This place is out of this world. When we checked in around 5pm two giraffes were walking right next to our cottage! Unbelievable welcome. Make sure you book the cottage as they are amazing - especially the hot tub and barbecue. We made most of our stay. We sat on terrace, with fire, bbq, and right in front of our cottage - so many animals were walking by - giraffes, ostriches…inside everything is well equipped - kitchen has all you need. And fast WiFi and electricity works all the time. Staff is very friendly and we fell so welcomed. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for everything!

Guests can enjoy the many horses on the farm, as well as a dam, play area, a trickling stream and green pastures. Various activities in the surroundings include golf, hiking, cycling, berry picking, honey tasting and horse riding.

Complementary rusks (fresh and delicious); Additional coffees, tea, jam, and sugar were welcomed. Wines, olive oil, and other items were offered, and for use as needed with the honesty jar supplied. The ultimate favorite for my family was the woodfired up tub. It was the most perfect activity to get warmed up and relax after a long day. We had a nice walk on the gravel road in the morning. Even during load-shedding lights were provided and created an even more comfortable stay. The fresh air in the countryside was soo refreshing. If we had more time we could have joined the Hermitage trial run ( will definitely do that next time). We are coming back to this perfect spot of heaven and tranquility. GREAT services and all promises were honored. Thank you.

    The host was extremely responsive and prompt to reply when we had questions or concerns. She even walked over when we arrived to ensure that we made it to the right house, which can be tricky to find with gps. The farmhouse is a sweet rustic construction, with pretty much everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. Perfect stopping point between Cape Town and the garden route.

    Beautiful house with all the amenities one might need (air fryer included). The area is vast and the views stunning. So much space to explore and enjoy, by foot, bicycle or 4x4. The river with canoes is wonderful. The farm dogs are too sweet and well-behaved. So much to love! Will be back.

    Everything was beyond our exspectations. The owner Lizette and her family were so kind and welcoming. They shared with us their special evening dinner of Snoek and sweet potatoes. What a treat. The old farmhouse is most delightfully decorated with old Dutch flavor and history. The garden is full of flowers and special places to rest. Pool was very cold, but refreshing.
