ABOUT US
Gerrit and Estelle Brits bought Over The Mountain Guest Farm in December 2014. At the time it had been operating as a guest house for almost 15 years.
Since moving here in February 2015 they have improved and repaired the buildings and property, expanded the service offering and upgraded the quality of our rooms.
It has given them great pleasure to see how their staff has developed and taken pride in their work and in the guest house.
Gerrit’s life verse is “..to make it my ambition to lead a quiet life and to attend to my own business and to work with my hands ..” (1 Thess. 4:11). This fits perfectly with their lifestyle here at Over the Mountain.
