Description
Cheval Vapeur horse farm is situated in the heart of Cape Town’s seasonal wetlands in the Philippi Horticultural Area,a rural area consisting of vegetable and other farms on the Cape Flats between Ottery and Mitchells Plain. It is a wonderfully tranquil oasis and nature haven.
The Farm offers self-catering accommodation at very affordable prices. Accommodation comprises 12 units and can accommodate 42 guests. Units are serviced daily, except Sundays and public holidays. Guests have access to braai facilities.
Cheval Vapeur is fully secured with 24-hour, armed response, electric fencing, night security guards, dogs and resident owners.
It is safe, secluded, peaceful and quiet but surprisingly central to Cape Town’s many attractions. The Royal Cape Golf Club and Zeekoevlei bird sanctuary are within 10 min by car. Wynberg, Kenilworth, Plumstead and Muizenberg are 15 to 20 min away. The Waterfront and the City Bowl within 25 to 30 min. Stellenbosch, Paarl and the wine routes are within 40 min and the Cape Point Nature Reserve is 60 km away.
There is a dam on the property and a but with the current drought, the dam is effectively empty.
Various bird species such as Moorhens, Cormorants, Egyptian Geese, Sacred Ibis, Hadedas, Cootes, Malachite Kingfisher, Dabchicks, Darters, White Faced and Yellow Billed Ducks and more reside on the property. There is also a substantial community of Western Leopard Toads.
