We offer different accommodation on the farm as we love it so much we realised what fun it is to share it with others.
You can choose from The Herb Cottage which is one of two self catering cottages has space for 4 or 5 people and has its own swimming pool and braai facilities, and well equipped kitchen. There is a lovely walk along the river.
Frida's View has space for 4 and a deck with a great view. Also private pool and braai area.
Then if you love to camp, Coral Tree Camp is the place for you – some people have called it “glamping” but its really laid back camping with perfect views and facilities. You book out the whole campsite but it is only accessible with a 4 x 4. And is pet friendly.
The farm grows avocados, macadamias and herbs and is surrounded by indigenous forest, disappearing up the mountainsides into the mist. You can walk around and explore the area, or visit the Glass Art Studio which is centrally located at the workshop.
It is not recommended to bring a car with low profile tyres on our dirt road but normal sedans will manage to get to the Herb Cottage and Frida's View easily. The campsite is reached only with a 4 x 4 vehicle.
Please note we only take two night stays over weekends.

Lovely natural waterfalls ½ an hour away – take a picnic and your swimming gear. Enjoy the majesty of the falls, where you can walk, braai, swim and sunbathe or just relax to the sound of the rushing water.

Woodbush forest is on our doorstep, second biggest indigenous forest in SA.

As we live in a forest, there are still wild animals to be seen. Bush buck and bush pig footprints are regularly spotted in the mud along the river, and porcupine often leave a quill or two along the road. We also get civets, genets and honey badgers. Endangered Samango monkeys are abundant and you can hear them chattering in the trees.

The butterflies around here make this a magical place if you just take time to watch them drift past. Watch a lovely mocker swallowtail flit around the pineapple sage or a yellow pansy sunning itself on the deck or a mother of pearl gleaming in the forest. Lekgalameetse Nature reserve is nearby where even more can be spotted and it’s a good place to take a picnic for the day!
