Absolute stilte weg van die stadslawaai met 'n asemrowende uitsig.

Die eenvoudigheid van die huis se ontwerp en styl trek jou dadelik aan en betower die ligging van die pragtige natuurskoon. Die voetpaadjie na die huis bekoorlik, assok die uitsig op die rivier en berg met die geluide van die voëlgesang. Selfs 'n visarend gehoor en gesien.

Absolute silence away from the city noise with a breathtaking view.

The simplicity of the house's design and style immediately attracts you and enchants the location of the beautiful scenery. The footpath to the house is charming, as well as the view of the river and mountain with the sounds of birdsong. Even heard and saw an osprey.

Peaceful, immersed in nature.

This cleverly designed and beautifully situated cottage has spectacular views over the Gonubie River, surrounded by natural forest which makes it a nature-lover's paradise. Small thoughtful touches everywhere, plus a forest deck that is just magical. Host Karen was warm and welcoming, and while the farm is not fully operational at present, she took the time to show me around and explain the integrated homesteading. It was a wonderful stay - nightjars calling all night an added bonus!

Wonderful experience off grid.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Heartwood Homestead, and learned a lot about life off-grid. Our hosts opened their home to us, and were helpful. Our busy girls, always had something to do. We are sold on the compost toilet.

Romantiese wegbreek.

Ons het dit báie geniet by Heartwood Homestead en sal graag weer hier kom ontspan. Die uitsig oor die vallei is asemrowend en skep die atmosfeer vir rus en ontspan met 'n boek of 'n bordspeletjie.

Romantic getaway.

We really enjoyed it at Heartwood Homestead and would love to come and relax here again. The view over the valley is breathtaking and creates the atmosphere for rest and relaxation with a book or a board game.

Peace and quiet.

After emerging from the pathway carved through the bush that leads to the cottage, this wide beautiful valley opens up before you. All you want to do is sit on the little deck and stare out into the distance. So quiet, so still. really relaxing. The sleeper couch may not be suitable for an adult, it's a little stiff and narrow but should be fine for a child. Perfect for a one or two night stay. Wonderful hosts. Freshly squeezed farm milk in the fridge!

Fantastic off-the-grid experience.

We loved being away on the farm, the cottage was very well kitted out and comfortable with fantastic views. Roger and Karen were most welcoming hosts, making the stay extra special.

Dit is rustige en uiters gerieflike verblyf in die natuur, met lieflike mense wat met oop arms ontvang! Nie net die normale gasvryheid nie, maar bo en behalwe!

As jy lief is vir die natuur en of graag plaasatmosfeer geniet, of selfs net 'n bietjie stilte en vrede wil ervaar, is hierdie die ideale blyplek, met al die geriewe netjies en sorgsaam aangebied. Dit is 'n plekkie waar mens werklik rus, vrede en vriendelikheid ervaar en daar selfs vir jou plaas produkte aangebied en selfs aangedra word. Ons het ons verblyf en die omgewing wat meer as genoeg vir elke smaak aanbied, terdee geniet en sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel!

It is peaceful and exceptionally convenient accommodation in nature with lovely people who receive you with open arms. Not just the normal hospitality but above and beyond!

If you love nature and/or would like to enjoy a farm environment, or if you are just looking for some peace and quiet, this is the ideal accommodation with all the facilities neatly and carefully offered. It is a place where you can really rest, experience peace and friendliness and they even offer you farm products and even brings it to you. We thoroughly enjoyed our accommodation and the area that offers enough for every person's liking and will recommend it anytime!
