared meals and welcome drinks like beer or wine on arrival. Picnic areas and a wine/champagne selection add to the dining options. Dining is communal, with an outdoor fireplace and seating.

Leisure

A year-round outdoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and wood-fired hot tub with an amazing view are available. Recreational facilities include billiards, bowling, darts, a games room, and board games. Outdoor activities include hiking, walking tours, and use of the garden, sun terrace, and outdoor furniture. The property also has a picnic area and bicycle parking.

Landmarks

The farm is 26 km from Drostdy Museum and Swellendam Golf Course, 34 km from Star Nation Art Studio, and 38 km from Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve. Hiking trails are nearby. Free parking and accessible parking are provided. The location is tranquil with stunning views, far from crowds.

Free WiFi & Pet Friendly

Free WiFi is available in public areas. Services include laundry, a designated smoking area, and fire extinguishers. Pets are allowed. The owners are hospitable and considerate smokers. The property is open all year and offers a clothes-free, naturist environment.

“This establishment masterfully cultivates a genuine sense of freedom through its explicit naturist ethos. The warmth of the hosts, Neels and Petro, truly elevates the experience, creating an atmosphere where guests feel instantly comfortable and deeply cared for, whether sharing a meal or simply enjoying the tranquil farm setting. It's a place that understands the profound simplicity of allowing oneself to be entirely at ease.”
