Retreat to a working farm where life unfolds slowly.
At the foot of the Olifantsberg lies Eikehof, a heritage farm rooted in the Breede River Valley. Long before it became a place of gathering and rest, the land was tended slowly and with care. Today, five quiet stays are set gently across the farm, where days follow the rhythm of gardens, water and wide skies.
At the heart of Eikehof, the Manor House is a heritage home shaped by time and care. Its interiors bring together antiques, considered design, and modern comforts without excess. With generous dining and living spaces, a binnebraai, and quiet corners to linger, it is a place made for connection and celebration.
Adjacent to the Manor House, Oude School Huisje is a two-bedroom cottage filled with light and quiet charm. Once a schoolhouse for farm children, it has been thoughtfully restored to offer a gentle blend of history and comfort, with space to settle in and stay awhile.
Bergzicht, which translates to “mountain view” is a charming cottage perched at the hill’s summit and promises a truly unforgettable stay. Inside, you’ll find a cozy space equipped with a kitchenette and a sunlit lounge area that boasts a dramatic view of the Olifantsberg mountain. With a plush king-size bed and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen, your stay is bound to be nothing short of remarkable.
Set just beyond the Manor House, De Kippe Huisje is a one-bedroom cottage designed for quiet, comfortable stays. Thoughtfully styled and gently tucked into the farm, it offers a simple, relaxed retreat with a connection to the rhythms of the land.
Set beneath the blue gums, Uitzicht Cottage is the most private stay on the farm, an intimate retreat with wide views across the valley. Just a short walk from the forest, it offers a quiet, romantic escape shaped by landscape, light and stillness.

Weddings

Each celebration is approached with respect for the farm, its rhythms, and its quiet character.

Step into the wider valley’s quiet grandeur, hike or bike scenic trails, swim in mountain-fed water, picnic among vineyards, and discover historic towns and markets framed by open skies and distant peaks.
“Uitsig was an amazing, tucked away retreat, complete with farm eggs, olive oil from the farm and even labelled carrots to feed the donkeys.”
