A place where time slows, nature
leads, and simplicity is part of the luxury.
Set in the heart of the bushveld just outside Brits, Farm Vibes invites you to
step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with the land, the
quiet, and yourself. Life here follows a gentler rhythm — shaped by sunrise,
birdsong, crackling fires, and open skies.
Our guest house is proudly eco-conscious and runs on solar power,
embracing a way of living that is thoughtful, grounded, and in tune with
nature. Shared spaces are designed for connection, reflection, and rest,
encouraging guests to truly unwind and be present.
Whether you’re here for a short breakaway or a longer pause, we hope you
feel the ease, warmth, and authenticity that define Farm Vibes.
Each room at Farm Vibes Guest House is inspired by one of the four
elements, reflecting a different mood, energy, and way of resting. All rooms
are thoughtfully designed to honour the old farmhouse character while
offering comfort, privacy, and a sense of calm.
The farm on which Farm Vibes Guest House stands was originally founded in 1986 as Farm
U-Turn by Murray and Anne McHattie. Interestingly, Murray was a descendant of the
McHattie family member who introduced the famous Can-Can dancers from Ireland to South
Africa, a small but colourful piece of history tied to this land.
In its early years, the farm operated as a layer farm, supplying fresh eggs to the local
community. Over time, it transitioned to broiler farming before eventually evolving into a place
of rest, retreat, and hospitality. In later years, it became known as OppiPlasie Guest House.
As the property continued to grow and mature, so did its identity. In embracing a renewed
vision rooted in nature, simplicity, and meaningful connection, the guest house was rebranded
as Farm Vibes Guest House. While the name has changed, the heart of the place remains
deeply connected to its farming heritage and bushveld surroundings.
Since opening the guest house in 2020, we have come a long way, growing from two in-
house rooms with a shared bathroom to proudly offering thoughtfully designed, farm-inspired
rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Our aim has always been to provide a rustic, peaceful
bushveld stay with a name you can trust, a place where guests can step away from city life,
slow down, and reconnect.
In keeping with our commitment to sustainability, Farm Vibes Guest House operates on solar
power and embraces an eco-conscious way of living. For this reason, televisions and
kettles are not placed in guest rooms. These shared facilities are available in
designated areas, as outlined in this Welcome Book.
We invite you to enjoy the quiet rhythm of farm life, the beauty of the bushveld, and the
relaxed, grounded atmosphere that defines Farm Vibes Guest House.
