Bullsport Guest Farm has eight en-suite rooms and a sparkling pool set in a large garden. Six of these are twin rooms, one is a triple room – with three beds, and another is their 'family room' – which has four beds. Although these aren't large, extra beds are available if requested. Two of the rooms have baths, and all the rest have showers; all have fans (there is no air-conditioning).
They have a very small library, and a self-service bar.
Büllsport Guest Farm owns a section of the Naukluft Mountains and it is an ideal place for hiking in the Naukluft Mountains. There are stunning hiking opportunities on the Bullsport farm or in the Namib Naukluft Mountains (help from Ernst's versatile 4WD is optional) and for visits to Sesriem and Sossusvlei.
Bullsport also breeds Namibian horses, and are one of only a few registered studs in the country. Johanna runs guided horseback trips for more experienced riders.
Some of the money paid for accommodation is going back into the community trust that has been set up to provide members of the local community with guide training programmes. So far they have trained eight members of the local community as 'level 1' tour guides.
