White House Guest Farm

Grünau
Guest house, Self Catering
(18
rooms)
This beautiful house was built in the early 1900’s and is situated on a 15,000 ha farm on the B1 in Grünau. Come and enjoy the wide-open spaces, the peace and tranquillity, the beautiful sunsets and the millions of bright stars at night.
In 1912 Frederich Haschke bought the farm Mickberg (15 000 hectares) for £2 500.
It was then known as the waterless farm. He immediately started building a house for Martha Feiber, his wife to be. Building material for the house was imported from Germany to Lüderitz Bay, from where it was railed to Klein-Karas station. A steel tired wagon was used to transport the material from Klein-Karas station to the farm. Water needed for building the house was transported from the neighbouring farm, Grabwasser. There is no information on how long it took to complete the house, but after all the trouble of building the house for his bride, to his greatest disappointment, he still could not find any water on the farm. When the First World War broke out, troops from the Union of South Africa invaded this German colony. In April 1915 the young couple, who were pursued by troops, fled to the north of the colony with some of their possessions and livestock. The White House was left behind, furniture and all. Their flight was cut short when they were arrested on the 17th of April and all their possessions were confiscated. Frederich was sent to a prisoners-of-war camp at Kimberley and Martha was kept prisoner at Gibeon. All the adversity was too much for Frederich. He was declared temporarily insane and sent to Valkenburg, a mental hospital in Cape Town. In 1918 he was sent back to Germany, where he was re-united with his wife.
Fully equipped with modern amenities. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom and access to a well-stocked fridge. For the nature lovers, camping is available as well as tents, mattresses, bedding, braai packs and wood.
Establishment facilities include: restaurant, secure parking, and internet facilities.
Please note:
* Children aged between 0 and 5 stay free.
* Check-in: 14h00-21h00 only. Check out: No later than 10h00.
* All rooms and public areas are non-smoking.
* Pets are allowed but only in Room No. 1 subject to availability and must be arranged beforehand.
