    That’s what we thought when we stayed here for a few days. It is breathtakingly beautiful, the mountains and water. We enjoyed the hot tub and canoeing in the lake. We felt connected to nature. And then also a super nice host.

    The views were amazing, and the comforts inside the cottages were really impressive. There wasnt really anything missing. The beds were comfy and the wall panels made it even more cosy for the cold evenings once we got to bed

    Loved the tranquility and the peacefulness. The cows right on our doorstep was a pleasant surprise. The hike to the waterfall was great. Wish the weather was a bit better but didn't detract from the lovely surrounds. Will be coming back in...

Property information

This breathtakingly beautiful farm is situated just outside the historical town of Swellendam (the third oldest town in South Africa) in a lush green valley bordering the foothills of the majestic Langeberg Mountain. The setting is simply idyllic, with stunning views of the mountain, green pastures where cattle and horses graze, a serene spring-fed lake, and the lovely Buffeljags River which runs the length of the farm. The farm has ownership rights to a few thousand hectares of pristine mountain ground with trails through indigenous forest and fynbos to magical mountain valleys, waterfalls and rock pools. Each season reveals its own secret beauty making the farm a special place to visit year round. This truly is a paradise for all. The Manor House is set in a beautiful valley, magically enjoying both spectacular sunrises and sunsets and long days of sun shine throughout the year, with stunning views over green pastures and the majestic Langeberg mountain range. Stroll down to the river frontage and picnic under giant stink wood trees. Venture across the river into the indigenous forest where small buck and the shy cape otter may be spotted and follow the mountain trail .
