Our Story
Rooted in the Free State Since 2014.
Goldfields Game Ranch was established in 2014 on the R730 between Virginia and Theunissen. Set within the open Free State landscape and shaped by the Doring River, the ranch has become a place where visitors can stay, dine, explore, play golf and gather for special occasions.
The experience has grown around a simple idea: giving people space to slow down, spend time together and enjoy the surroundings.
A place to slow down and reconnect with the landscape.
The Setting
Between Grassland and River.
The ranch sits within open Free State grassland, with the Doring River running through the property and wide Free State skies above it.
Wildlife forms part of the setting, and the quiet of the surrounding grassland is much of what visitors remember.
Goldfields Today
One Destination. Many Ways to Experience It.
