Description

Bethany Farm is a working farm on a secluded smallholding at the foot of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, nestled in the apple orchards.

The farm and accommodation are not luxurious, it is simple and basic and down to earth. The road is not suitable for cars with low ground clearance. It is suited to people who love the countryside and appreciates the silence. The house is surrounded by trees, plants and animals, with a variety of walking trails to keep guests busy and a farm dam to cool off in.

This basic granny flat features a double bed and a mattress on the floor upon request. The open-plan living area has a view of the trees around the house, and the kitchen is equipped with a 2-plate gas stove, a fridge as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities. Private, outdoor braai facilities are provided and parking is available under the trees.

Bethany Farm functions on solar energy and makes use of LED lights and kerosene lamps. For those who are not familiar with solar energy, this means that 220 V power is available in the day from about an hour after the sun rises up to 2 hours after sunset. No equipment heavy on electricity use may be used here, this includes irons and hair dryers. Lighting works on a separate system, and that is available 24 hours a day.

The farm also grows its own fruit and vegetables and bottles their own olives. They still milk a couple of cows by hand and makes their own cheese and feta, mills their own grain, bakes bread and makes wine as well. Those that are interested in permaculture, water usage, compost, earthworms, chickens and more will appreciate everything on offer at Bethany Farm.
