Everything you need to know about both Buff & Fellow experiences — choose your destination below.
Buff & Fellow is not one experience — it's two.
Nestled in the heart of the Garden Route, just outside George in the Western Cape, Buff & Fellow offers two completely different but deeply connected escapes. Whether you're dreaming of waking up to buffalo on a game farm, or falling asleep to the sound of the ocean at a private beach house on a lagoon — or both — you'll find everything you need to plan your perfect stay right here.
Buff & Fellow Game Farm — George
The bush experience.
Buff & Fellow Game Farm is a luxury eco game farm situated just 10km from George Airport on South Africa's famous Garden Route. Set on the banks of Ultreya Dam with breathtaking views of the Outeniqua Mountains, the farm is home to buffalo, white rhino, giraffe, eland, springbok, waterbuck, and abundant birdlife.
Choose from 10 uniquely designed self-catering accommodation units — eco pods for couples, eco cabins for families, coconut villas for something extraordinary, and safari villas for the ultimate luxury game farm experience. Every unit includes a private wood-fired jacuzzi, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor braai, and direct views of the dam and mountains.
The farm runs entirely on solar power, is eco-certified, and sits on a working buffalo farm called Ultreya — a Spanish word meaning "Onward with Courage."
Activities include guided game drives, farm walks, canoeing on the dam, fishing, picnics, boma fires, and stargazing. Add a meal-in-a-box delivered to your cabin, or arrange a private chef for a truly special evening.

How the two properties connect

Many guests choose to split their stay: a night or two on the game farm for wildlife, hot tubs, and mountain sunsets, followed by a night or two at the beach house for lagoon living, ocean walks, and coastal relaxation.
This "bush and beach" combination is one of the most popular ways to experience the Garden Route — and with Buff & Fellow, you can do it entirely within the same trusted brand, with the same commitment to quality, detail, and unforgettable guest experiences.
One trip. Two worlds. Endless memories.
