This 1700s Cape Dutch homestead has been lovingly restored to a stylish yet cosy guesthouse . We practice regenerative farming and all alien species have been cleared . There is a huge collection of domestic animals inclusive of poultry , pigs, horses, cows , dogs and cats .
We love our children , our animals and conserving the land . We love sharing our little piece of Paradise with like minded guests .
This is farming community with an active town which has a few good coffee shops . The area boasts spectacular scenery with hiking , cycling , mountain Rock pools to explore as well as nearby wine and gin tasting and a short day trip to coastal towns such as Stillbay and Jongensfontein.
