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.

    We were booked near the farmhouse. However, we were upgraded to one of the cottages, and my word was it an experience. The animals roam past the cottage while you sit outside watching the sunset. You can also go do a self-drive to see the rest of the animals. We also caught and released fish at the dams. This place was super peaceful and tranquil. Not too far away from the town, too. The cottage was fully equipped, and the staff were just super friendly. We will be back!

    We slept at the farm house for one night during our trip. The accommodation is surrounded by great nature! Absolutely beautiful. We’ve seen baboons about 200 meters from the property. The house was well equipped and communication up front was perfect!

    The property is tranquil and gives a pleasant farm stay experience. We liked the berry tasting, the level of privacy, and the fact that we had our own private entrance. The garden suite is very neat. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

    A beautiful farm stay in the winelands, close to Swellendam, Montagu and Robertson! We received such a warm welcome from the staff and had a stunning dinner at their restaurant, Just Amy. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world! Ask to do a wine tasting as well of the single vineyard wines this farm produces and don't leave without trying the farm's pomegranate juice. The rooms are really well equipped and comfortable with everything you need!
