Hotel Description
The Old Village on Modderfontein farm, 2 kilometres outside Citrusdal and just under two hours? drive from Cape Town on the N7 North, was the first entrance and gateway to the Olifantsriver Valley. Modderfontein, after being established in 1725 to provide livestock to abattoirs in the Cape, became the crossroads to other farms which were subsequent allocated along the Olifantsriver.At the turn of the 20th century, a new town was laid out across the river following the establishment of a new Dutch Reformed Church. Finally, in 1960 a modern pass was opened that bypassed the old village and led to the decline of traffic through Modderfontein farm.
