About 13km outside Springbok (on the Nababeep road) and about 6km from the N7 highway off ramp , in the heart of Namaqualand in the Northern Cape.

Jakkalswater is nestled in the foothills of the granite heads of the Kamiesberg, where quiver trees stand guard over the valley and Klipspringers roam freely.

Completely “off the grid” and environmentally friendly, Jakkalswater runs on sustainable energy. Our pure, refreshing water comes from a natural underground fountain, while solar panels provide power and gas geysers supply hot water.

Our accommodation includes 14 self-catering units, each equipped with linen, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen. These units can accommodate between 2 and 4 guests, with arrangements available for up to 6 guests if needed. In addition, we offer 6 spacious camping sites and 4 simple wooden Wendy houses, each with its own bathroom and essential amenities—perfect for the budget-conscious traveller.

Jakkalswater also boasts a stunning chapel, set against the dramatic granite mountains with breathtaking views across the Namaqua Valley—an idyllic setting for your dream wedding.

We also offer a spacious and sheltered reception area (“lapa”), fully equipped with braai facilities, bathrooms, and all essential amenities. This versatile event space is perfect for seminars, meetings, and large gatherings, and regularly hosts annual events for several well-known organisations.

About half of the plant species found here are unique to the Namaqualand region. After the winter rains (July to October), the farm transforms into a vibrant floral paradise, with over 3,000 plant species in bloom—including bokbaai vygies, daisies, gazanias, cattails, and many more.
 

Guests are welcome to hike anywhere on the farm and take in the breathtaking scenery—just be mindful of the delicate ecosystem. Climb the granite heads in search of the elusive Klipspringers and playful baboons, or explore the dry riverbeds, keeping an eye out for the tiny “padloper” turtles while admiring the incredible diversity of the floral kingdom.

While Jakkalswater is a destination in its own right, it also makes an ideal overnight stop on the way to Namibia, the Richtersveld, and South Africa’s northwestern coast.

Endless amazing day trips can be arranged with Jakkalswater as your base—offering privacy, panoramic views, breathtaking sunsets, and unforgettable starry skies!
