Company info

Gave up big city life and a thriving catering business to retire to the countryside. I now spend my days gardening, cooking from our vegetable garden and running a guest house. Avid birder and love animals and camping and safari'ing through Africa.

Property info

Welcome to our beautiful farm nestled in a picturesque valley, offering a serene countryside retreat. Our historic farm blends upmarket country charm with modern comfort. Luxurious decor and thoughtful touches create a welcoming ambiance. Four unique and private cottages offer guests an array of options. From romantic cozy cottages for two, or six-sleeper houses for the whole family or a group of friends to enjoy. Savour a scenic stroll through the farmlands, feed the cows, collect eggs from the chickens or dine al fresco on the private patio with your own braai and enjoy a wood fired hot tub under the starry night sky. Our cottages offers an idyllic escape.

Neighborhood info

Set in the prestigious, pristine and coveted Hermitage Valley of Swellendam, our farm is situated at the foothills of the famous Langeberg Mountains. The valley is fertile and verdant and has the unique feature of feeling remote and peaceful, yet being only 5 minutes away from the convenience of modern amenities, shops and restaurants of the town of Swellendam.
