A RICH HISTORY
a place shaped by time.
Eikehof’s history is written not in grand gestures, but in continuity — in land worked carefully, buildings lived in fully, and a farmstead shaped slowly over generations.
What stands here today carries the marks of those who came before, and the quiet responsibility of those who care for it now - a farm shaped by time, and still becoming.
The Land
Long before it became a place of gathering and rest, Eikehof was a working farm rooted in the rhythms of the Breede River Valley.
The land provided what was needed — water, shelter, fertile soil — and in return asked for patience and stewardship. Seasons set the pace. The mountains stood constant. Life unfolded as it always has here: slowly, and in close conversation with the land.
The historic homestead at Eikehof reflects a way of building that valued proportion, durability, and restraint. Its walls were raised to last, its spaces designed for living rather than display. Over time, the house has adapted gently — absorbing change without losing its character. The result is a home that feels settled, layered, and quietly assured.
Nothing here is precious for its own sake. Everything has been used, repaired, and lived with.
Eikehof has always been a place of work as well as refuge. Gardens are tended daily. Trees are planted with the future in mind. The farm remains active and responsive to the seasons, with care given to what grows here and how the land is held.
This ongoing relationship between land and caretaker is central to Eikehof’s identity — past and present.
