Cook, soak, laze, be still
Wake up in a king-size bed (or 2 singles) with luxury linen
Curl up on the day bed with a book

Unwind in your walk-in shower after a day of exploring

Fully equipped self-catering kitchen (SMEG induction stove, fridge, utensils, cutlery & crockery)
Tea, coffee, olive oil, salt & pepper
Towels & daily cleaning service

Luxury W**e Farm Farmhouse | Hemel-en-Aarde Valley | Sleeps 8+4
A Restorative Escape on a Working W**e Farm

Tucked away in the sought-after Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this beautifully curated luxury farmhouse offers a truly restorative escape on a working w**e farm. Sleeping up to eight guests across four elegant bedrooms, with an additional bunk room for the kids (or the young at heart), it’s the perfect setting for family gatherings or groups of friends seeking comfort, charm, and a little bit of magic.
Thoughtfully renovated with three crackling fireplaces, open-plan entertaining spaces, a cosy TV lounge, a well-stocked bar, and picture-perfect farm décor throughout, this is a home that invites you to slow down. Spend your days at the dam, exploring the farm on foot, by bike, or on an early morning run through the vines. Spend your evenings gathered around the fire pit or braai, glass of exceptional local w**e in hand.
This is more than a place to stay. It’s a place to breathe, reconnect, and step away from the noise of modern life into something altogether more beautiful.
Set among the rolling vineyards of one of the Cape’s most celebrated w**e valleys, this farmhouse is a rare find — spacious enough for a big group, yet intimate and warm enough to feel like your own private retreat. Wander the farm, cool off in the dam, uncork something local as the sun goes down, and let the evenings unfold around the fire.
Whether it’s a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or simply a group of friends craving slow mornings and starlit nights, this Hemel-en-Aarde farmhouse delivers an experience as unforgettable as the valley it calls home.
