Overberg Gems

Lagoon View is waiting for you.

Situated on a private estate between Stanford and Hermanus, this is a proper winter escape. Log on the fire, maybe some rain on the lagoon, nowhere you need to be.

Gather the family around the 8-seater dining table for a long lunch, braai on the covered veranda, then settle in for a late-night card game.

The birdlife at Lagoon View is spectacular whatever the season and nature enthusiasts will love it here.

It's peaceful, pretty, and exactly the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again.

🌿 Have you discovered The Little Farmhouse?

Set on a peaceful farm just outside Stanford, this relaxed country escape is all about space, fresh air and slowing things down.

Light a fire, enjoy a proper braai under the stars, and end the day in the wood-fired hot tub. Kids love the space (and the friendly donkeys Onkie and Penelope🐴), while grown-ups get to properly switch off.

It’s rustic, relaxed, and just the kind of place you didn’t know you needed.

✨ Sleeps 6 | Farm stay | Forest setting | Hot tub

We were so touched by this lovely review for The Blue House here in Stanford Village.
Despite the devastating fires the area experienced just over a month ago, Stanford remains a resilient, beautiful village with so much to offer.

We’re grateful to provide a space where guests can relax, feel at home, and enjoy everything this special place has to share.

Thank you, Riët, for your kind words and recommendation.❤

Sometimes a guest says it best 💚

Stephanie’s recent stay at The Little Farmhouse perfectly captures the magic of this peaceful hideaway — from our friendly donkeys to birdsong, silence, and a woodfired hot tub under the trees.

A true place where your soul can rest. 🌿✨

Plekkie waar jou binneste kan rus! Wat 'n ongelooflike ondervinding! Die rustigheid kan mens nie regtig in woorde vasvang nie. Met die aankoms het die twee pragtige donkies ons verwelkom en mens kan nie help om hulle net te wil soen nie! Die huis gee jou die perfekte gevoel van plaas, soos in die ou dae. Mens vergeet van die mal gejaag van die 'regte lewe' daar buite. Die stilte en die gesing van die voël, net wow! Die warmwaterbad onder die boom was 'n hoogtepunt. Ek kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie.
