Outeniqua Moon Percheron Stud Farm & Guesthouse

Here you can take time out to ride on a horse-drawn cart; to touch and be amazed by the wonderful giant Percheron horses. Delight in petting the foals and stroking the lovely mares

Peter and Christine Watt arrived in the Ruiterbos district near Mossel Bay in December 2000. They had a vague idea of doing something with tourism on the run down farm with only a two bed-roomed dwelling. Today there is a lovely Victorian-style Guest House, with gorgeous accommodation where attention to comfort is the main priority.

Being horse lovers they started looking at the different breeds. On a walk-about around Stellenbosch they stumbled onto Elsenburg’s Percherons. Peter immediately fell in love with the magnificent giants, Christine soon followed suite.
