Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary — Attraction in Langeberg Local Municipality

Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary is easy for find on the Langverwagten Road to McGregor from Robertson and there's a slow gravel road to the parking area.

The food was good though it took a while to arrive and while she delivered good and friendly service, Brittany appeared overworked as she operated both as a waiter, cashier, and in the kitchen.

They feed the rescue donkeys at 12pm and Jermaine is excellent in handling both the donkeys and entertaining guests.

You can also sponsor a recue donkey and they have lots of merchandise on sale which goes toward the support of the farm.

This is a feel good rustic friendly place allowing people to appreciate donkeys and the people...

Beautiful sanctuary. This is really a haven for donkeys with a peaceful atmosphere, large, clean, well-maintained enclosures and people who are genuinely passionate about helping these intelligent, gentle animals. We also got to see the cutest flock of ducklings at their duck pond. They have a cute bookstore where we stocked up on very interesting titles, including a bunch of Afrikaans poetry books for me. The little donkey store has lovely art, toys, wine and more. The restaurant had a vegan option. I would highly recommend visiting this wonderful place and supporting their cause. They really do much needed and valuable work for these animals in the sanctuary and...
