Jakkalswater Guest farm , is a nature-orientated guest farm , 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.

It is situated in the foothills of the granite heads of the Kamiesberg , where quiver trees look out across the valley and Klipspringers roam.

Jakkalswater is entirely “off the grid” and green .

The incredible pure (and awesome tasting) water is obtained from a natural underground fountain.
