Welcome to Hemel 'N Aarde Stud

The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is just a few kilometres inland from the picturesque town of Hermanus, enjoying generally moderate temperatures and sea breezes in a climate that suits the growth of thoroughbred horses. The fertile Valley also grows other nationally and internationally famous farming products: grapes for award winning wines in neighbouring estates and the highest quality fruit and vegetables, supplying major retailers at home and abroad.

  • The epitome of peace and tranquility. Absolutely gorgeous.

    The place was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by the mountains and had a gorgeous hot water tub to top it up. The host Sue was the most amazing. I felt welcomed even before I arrived. She went above and beyond to making sure my stay was comfortable. I totally enjoyed my stay at Hemel ‘N Aarde.
