Luckhoff - Xhariep - Free State - South Africa

Luckhoff lies on the R48, 50km south of Koffiefontein and is situated close to the Van Der Kloof Dam (Orange River) and the Rolfontein Nature Reserve. This small, idyllic town offers a lifestyle or a visit at an `alternative' pace, and allows you to stop and experience the beauty.


The town was established on the farm Koffiekuil (`coffee pool') in 1892 and named for the Rev H.J. Luckhoff, Dutch Reformed minister of Fauresmith when the new congregation was formed.
