About us
Nestled in Banhoek Valley, our sustainable farm, founded in 2017, spans sixty hectares of breathtaking landscapes. Our small, passionate team welcomes guests from across the globe to unwind in our cabins, each with a private wood-fired hot tub, or relax in our infrared sauna. Explore our mountain biking and hiking trails or enjoy wild swimming in our springwater dams. We grow produce in mixed orchards to minimize pesticides, while our Dexter cattle fertilize the fields and our ducks keep pests in check, ensuring a thriving, eco-conscious haven.
As well as “Camissa” a three bedroom cottage overlooking 2 small dams, we also rent out our gorgeous and romantic eco cabins, “Agama”, “Almond” “Avocado” and “Rosemary” in Horseshoe Valley and the “Bed in the Shed” an upstairs/downstairs bedroom and living area with the best view on the farm. This is available for ones and twos or families who don’t mind an early start on week days! Weekends are peaceful like everywhere else on the farm.
You will find all the usual suspects prowling around after dark; leopard, porcupine, buck, mongoose….I am particularly fond of the chameleonic agama lizards which are always to be found in couples during the day, sunbathing on the huge rocks that stud the hillsides. There is a nesting pair of jackal buzzards which circle constantly and several families of eagle owls that keep the rodents largely under control. At night you will hear nightjars calling and clicking stream frogs chirruping by the dam. If you are unlucky you may be disturbed by a raucous toad party. When that happens I try to feel grateful that the toads are the most raucous creatures in my neighbourhood.
